A moment of appreciation for a man who is undoubtedly the world's most successful promoter of Lemmy and the fediverse

3 years ago by makeasnek to c/memes

A man who grabbed our concept of a centralized internet by the balls and squeezed it so hard that the Lemmy’s user count 65xed in a 3 months period. Thank you for your service

It really is funny. The only reason I went to reddit is that my phone app for news at the time (2011) took a shit and someone recommended reddit. I downloaded an app and that was the only way I interacted with reddit for over a decade. Then he killed that app and I figured if I'm going to have to adjust to a new app, I'm going elsewhere. What a dumbass.

There are a fair few mods who are genuinely installed by the admins to be fascists, and if any of the other mods complain they get kicked out. Also I have yet to see a single instance of some group in power joking that they're nazis where they didn't end up actually being nazis.

He's famous for having said that he's looking forward to the zombie apocalypse because it would let him live his fantasy of being a slaver.

There was also a hate subreddit where the mods all had a collective turn of heart and decided to shut down, but then reddit stepped in, reestablished the place, cleared house and then installed a new set of mods so that the subreddit could keep running. Yes, seriously.

My 12 year account was banned. Still not sure why. Prior to that, i was banned from r/idiotsincars for speaking out against stereotypical jokes on Asians with bad driving by stating the statistics that Asians are not the worst driver. I guess that ruined their joke in that subreddit. Then they shadow banned me. My new accounts posts can't be seen by the public.

To be honest, Reddit is too liberal. And this is coming from a long time liberal voter. You can't say anything anymore. Everything is sensitive and inappropriate base on what's trendy. Freedom of speech means there should be of different voices. But reddit only wants certain voices. Apparently, the downvoting system is not enough. They have to go extra step to let a small group of individuals to decide, okay this guy will be forever banned from posting on Reddit. That's insane amount of power and influence. I now lost my voice on one of the most popular and engaging social media platform. Crazy huh.

Reddit summarized: I got temp banned from a subreddit for calling a neo-nazi a cracker so I made the mod's message "Calling someone a cracker isn't standing up to racism" my flair on SubredditDrama where I proceeded to get perm banned from for spoiling Hogwarts Legacy before literally everyone on that subreddit started doing it so it was reduced to a temp. Oh and that one time I got a perm from a certain hexbear-affiliated subreddit for pointing out that some guy receiving a bunch of positive attention was probably an anti-semite but it would be a few years later before I got banned entirely off that site. Point is, reddit mods will ban you over the stupidest shit.

Elon Musk gets to take credit for some of Mastodon's popularity me thinks.

Yeah, Lemmy's popularity is due to the enshittification of Reddit. But, Mastodon is bigger and its popularity is entirely due to Elon Musk setting fire to $40b.

I also like how it's affecting all the other businesses: Tesla, Space X, etc. People who looked up to him were proud to own Teslas, now people are ashamed, and looking more critically. Any factions in the government who were happy to rely on Space X to resupply the ISS are now probably having to defend their assessments. I just hope that it spreads to other "genius" billionaires like Ellison and Bezos and their businesses.

Because in theory, there will be "sister" communities on different servers and everyone can just go somewhere else on the same platform.

IMO, the master stroke is to 'sub-federate' communites. Allow each special interest community on each instance to join into the same feed.

I should be able to go to /c/books on any server and see all /c/book from all servers. Content discovery and curation/moderation filters are then applied in top of the raw feed as subscriptions chosen by the user with community suggested defaults chosen out of the choices from high reputation users's subscription.

I like that concept but I'm worried that weighting anything by superusers opens the door to astroturf, spam, and trolls.

In practice there's a big one and unless there's a big schism that fragments the community, the big community will suck the air out for any smaller community in any topic.

Worse if it actually worked as intended and each tiny community stayed fragmented forever and em never amounted to anything.

I question if it is by design to prevent the formation of true, fediverse wide, decentralized but coalesced community.

If it is by accident, then it is a huge missed opportunity.

But I don't think it's by accident. The protagonist of Lemmy is the instance owner and the moderator, not the user. So the important part of the network is the instance fiefdom, not the whole network. Instances should just be another mirror of the whole, instead of tiny dictatorships.

Everyone at school was legally required to bully him and it was talking up too much time from everyone's schedules (not to mention the regular bullies who basically had their duties doubled, underpaid teachers had to bully him in their spare time, etc) ... so they told him he was a boy genius, gave him a degree & threw him out - now he's everyone else's problem.

Hello there king ubermeisters,

It is I, the humble spokesperson for all of Lemmy. We sincerely apologize for falling short of your almighty opinion of opinions and expectations! How naive of us to air our own feelings about someone online and forget about your precious opinions and reaction to reactions.

In the future we will try Uber hard to think about your all-important feelings about another lying corpo pig who outright lied and defrauded one of his own user base. Surely one day your ball gobbling sycophant glory will be repaid in full through a deep and rough anal plunging you so clearly desire. Soon you will join the ranks of your masters - do not fret us lowly people.

Sincerely,

Eat shit.
