Has to be one of my favorite videos so far.. lots of things going here:
1. The guy who called ICE "pussy" was right *behind* the agent who then took off after the wrong guy (he was smart to run on the snow) and slipped and fell.
2. Said mouth foamy agent then bumps into a person that was just standing there and proceeds to tackle them *then* gets the crowd jumping on top of him.
Attached: 1 video
As usual, anytime ICE tries to patrol on foot the first Minnesotan that won't comply is the snow.

I want to make this absolutely clear: the United States has a unique, decentralized voting mechanism, totally different from how they run elections elsewhere in the world. Whenever people talk about “the vote is not even going to happen”, they are referring to a situation that *cannot* happen here. Whenever you talk about not bothering to vote because it doesn’t matter, or it’s not worth supporting politicians at this point, because they’re all the same or the vote is somehow rigged, you’re being disingenuous, dishonest, or both. I will not be taking anything you say seriously after you say something like that. If you are not a United States voter, I especially do not want to see your opinion on whether or not elections are taking place here. Killing hope is a well-known information warfare technique and we have to protect ourselves from it. #USPol

Yo por lo que llevo visto creo entender que Elena Rocks cuando se siente atacada tira por la vía del humor. El problema es que probablemente tiene la misma actitud cuando se siente atacada con razón y en situaciones en las que simplemente se la está criticando porque no estuvo acertada, en las que más que como un ataque hacia ella sobre el que frivolizar debería reflexionar al respecto, aún más por la responsabilidad como admin.
Me estuve leyendo el informe de masto.es sobre tuiter.rocks y también los comentarios donde se añadían más cosas, algunas objeciones al informe. A cuento de eso estoy reflexionando y también de toots que veo sobre cómo no se tiene claro si es obvio. No sé del todo qué pensar. Encima me pilla en unos días de capacidad cognitiva hecha un gurruño más gurruño de lo habitual aunque tampoco nada raro en mí, pero hay veces que me cuesta mucho pensar, retener información, etc.
A mí lo que más me ha impactado de lo que he leído es que ella y más gente se burlaron de alguien que habló de suicidio. En eso echo de menos el contexto xq me cuesta dar crédito, es que me parece de una gravedad tan extrema que apaga y vámonos, no hay que decir más. Por otro lado por el hecho de que se han vertido mentiras y descontextualizaciones pues es lo que digo de que no sé si hay algo importante que no sepa que cambie la situación también en ese caso.
Hay algo que dudo mucho y se está tomando como la prueba más irrefutable de bullying. Es que sobre el material para hacer camisetas y post se refiera hacer bullying. Se la ha llamado en falso tránsfoba, molusca, pick-me para luego decir que quien es pick-me es por fea... Me da la impresión de que es sobre eso sobre lo que pretende "reírse", no de nadie, sino una forma de sobrellevar esa parte de daño hacia ella. Hay gente que se ríe de lo que le duele, es sabido.
Entiendo que se la ha tratado de esa manera en reacción a que el asunto se inició porque ella fue a un post ajeno a mostrar su desacuerdo de una forma muy inadecuada, no comparto nada ni el contenido ni la forma de su desacuerdo. Y he leído las advertencias de no hacer tone policing respecto a la reacción de la autora del post tras eso. Una cosa es no hacer tone policing y otra ignorar el suceso y dar por hecho otras motivaciones como si las obvias no hubieran sucedido.
Honestamente no sé cómo se puede saber que va a ser para bullying y no porque simplemente es su gestión emocional de los insultos que ha recibido. Si sucede luego que veo que camisetas haciendo bullying, vendiendo camisetas en las que llame molusca a una usuaria o lo que sea, me parecerá absolutamente reprobable y repulsivo. Pero no veo el futuro.
A todo esto NO me gusta la forma en la que Elena reaccionó al post ni lo está llevando a posteriori ojo. No es una defensa en absoluto. No la conozco ni la sigo aunque le diría lo mismo tal como lo pienso.
El tema es que tanto en RRSS como en la vida real ya he visto que a veces se hacen críticas muy graves que generan la presión de posicionarse en contra xq nadie quiere que se le relacione con semejante barbaridad, y que luego no eran tal cual. Hay amiguismos, presión de grupo, sesgos sobre lo que elegir pasar por alto, lo que contextualizar y con lo que ir a cuchillo, etc.
Muchas veces he sido muy consciente del daño tan terrible que hace eso y he pensado en lo importante que es ser crítique con la información que llega incluso cuando alude a las cosas a las que podemos tener más aversión (ej: cuidado que es bully) o vienen de posiciones que tal como se declaran nos inspirarían simpatía (ej: yo soy de izquierda y te digo que x es tal cosa horrible)
Muchas de las críticas que se hacen respecto a su mal comportamiento, que son muy graves, son interpretaciones dudosas, algunas de las cuales han resultado ser falsas. Así es que me quedo con una sensación de mucha preocupación y mucho no sé. Cosas que tengo muy claras y cosas sobre las que dudo.
