I am trying to get there, but so far I don't seem to be dumb enough. Please kick me when I make it.

User @celerate@lemmy.world has been defenestrated

It's what happens with a small community. Interaction and discussion VS lowest common denominator humour for mass votes.
We all want Lemmy to succeed, but that only means that it'll turn back into reddit. It's the natural cycle of social media.

Possibly but at least Lemmy is federated.

Come a day, we'll all end up back on Fark and the cycle will repeat itself.

I told my gf, who I met on Reddit, about migrating from Fark to Reddit, and I'm trying to get her to join us here... but now she went and is exploring Fark, which is somehow still around, and I'm like you're doing it wrong!
Fredselfish 1 point 3 years ago
What Fark? Never heard of that.

I never knew what asinine meant until I used fark... It was educational in many ways, for sure.
I dunno, I think there's still some rose colored glasses going on

I've read the term 'tankie' more in one week on Lemmy than in the rest of my life combined.

So far the people who were most likely to jump ship on reddit were those who were the most fed up with what reddit has become lately.
I just had my 10th cakeday on reddit about a month ago and I've seen a steep decline in quality for both posts and interactions for the last 4-5 years, with it accelerating in the last year or so. Those that never tried old reddit on desktop or a 3rd party app see no reason to jump ship for another platform, and a large portion of the rude commenters and trolls showed up after the new layout was default and reddit had their own official app in the app stores.
Reddit just filtered out most of the people that made the site what it was in the first place. If it was turning into a shithole before all the people that actually care about the site left, just imagine what it will be like in the coming weeks now that we're gone.

Absolutely not. But I must say that I don't miss the toxicity at all. Being on the (liberal?) Fediverse has done wonders for my mental health. There's little tolerance for bullshittery and that helps foster a stronger sense of real community for a greater cause in my mind.
name_NULL111653 5 points 3 years ago
I don't think it's even necessarily all the same political alignment, so much as it is that we're all united against Reddit and this corporate tomfoolery right now. It won't last forever, but in being united for a common cause, we've sort of achieved world peace lol. I'm a libertarian. I've seen us, republicans, democrats, liberals, conservatives, socialists, and everything in between uniting to discuss technology, bash Reddit, and work to build back our global communication forums. This is the progress in humanity that the internet's creators envisioned. This is unity and peace. It won't last forever, but if we can at least continue to respect each other (while holding different opinions), unite against those who show no respect or dignity, and continue to rebuild together, we have in my opinion bettered humanity for years, hopefully generations to come. Even expecting that this platform won't last forever - none ever will - we have learned through this to not take our open forum and free discussion for granted.

federation makes the possibility of a sane lemmy experience much more real. we can all slink off to our own quiet (but still tightly on-topic) "slices/sublems/whatever" when the insane ones get too much. federation is the killer app.
oh_so_hazey 6 points 3 years ago
It was either that or just get absolutely buried under the thousand other voices. I'm sure 80% - 90% of my comments were never seen.

Well, it's just feels like more close community, so it's just subconsciously feels better to be not too rough.
Flukemaster 2 points 3 years ago
No global count afaik.
southsamurai 1 point 3 years ago
There's a few slapfights here and there, but it isn't just you. I'm fucking loving the relative chillness of the feidverse as it is now. It's the internet, so there are assholes, and the bigger it gets, the base percentage of assholes will grow with it, but the learning curve is just the tiniest bit higher than reddit or facebook, or even twitter, so the worst assholes haven't decided to go through that yet.

so far I've experienced a ton of whataboutism and really sus views/devils advocate type shit on here (lemme.ml) that makes me not want to browse. is there a better alternative that's not saying "why can't we all just have our own opinion ❤️🌈" on shit like genocide and anti LGBT culture

Beehaw has a strict no hate speech policy and the mods aren’t afraid to put their foot down when people are sort of toeing the line about being a terrible person. That’s my instance and I’m very proud of it and it’s mod team. Sounds like it would be a good fit for you, too. Also, even if you don’t get an account there, you may be happy hanging out on the communities they host. Here’s a link to the mods describing their philosophy. https://beehaw.org/post/107014

you're the second person to recommend beehaw! I'll switch over !! thank you ☺️
golden_zealot 6 points 3 years ago
There are other lemmy instances which might work better for you than lemmy.ml in that case.
I believe the beehaw.org instance might fit that description, would recommend checking them out.
