Connect has blocking communities and hiding threads which is fantastic. I'm waiting for something better, but I need to be able to block the massive amount of futa/hentai/ai porn communities on here.
I personally prefer the two devices. Keeps my work live separate from my personal life.
I am also interested in hearing about the fallout from the exodus.
If you aren't interested, you can block the thread.
You believe what you want to. Nothing I say is going to convince you, random internet person.
I had used reddit since the near beginning, and over time the prevalence of 'alternative facts' and other right-wing narratives has risen sharply. You also have communities like r/conservative that participate in open calls to violence and perpetuate right wing dogwhistles for maximum rage bait. The sheer slide of r/politicalcompassmemes going from people role-playing different ideologies to thinly-veiled alt-right propaganda speaks to this shift.
Catering to conservatives and right wing players results in the enshittification of the website.
Allowing racists and fascists a seat at the table under the guise of 'fairness' or 'free speech'. Reddit became polluted with far-right astroturfing in the last six years.
It is not tolerance to welcome those persons who seek to harm you.
It's not 'Lemmy users'. It's normal people.
Normal people hate Andrew Tate like any other con-man and charlatan. The fans of Tate are pathetic little boys looking for a shortcut through life, and Tate says you can get that bag by disrespecting others and ultimately treating half the population as property.
Normal folk hate scum, and Tate is scum.
When my nerve pain rose to the point that I lost the use of my leg, I invested in a shower chair.
Now that I'm rehabilitated, I still use the shower chair because it's absolutely delightful to just chill with good posture in the warm shower.
Anyone have a solid how-to for the layman to host their own lemmy instance? I heard it improves browsing a lot.
Seriously. They expect 30% growth? They can afford a few salaries.
I signed up through vlemmy, idk if that means anything significant though since I'm able to subscribe to whatever.
So far the lemmy apps have been superior scrolling to the official reddit app.
How funny
Tysm, blocking communities and threads has been crucial thanks to Connect