@rober sí en la medida de lo posible estoy atenta estos días para enterarme por las advertencias que estoy leyendo, algunas de ellas avisos muy graves. Sobre lo que dices sí vi una camiseta, la de la IA, es lo que digo de que veo que cuando se siente atacada tira por el humor pero a veces debería tomarlo serio y reflexionar. Si hablan mal de su instancia ("ataque") asume que reapropiarse del ataque es siempre lo sano. Pero a veces hay que escuchar y reflexionar.
@rober Honestamente dudo q lo hiciera para burlarse de la persona concreta xq si no me equivoco no aparece quién fue ni nada. Creo que sólo quien lo dijo se reconoce, que imagino que no lo toma en plan traición a unas palabras que dijo en confianza o así, xq el tono era de enemistad. Es decir, no veo que lo haga con afán de señalamiento xq no veo señalade a su autore y tampoco creo q pretenda daño encubierto, por eso no deduzco bullying, pero tampoco me parece ahí acertado.
Eso es todo lo que puedo decir al menos por la información que tengo hasta el momento. Imagino que sin saber todo y también sin ver el futuro. Puede que en otro momento piense otra cosa. De momento lo que estoy es muy preocupada, que ya estaba, pero más.

As some of you may know, !wholesome@reddthat.com is now more active than this community. Reddthat is a nice instance, and having the community there allows us to spread the communities across the different instances.
As it is usually easier for people to subscribe to only community, we are thinking about creating a pinned post here, pointing to !wholesome@reddthat.com, and lock the community.
If needed, the community can always be unlocked in the future.
Personally I think reddthat is too close a nod to reddit, which means issues (because wanting to distance from reddit later, I don't think there's going to be legal issues). Otherwise assuming the same admins and such, all the same for me, I get them both in my feed at the moment.
Wouldn't all instances called feddit also fall into that category?
I personally like Reddthat a lot, if you look at their community announcements ( reddthat.com/c/reddthat ) you can see that they care a lot about their instance and want to see it succeed.
@ticoombs@reddthat.com is a great admin, very transparent and approachable
I absolutely want to believe reddthat has the best intentions, just wary of the name. In the end, I'm just a casual passerby from yet another instance with my tiny opinion, don't worry too much about it 😊
Network effect is still at play, look at Lemmy.world place among the most active communities: piefed.zip/communities?search=…
You can see that the vast majority of the communities are hosted on LW.
Moving the active community to another instance (Reddthat) is a way to ensure the platform is more reliant. And should Reddthat go down, we could just reopen this one and discuss here where to go next.
I prefer multiple redundant communities for a few reasons.
If one is on an instance I've blocked (not in this case) it cuts off the discussion entirely. Like if the municipality and other communities on .ml never had redundant communities elsewhere I wouldn't see any of it.
Moderation can make engagement unfun on some instances.
It does increase crossposting and redundancy. Piefed currently merges comments of crosspoats which is awesome and lemmy could in the future.
So while I don't oppose it in this case, the consolidation trend seems to be swinging to the opposite extreme from intentional fragmentation instead of just letting each community grow and fade out on their own.
I too came here to say ~this! Having only one community takes away some of the benefits that decentralization provides; meanwhile, similar communities can just link to each other in their sidebar
similar communities can just link to each other in their sidebar
Linking to each other in the sidebar doesn't really solve the issue - most of the people don't read the sidebar - quite a few apps don't make is easy to see the sidebar (or sometimes don't show it at all) - people still want to post once, and be done with it
In any case, it's something that needs to be solved with a UX feature (e.g. how Piefed does it already (?)), not by changing how we use the whole network
People can still post in only one community if they want to
Having to look at a sidebar, a pinned comment, or an automated DM, is way better that having a single point of failure for our discussions which can be taken down by defederation, censorship, server data loss, etc; people who don't care (or don't know) about those, can just subscribe to only one of the communities and... just see fewer posts 🤔
If we just host all the communities on one instance, we'll just be making a new Reddit
You can see that the vast majority of the communities are hosted on LW.

Thanks for your perspective! I agree we don't want to be reddit. I moderate a few comms and IME pinned comments get totally missed. I've had issues receiving DMs a few times so I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it by DM. The idea of decentralisation is spreading it over the fediverse, not just on one instance. Reddthat isn't the primary instance so I think we'd be ok. I do totally see your concerns about censorship etc.
PieFed has a number of options that support this, including: 1. showing the side-bar text below each and every single post 2. combining together all comments across all cross-posts regardless of which communities are involved or which instances those are on 3. combining together multiple communities into one "Topic" (provided by instance admin) or "Feed" (these are user-customizable and even shareable!)
The only down-side is that I think atm none of these are supported by its brand-new API, so apps like Voyager cannot take advantage of them yet, and are limited to the same experience that you have with just basic Lemmy, but even that is only a temporary issue as PieFed zooms ahead with adding new features practically weekly.
Piefed currently merges comments of crosspoats which is awesome and lemmy could in the future.
The issue is that at the moment, Lemmy still does not support this, and there's no clear timeline on when Lemmy 1.0 will release ( voyager.lemmy.ml/ shows it running, but it still seems like it's being tested)
instead of just letting each community grow and fade out on their own.
