World was already the biggest by far when I first started lurking back in July, and it’s just getting more dominant. Before, there was quite some diversity in the distribution of generic communities, but nowadays the vast majority of posts that reach the top are from over there.
I really can’t see any specific virtue that it has; uptime is not the best (or so I’ve heard), the moderation is quite lacking (which is demonstrated by the fact that Beehaw defederated them), they make some unpopular moderation choices (like blocking [email protected]), and overall the atmosphere is a lot less… nice than those of smaller instances.
I also feel like it goes against the idea of the Fediverse that one instance has control over most of the platform. Especially on Lemmy, where communities mean that building community within an instance makes so much more sense than elsewhere, and upvotes are federated near perfectly regardless the size of your instance, decentralisation makes a lot of sense. It really just doesn’t make sense to me that Lemmy World is where people are going.
They promised to be the exact same kind of nazi bar that reddit was, and they succeeded. I personally like they soaked up all the reactionaries running away from reddit because their CEO is… jewish, or whatever they came up with. Keeps em off reddit and more importantly off here.
Yeah this tracks
Mfers escape a capitalist platform falling under its own contradictions only to surprise-pikachu face when people actually have left views.
Honestly lemmy developers need to charge people to use their platform if they’re just going to use it to be anticommunist. They’re never going to do it because it goes against their values, but it would be cathartic as fuck if they did, and you mfers would pay up, too.
You’ve forgotten what left means and have zero clue how projects like Lemmy work, if you’re going to be angry at someone who didn’t really say anything to you at least do it with some self respect.
Nah respectability politics are for nazis. I’m not going to hold back on the facts just to make people feel comfortable.
