It’s much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz, !biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there’s always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz

You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what’s known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won’t be “synced” and you won’t see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what’s known as the “modlog”

Obligatory, fuck Spez

    Ok first l’m sorry for some of the comment I’ve made that were childish. I actually do value the fact you’re posting a lot as without people like you this place would be dead. I think people need to see opposing point of view to grow on the contrary echo chamber make you stagnate on your own auto satisfaction circle. And it is not like if you give to read Lemmy.ml to an American he will suddenly become pro russia or china that not how it works. So I do not like at all the push you are making for people to block lemmy.ml and such communities because I think it is a really bad move

      Thanks, fair disclosure, a decent chunk is crossposted material, but a much larger chunk is my own stuff I’ve come across or made

      I think people need to see opposing point of view to grow on the contrary echo chamber make you stagnate on your own auto satisfaction circle. And it is not like if you give to read Lemmy.ml to an American he will suddenly become pro russia or china that not how it works.

      The problem isn’t an opposing view, actually, there are quite a few points that I fully support. Like being able to see capitalism fall in my lifetime, id love to see that happen

      The problem is the authoritarian propaganda that’s being pushed, authoritarianism is authoritarianism and wrong regardless of whether it’s from the left or the right. Fuck the US authoritarianism and fuck Russia/CCP authoritarianism

      So I do not like at all the push you are making for people to block lemmy.ml and such communities because I think it is a really bad move

      I ask people to do so, based on the evidence I’ve collected, they’re free to review that evidence to make an informed decision nothing more

        Even crossposted post have value as it is sharing information, creating activity and add to the discussion by commenting and sharing.

        Regarding the autoritarism it does exists but when self reflecting about autoritarism being in the roots of all Europe and US via 400 year of colonisation and conquest, and curent events not making the self labelled 'Free word’s looks so good,I think it might be a good idea to tone down a bit on the critiscism of others and focus on what can be done in your place make actual tangible progress :)

          Never said it did, most of the world’s governments are crap. Most of the world’s governments have done really evil shit. From the US to the CCP to Russia to Japan to the UK. Western or eastern, northern or southern, doesn’t matter.

          I am doing what I can to make progress, pushing back against toxic propaganda in my nearest communities (online and offline).

      He is not posting a lot, he is re-posting a lot of lemmy.ml content in the hopes of drawing people away from lemmy.ml communities.