The other issue is that communities tend to not fade out on their own if they have a high enough amount of subscribers, even if those are not active users. The two !wholesome communities here are a bit of an example - LadyButterfly has been posting daily on the Reddthat one for weeks - The LW one is still used by people, either unaware of the Reddthat one, or thinking that they will have a larger audience on a community with more subscribers
There are communities where the instances have been shut down for years, but people still post there because they show a high number of subscribers: lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemm…
Lemmy.film shut down 2 years ago, posts made there never federate anywhere.
Finally, everyone is still able to create their own community on a topic if they wish to. Past experiences just show that usually there's poster burnout happening after a few weeks being the only poster on a community, and that it's usually easier to join an existing community.
Poster burnout is regularly discussed on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people interested.
The LW one is still used by people, either unaware of the Reddthat one, or thinking that they will have a larger audience on a community with more subscribers
Or like me they subbed to more than one of the same community across instances. It shouldn't be a competition.
Past experiences just show that usually there's poster burnout happening after a few weeks being the only poster on a community, and that it's usually easier to join an existing community.
Then the community fades away and that is what I would prefer to happen instead of formally closing and moving. A post about the prolific posters switching over worked well for the migration to piefed as far as I can tell.

It's not a competition, it's about keeping an activity level in one place. It's indeed easier to stay subscribed to several communities, but once you start posting you always double guess which one you should post to ( lawsofux.com/choice-overload/ ).
Then the community fades away and that is what I would prefer to happen instead of formally closing and moving.
As I said, it never really fades away. There was a post on lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemm… this week (lemmy.world/post/36120606?scro… ) , that person will probably never get any comment there because it's not federated, but they have no way to know about that.
Then if someone shows up to give the platform a try, they have a look at a community like !lego@piefed.social that barely has any posts, when !lego@piefed.social has activity daily. They think the platform is dead, and leave.
A post about the prolific posters switching over worked well for the migration to piefed as far as I can tell.
Depends on the community. !movies@piefed.social is indeed more active, but you still have people posting to !movies@lemmy.world because they think it has a bigger audience. Same for !lego@piefed.social and !lego@lemmy.world. The only ones where there really a move were the communities on lemm.ee, as the instance shut down.
The tendency for people to get overwhelmed when they are presented with a large number of options, often used interchangeably with the term paradox of choice.
I know you've probably gotten this feedback a lot, but this whole crusade of yours of trying to reduce decentralization on Lemmy is really counterproductive. If Lemmy users wanted centralization they wouldn't be on a decentralized protocol.
It's not a competition, it's about keeping an activity level in one place. It's indeed easier to stay subscribed to several communities, but once you start posting you always double guess which one you should post to ( lawsofux.com/choice-overload/ ).
This sounds like you're in favor of keeping everything in a single community i.e. consolidation despite claiming to be against it.
The tendency for people to get overwhelmed when they are presented with a large number of options, often used interchangeably with the term paradox of choice.
The issue is that at the moment, Lemmy still does not support this...
A note to think about for the future: at what point do we start treating Lemmy as the disabled cousin that needs extra assistance to do even the most basic tasks? I cannot think of a single concession that has ever once been offered to PieFed to "compete" with Lemmy - every single step that it has ever taken it has EARNED its reputation, both good and bad, for being new but (relatively speaking) feature-complete, and for adding new features at what seems like a break-neck pace, which I can only hope does not entirely exhaust its main developers, especially when the project still has so very little funding support.
If you are worried that Lemmy is too centralized, then perhaps move this community to a PieFed instance? PieFed helps to support decentralization, whereas migrating to any Lemmy instance merely postpones the issue to have to once again be revisited later on, when Lemmy is even further behind and PieFed even more further ahead than it is now.
I am glad that Lemmy exists. I am even more glad that PieFed does. I use both on a weekly basis. I hope both will continue to exist. But regarding the issue of "centralization", as with nearly all other issues, one of them has a clear and definite edge over the other...

A post from 2 days ago presented a graph that showed an important variation in the active userbase: discuss.tchncs.de/post/5256565…
Going through the comments in the other posts, a few recommendations that can help with the overall experience
use different feeds: either using different Lemmy/Mbin accounts (one account per type of content), or Piefed personal feeds, but being able to browse different feeds such as "Good news", "Hobbies", "Art", "Life advice" help to see more content than politics and tech
discover communities: subscribe to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, !fedigrow@lemmy.zip and !newcommunities@lemmy.world to add active communities to your feeds
go to general communities rather than specific ones: the current user base only allows so much specialization. Your favorite city builder community may not exist, but !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works does. !stationery@lemmy.world and !pen_and_paper@lemmy.world may be inactive, but !journaling@sh.itjust.works is not.
use a client that allows for comments consolidation: I don't remember which mobile apps does it (Sync, I think?), Piefed has that feature built-in too. It allows to see all comments on a cross-post in the same view: piefed.zip/c/privacy/p/928874/…
report toxic users and avoid communities that do not handle your reports: quite a few comments mentioned that issue in the other thread. Mods can't see everything, reporting helps to keep the atmosphere of a community enjoyable.
use a client that implements keyword filters: quite a few mobile apps and alternative Lemmy front-ends do, Piefed has it built in. It can really help avoid the "doom and gloom" overwhelming your feed.
Finally, a few communities recommendations for lighthearted communities - !casualconversation@piefed.social - !goodnewseveryone@piefed.social - !wholesome@reddthat.com - !nicememes@sopuli.xyz - !dullsters@dullsters.net / !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world - !twogoobers@lemmy.zip
So what's going on here, most likely, is that the intake of new users is declining as opposed to people specifically being driven off the platform (as some users allege).
Oh people making the claim that Lemmy being too political or too hard-left drives users off and is responsible for the user malaise. I'm sure that's true, but not to an appreciable level.
The difference, one would assume, is that on the whole, Reddit's political biases influence more what is not shown (much like lemmy.ml banning people for any criticism of Russia, China, or North Korea, or the echo chamber in hexbear), whereas Lemmy's tankie issue also manifests as people actively sea-lioning (e.g. Cowbee) and (especially from hexbear) overt trolling, which shows up more in people's faces. Both are issues, neither are good.
I've come across some people who have no idea what "sealioning" even means. There used to be a hb user "Ulysses" or something, like three years ago, who accused me of doing it after I replied to their reply to my reply, and that's the only conversation we'd ever had. I pulled up the definition of sealioning and the comic which the word originated from, and they just say "no that's not true, stop sealioning".
I feel like some people just think sealioning means "this person keeps replying to my posts", as if conversations on a public forum are somehow uncalled for, or unusual.
The sealion in the original comic is completely correct, which makes me very suspicious of anyone who dismisses someone for "sealioning" and as you say, it usually is just used as an excuse not to engage with what someone is saying.
The sealion in the comic overheard someone being racist against them, and stepped in to say, "Hey, why are you being racist?" And for some reason is wrong because... they're persistent? Or because they're annoying? How is that not literally just every "anti-woke" argument?
there are a million logical fallacies that flow forth from the mouths of racists and selfish mainstream people, to do with avoiding or shutting down important conversations.
'Sealion' is one of my favorites, and you barely hear any legitimate examples of it anywhere, only people using it fallaciously against each other, gaslighting and being toxic and ruining relationships, killing the potential for new ones.
The sealion in the comic overheard someone being racist against them, and stepped in to say, “Hey, why are you being racist?” And for some reason is wrong because… they’re persistent? Or because they’re annoying? How is that not literally just every “anti-woke” argument?
I think the point is that the sea lion is feigning civility while harassing someone over a casual opinion.
My response would be that if we extend the metaphor, like you did, and substitute the absurd 'sea lions' for a race, then harassing the racist doesn't bother me. Bigots don't deserve peace. It's absolutely harassment to stalk and interrogate someone who doesn't want to talk, I just wouldn't care that they're being harassed for airing such bigotry.
(On the other hand, if we assume the original opinion is not a metaphor and replace it with a similarly absurd statement, like enjoying pineapple on pizza, then the sea lion would be acting unreasonably. If someone followed you around online and kept bringing up how you prefer pizza to be prepared, demanding a calm discussion and insisting on peer-reviewed proof that pizza tastes better a certain way, while you ask them to stop, that harassment would obviously be uncalled for. For what it's worth, the author made a comment that it wasn't meant to be "analogous to a prejudice based on race, species, or other immutable characteristics." - but I say it's a though-provoking interpretation to explore regardless)
By my experience, Reddit has some influence from government that they unofficially confirmed. And Reddit admins(not even talking about moderators) are actively promoting some political ideas in their actions. Like, protecting ICE and mass murders in Gaza. The most interesting thing is that this mostly works in large comunities, because of in small ones you will not see such thing except for rare occasions. This also affects their filters. In one subreddit your comment will trigger ban, while in some others the same quote will have no effect at all. This is really annoying.
I could criticize China right now, here in this community on Lemmy.world, but if I did so in a community on Lemmy.ml I would get banned from not only the entire instance but from communities that I've never so much as heard of. We have censorship here too.
And we have toxicity here as well. As too does Reddit. It is a little odd to hear Redditors of all people complain about toxicity:-). Maybe they were used to smaller communities on Reddit, avoiding the big ones, but then here with far less content you pretty much have to subscribe to the large communities (like is there another one talking about the Fediverse besides this one that is more worthwhile?), where the toxicity is more visible?
I don't know, I haven't wanted to actually talk to people on Reddit for several years now:-).
Well, I agree that there are some specialized comunities for people that want to believe in 1 idea. Like Lemmy.ml. And if you don't want to be the part of a brainwashed herd, you either leave by yourself or get banned. This is normal. I am talking about the active platform wide banning regardless of comunity. I don't see such thing on Lemmy unless you are really harming the platform like mass spamming or sharing dangerous software. On Reddit you no longer can have a normal conversation, since you can get banned not only by a toxic mod but also by shitty AI system. And then you cannot even expect for the appeal to be normally processed by a human, since either they are also being reviewed by AI or the workers are too lazy to properly work(which is quite relatable since there are thousands of appeals and not enough workers because of a greedy management).
Due to the decentralization on Lemmy, even if you get banned from even 2 or 3 instances, you still have a lot of parts of platform available for you. While on Reddit your ban affects you and your account dramatically. Especially, if you are not paying them for the pro version.
Reddit is worse both overall and on average, agreed. I will say that Lemmy.ml is extremely well-known for mass banning people even from communities that they've never heard of, so it's more than a little bit like Reddit, though as you say with the federated model someone can always go elsewhere, and still see the same content.
There are some slight ways in which the Lemmy implementation of federation is very authoritarian, like how it does not send you any kind of notification that your content has been removed, or even that you have been banned - people simply have to discover that on their own (and oftentimes never!), months to years later. And there's no modmail to be able to ask questions why, plus the modlog most often obscures the name of the mod anyway, so you can't even DM them, nor, as you could on Reddit, can you ask them in the same post that has been removed from the community yet still exists for those who have the URL, since Lemmy not only deletes the post in that case but offers a confusing generic error message as if the post never existed in the first place.
So believe it or not, Reddit actually offers some (very few but somewhat foundational) more rights to people there than Lemmy does here!!! Lemmy offers supreme rights to someone wanting to spin up their own instance and be an admin (though CSAM brigading is a constant threat), and also offers special privileges to mods as well, but normal everyday users have far less protections. It is up to each person to decide which "rights" they value most - there is no right here to not have your content deleted by a bot btw, though it is far less common on the Threadiverse than on Reddit, I hear.
Overall I think it's better here than there, though as the OP graph shows that seems to not be an opinion shared universally by all people looking for a threaded conversational platform, since we are losing slightly more people than we gain, slowly getting smaller over time (now at ~35k active users, down from the peak of ~55k at the time of the first major Rexodus).
Mods on Reddit can ban you and ignore anyway. But, agree. Some functionality on Lemmy still needs to be. I hope that developers add it within few years.
Agreed except that given its history, I strongly doubt that most of it ever will be. The developers of the Lemmy codebase made the software for their own desires, and it functions perfectly well as far as they are concerned, fitting in very well with the authoritarian nature of lemmy.ml where even mods seem cowed to barely do anything and instead the admin is the strongest initiator.
I have simultaneously both great respect to them for having made Lemmy as FOSS while also I realistically acknowledge that they do not have the same goals in mind that I and most Westerners do about the rights of individual people vs. that of the State. In their own words:
If you dont like it, fork it. Stop bothering us about it
(In fairness here, they did later recant on that position, after great public outcry, to remove the hard-coded filters for swear words like "fuck" that were baked into the code at the time. Though Nutomic is absolutely correct in the general sense at least: if people want something that the devs do not want, it is not necessarily the devs responsibility to provide it? Similarly for changing the prioritization of which features to work on first.)
Therefore even without knowing the future plans of either platform, I can practically guarantee that you will see such features added to PieFed, probably multiple years before they show up on Lemmy. In fact it's already started a year ago now where Lemmy's "instance block" that still allows users from those supposedly "blocked" instances to read, vote on, and reply to your content, plus send you DMs, even triggering notifications, whereas PieFed allows you to block all users from an instance. PieFed's version works, while Lemmy's was promised for years and then never did, and at this point I assume never will.
And in a second example, PieFed just changed how deleted posts are handled: the user controls their own content, but not the content of others, so e.g. if they ask a question they can delete that question, but they can no longer delete the answers delivered to that question by other people.
Sorry if I am salty but I have lost hope in Lemmy. And I am putting all my hope instead into PieFed:-).
It's generally not a good idea to hard code something like the slur filter because the needs of every instance is different. Instances in another language would need their versions, and cases where...
I would get banned from not only the entire instance but from communities that I’ve never so much as heard of
That's not how it works. You get banned from the instance and all communities you have commented or posted in. And it wouldn't be any different if it were to happen on .world or .zip.
(I know OpenStars and piefed.social users cannot see this, however I wanted everyone else to at least understand how bans work)
I saw this post on lemmy.ml just prior to the USA election, seemingly portraying the bOtH sIdEs myth that helped encourage people to not vote and thereby get Donald Trump elected:
To be honest the tankies made my transition to lemmy a bit smoother, since they fill the same niche as the idiots of t_d, so it made lemmy kinda familiar.
A really interesting discussion in particular is below the reply saying:
The issues you brought up are very much on Reddit too. They are just more noticeable on Lemmy because there aren't enough niche subs or fluff to drown them out.
Other replies included "I did end up shutting down my instance.", which continued on with "But, for me, seeing people blindly bash the USA every chance they get, It's a turn off." - like, I get that the USA is unpopular (especially now), and also I am okay with the Threadiverse remaining small, but I did want to push back against this magical type of thinking that we can both have our cake and eat it to, in the form of both bashing people from it and also reaching out to invite people on Reddit (who are primarily from the USA) to join us here. Maybe Lemmy will have more success by marketing itself as more "European" (or at least "non-USA", so maybe European + Global South)? Whatever goal we want to aim for, we should keep our eyes open as we aim directly at it, imho.
I do not think that all or even most Threadiverse instances should defederate from lemmy.ml, but on the other hand it would be extremely nice if just ONE instance would do so, which we could then share to people on Reddit as a nicer entry point for those more centrist-leaning users who are primarily people from the USA. Or else decide that that goal is (collectively) not what we all want. The latter being what ended up happening, whether intentionally or no.
Fwiw, Lemmy has gotten much better over the years in this respect, imho, with many more instances having banned lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net specifically.
Like, look at those contortionist comment replies trying to state that, e.g.:
(if anyone's out of the loop - lemmygrad isn't "lemmy", they are usually defederated by regular instances and their content isn't visible in "lemmy" as it is colloquially understood)
This topic is a MAJOR, oft-repeated reason why people on Reddit refuse to come here and check us out.
reddit.com/r/RedditAlternative… (the title there gets cut off but continues with "it's still beyond terrible"), and here is that post's concluding paragraph:
If you have a very narrow worldview, politics is your entire personality, and you enjoy dry, charged humor then I guess Lemmy is a good alternative for you, but if you're anybody else it's not worth it. Reddit is not good, everybody here agrees. However, despite it's numerous flaws it's still a product than Lemmy at it's very best. It's simply not a viable alternative imo. Even Instagram and Tiktok are better alternatives than Lemmy.
Note that I do not agree, just stating how these people said that they felt, if that is helpful for a diagnosis of the state of affairs and what we could potentially do to help mitigate those concerns. e.g. I successfully petitioned for discuss.online to defederate from hexbear.net, thinking that could help make Redditors feel more welcomed here. Although now I am placing my hope more in PieFed (which e.g. allows users to perform their own personalized defederations without needing admin approval to block all users from any specific instance), while giving up much hope for Lemmy to keep up with its wondrous pace of adding new features.
Has anything changed since a year ago in this regard though? Tankies are still here, lemmy.ml not defederated from anywhere, hexbear almost disappeared but managed to come back. We made discuss.online a better landing space for newbies, but now the shift is more towards PieFed, which I mentioned several thoughts about in a separate thread.
Not only on Reddit, even on Lemmy there are a bunch of people bashing on the tankies being present on Lemmy, in that community e.g. in the recent discussion at piefed.zip/c/fedibridge/p/7953… like this comment:
That’s the problem, they do manipulate it. There was a thread a while back that showed how ml basically shows up as one of the random instances to join, like 95% of the time. So it’s not actually random.
We can say all we like how we wish that it were not a problem, but people on Reddit seem to disagree and not want to join regardless. Though I have noticed that either positive or negative opinions are very rarely delivered these days in r/RedditAlternatives. I wonder if people are simply tired of the subject and now just tune it out like noise. If so, then we missed a major opportunity to offer a true alternative to Reddit. Hopefully there will be more, and I am not suggesting to give up, only trying to highlight a major issue of concern so that we can move forward.
Chiefly imho, by recommending PieFed rather than Lemmy instances (and strongly preferably one that defederates from hexbear).
You regularly post threads you comment on to YPTB's chatroom so others get involved. YPTB and other such Tankie places also regularly use alts, and as soon as you posted the thread, a few alt accounts popped up arguing with Tankie talking points. That's brigading, and I'm not going to allow it in my community.
Trying to prove you don't brigade by posting to a brigade community is certainly a move. Why should I unban you when you continue to manipulate threads and engage in snark communities?
If you're on that chatroom, you very much know why fxomt got so stressed
i wonder why fxomt was so stressed
It was because of you, that was said a few weeks ago. That's the bad faith I'm referring to.
Regarding everything you screened, I stand by all of it. Also, linking a thread to a room with 10 active people is not bridaging, otherwise this link at the bottom of the post should be brigading too: lazysoci.al/post/40725899?scro…
Now I'll stop here as this is not the place to discuss this. We can have a thread on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want.
I'm banned from YPTB and the chatroom, and so are most MWoG users. That's because dbzer0 is a tankie instance and YPTB is a tankie community that protects said tankies.
If you stand by all of it, don't complain about your ban, since if you stand by all of it, you know you were brigading, and you know that's against the rules of my community. You're proving my point by threatening to create YPTB threads. You're proving my point by actively linking this comment chain to the chatroom.
Or do you think your ban was unjust and you should be unbanned?
Why should I bother to engage in any conversation with you when you've proven in these very replies that you brigade and get others to dogpile with you? Why do you insist on having a thread instead of just DMing me? Not that I want you to.
Tell you what: if you're actually earnest and acting in good faith about this, you should call off the dogpile and ask for peace between the communities. But I doubt it.
MwoG and !Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net have every right to exist, just like 4chan, just like NSFW content, just like bots - my beef has always been that they should all be labeled. Properly labeled NSFW can be blurred, filtered out, now a new feature on PieFed allows it to be specifically searched for even, bots likewise can be blured, filtered out, or at least you see a visual indicator that replying to it will not yield a conversation.
In fairness to CTH, the community sidebar does accurately describe what it does. Unfortunately, Lemmy's UX workflow does not show the sidebar text when browsing by All, and some apps seem to go very very very much out of their way to hide every sidebar - burying it behind 5+ clicks and also a deep scroll required. For someone who already knows what CTP is all about that's perfectly fine - you only need such text once, or perhaps in communities like YPTB rarely (for the acronyms) - but for a newbie to stumble across CTP unawares can be... well... devastating, quite frankly.
So I do not begrudge its existence, only it being so readily accessible the same as any other community, even though it is NOT just like any normal community. But, like a bot, like NSFW, if someone wanted to opt-in to it, that should be their decision. i.e. by making an account on an instance that federates with hexbear and joining that community.
Separately, but not unrelated, hexbears are known trolls. It's fine to troll in the community specifically created for trolling, but to do it all across the entire Threadiverse, especially in flagrant violation of the rules for other communities... that's not ideal. Hexbear should be defederated from because Hexbear consistently violates the rules that others set for themselves, and because consent should matter.
But if a space like PieFed.zip wants to federate with hexbear... that's its business, fine. Though WITH NO LABEL on CTP, I strongly think that it makes that instance less "Newbie-friendly". Wouldn't an instance that does not label bots or NSFW be the same? Also, note that PieFed currently has no capability (iirc?) to label all users from an instance. So when someone comes over from Reddit, makes let's say a comment in an innocuous community such as memes@lemmy.world, and gets trolled by a hexbear user, and then again by other users in other communities, over and over and over and over again, why should we be surprised when they nope right back to Reddit?
Perhaps goat should have a label as well. Perhaps I should myself? I agree that I write long messages, so if I had a label that said "writes long messages", why should I even be offended? It would help warn people away, if they did not want to receive such? Though for others of us, that's what we came here for - not just a hundred or so characters that would fit within Twitter's old restrictions, but LONG-form content, chock full of facts and detailed analyses - I change my opinions over time in response to such, when presented with such details and logic (e.g. I used to argue that while hexbear was a troll instance that lemmy.ml was not, though I now have a much more nuanced take on the subject). Choice is a beautiful thing 😀.
So I am not opposed in the least to someone seeing CTP, I am slightly more opposed to federating the hexbear instance (but whatever, to each their own), and what I am mainly opposed to is that Newbies in particular can be exposed to hexbear's trolling even/especially outside of their communities without any kind of warning whatsoever - as if their trolling was the same type as any other content here. Their trolling is their decision, while our decisions to allow their trolling is on us, and all the more so to validate it when a label could be applied but we choose not to. Which makes us a Nazi bar - not that we are Nazis ourselves (or in this case, we are not hexbear trolls), but if we accept them here as if they were any other user, with zero distinction between them and us, then that makes us only one step removed from them. Especially in the eyes of someone noping out of our content because we look superficially similar to them.
We cannot force others to join here, only become as enticing as possible so that if they don't join us, that's their loss:-).
Ah, searching is super difficult on Bluesky but I finally managed to find something relevant using Google and the site: function. Here is what it had to say in bsky.app/profile/lagotrasimeno…
New here Just exploring some alternatives to the always more nazi-like policies and TOS of Reddit and X. So far I've tried Mastodon (which is dead btw) and Lemmy, the so-called best alternative to Reddit whose community is even more toxic than the original. This seems pretty chill 🤷 maybe too much?
(Bold emphasis added)
I am not trying to be negative, at least not for its own sake. This is legitimately what I see that people are saying about us here. Certainly not all of them to be fair - some people on other platforms love us here - but from the perspective of diagnosing why are many people leaving, and what do they say about us when they do, this is the top #1 cited reason that I have seen: our toxicity. And I cannot think of any better example of that than hexbear.net, which is why I am such a fan of either outright defederation if that is the only option, or at least making that instance opt-in rather than force it to be opt-out, which apparently seems to cause many people to flee us and go either back to Reddit or to Bluesky or whatever, hence opting out of the entire Threadiverse. Basically: either hexbear goes, or the newbie users do. And even that is only a start to reducing our overall toxicity level as presented to newbie users, though PieFed at least has several wonderful tools to help with that built-in already:-).
That is a superb idea. Plus PieFed.social defederates from hexbear, so there's no chance of them accidentally wandering into let's say !Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net and get dunked on without understanding why. That community has a right to exist, but it most definitely should be properly labelled so that users are forewarned - unlike how Lemmy handles it where you can get into a post via All without ever once seeing its sidebar text.
Is it not both though? I've noticed several users that joined here only recently - mere days or a few weeks or months - so are we not observing both users leaving and also new ones joining? Although this graph only shows the net traffic differences, so is insufficient to make claims beyond that. You could theoretically make a different one, overlaying the new subscriber numbers on top of this, that could disambiguate those two effects (people leaving vs. new ones joining)?
My problem right now is I'm on Fedia.io and I'm liking the interface, but more and more, what used to be other instances popping up in my feed, are disappearing, and I feel like I'm missing 1/2 the content that lemmy has to offer.
Mlem (iOS) doesn’t exactly consolidate comments across crossposts, but it does list, at the top, all of the crossposts, how many upvotes/comments each one has, and links directly to them. It also works across Lemmy, piefed, and Mbin accounts/instances.
It is nice. I would like a way for Mlem to integrate it, but their current solution is still pretty elegant in an of itself, especially because it does not rely on piefed for its functionality. everyone gets this.
In the repost on the Chile community, also saw one or other comment about Lemmy being toxic. I do notice a certain "toxicity", though from certain corners and which seems to stems more often from what I call "misery posting", which would be posts whose main focus seems to be to make the given topic appear like a lost cause to the reader (even some "meme" communities seem to fall on this).
Since some communities seem specially prone for such posts, I second blocking those as you notice the patterns to try to make your feed healthier, and to hopefully make such places shrink into a healthier size. Or at least, if you got the patience and resistance to mass downvoting and mobbing, to post in those communities and within their rules what to you is positive. Alternatively/Parallel to that, one could make sure to react accordingly to posts, instead of uninterestedly hide everything in feed as the user scrolls.
Otherwise, a given environment shrinking or tanking in growth could also mean people that use it are growing apathetic or anomic to popularizing it, to which I repeat my suggestion in the Chile community, change starts by small steps. So for example, if someone is on a platform compatible by extension but without an ActivityPub bridge or function active (e.g. Threads and Bluesky), to explain to them they could activate it, and e.g. Fedi Brdigy is working on Lemmy compatibility, so more potential users going around. Also, if you see a funny meme or the sort, you could share the link, provided it has a decent blurb preview on the platform to be sent.
Also spikes happen anywhere when competing platforms have issues, so current retention might just be its natural one.
And even on a Lemmy account I have (thus little noise from microblogging) and while highly curating my feeds there, the amount of posts is almost too much for me to be able to go through. So by observation, the "threadiverse" as a whole seems rather healthy in numbers.
People seem to still be posting to them though? Like Lady Butterfly made 6 posts to the latter one just today alone. And much of that content does not look to be reposted anywhere else, like this post in the former community:
You might want to shut those old ones down then if people are not supposed to be using them anymore?
Excellent points. Perhaps Lady Butterfly might want to help redirect traffic from the old to the new. Like the note in the sidebar helps greatly for discovery, though some content did not look to me like it was cross-posted and instead submitted exclusively to the old communities, so at first glance it does look like it's remaining alive. But fair point that it doesn't need to be "promoted"😀.
I don't know what the number is, but I'll arbitrarily say, anywhere under a quarter million is perfect.
I know the federation model provides a strength against the cascading list negatives that plague popular platforms, but I don't doubt that with a large enough user base, exploits would certainly seep in, particularly with ease of AI bot manipulation and astroturfing.
It reminds me of the Linux saying "security through obscurity".
Reddit has so much more content and frankly 80% of their real non-bot userbase seem to be ok. Wouldn't hurt at all to get like 10% of the best of them here. That'd be about 5 million people.
Ok, now that I think about it, 70k => 5M would probably hurt the servers a bit.
Let's go for the top 1%, we all love the top 1% right?
I would love to make a "treadiverse" combo line. Cause its hard to look at when piefed is slowly going up, lemmy is slowly going down, and m/k bin is going all over.
EDIT: Never mind, found it. Theres an icon on the right hand side.
That is exactly what happened. piefed.fediverse.observer/stat… shows for instance that the numbers spiked from 352 MAUs (monthly active users) in May 2025 to >1k in June, then again to >1.6k in July, where it has mostly stabilized and we are currently at ~2.0k (half of that on piefed.social itself, half distributed across other instances, see list at piefed.fediverse.observer/list… click Active Users a couple times to sort that descending).
PieFed.social alone has 964 MAUs, now making it larger than such well-known instances as programming.dev, discuss.tchncs.de, lemmygrad.ml, sopuli.xyz, slrpnk.net (which announced a decision to migrate over to PieFed by the end of 2026).
Below PieFed.social, most instances have only a hundred or so users, but this too is a sign of healthy federation where many new instances keep spinning up - exactly like Lemmy where e.g. startrek.website has 152 MAUs, ttrpg.network has 127, ani.social has 172, mander.xyz has 196, and so on. Over a thousand users distributed across many instances is much healthier than all of them on a single one.
Note that most 3rd party apps haven't caught up to the PieFed software's latest API changes, so e.g. users of Voyager are mostly getting the same experience on a PieFed instance as they would have on a Lemmy one (iirc no polls, user or post flairs, categories of communities aka Topics and Feeds, etc.) - except even there, back-end changes can still be very impactful to the user experience (such as the ability of a mod to move a post from one community to another, or the ability of an end-user to block all users from a specific instance without needing admin approval to perform defederation).
No, they just don't have the same principles as us. I love Lemmy, but it doesn't have the same level of smaller active communities. There is more work for us to do.
Updoot to that! When I am checking for technical solutions or suggestions on the internet, Lemmy has barely any info while Reddit very often has the answer I need. But when it comes to "your typical social media site", Reddit sucks donkey balls in that while Lemmy gives me nice small community vibes. Reddit is still good as long as you dont step into mainstream subs shit.
Personally I still relate to the other graph. Lemmy posts can sometimes be much too focused on negative things, so I sometimes take pretty long breaks before coming back when it gets too depressing.
need to include places like piefed and mbin in this too; reddit is just reddit but here you can be either lemmy, piefed, or mbin and talk to one another.
hopefully more rain later
