  • I dunno about the code. But, they’re definitely pushing their agenda here on Lemmy.

    As far as I’m concerned, it’s the only true negative aspect of Lemmy that I’ve noticed since I joined.

    Everything here is pretty good. The users are mostly cool. Content is not high in quantity, yet, but it’s decent quality.

    Lemmy has one real, true problem, tankies. They’re dishonest, they manipulate content, they brigade posts, they’re a cancer. They have no home in legitimate link aggregation.

    If it is true that they “built” Lemmy, it was only to get away from everyone who shunned them and forced them to find a safe place. And now they’re mad that people who aren’t deranged lunatics arrived in their safe place.


  • Okay. Finally, after a month here, I’ll bite.

    Who said it was built by tankies? I’m not saying it wasn’t. But, afaik, ActivityPub was developed by W3C.

    Are they tankies? They don’t strike me as tankies, but I’ve been wrong before. People keep saying the Fediverse was built by tankies, and I guess I’m missing some history, because as far as I can tell, there may have been some tankies, but it doesn’t seem built by tankies.

    Even now, Lemmygrad is small. They’re annoying as fuck. And they’re pervasive on Lemmy. But, it’s not like there’s a lot of them.

    So, if anyone feels like bringing me up to speed on the history of the Fediverse, I’m extremely eager to learn.

    I’m more annoyed they’re intermingled. The small userbase here isn’t posting enough to fill a feed, but the bots do make things weird.

    If you’re in a news community, politics, tech space, etc. it can be pretty annoying to have both bots and users posting. Maybe if it was a news community that was only bots or no bots, that would be an improvement.



  • I personally agree with this list. But, we have to be pragmatic here. This is what CNBC says they did:

    “The study measures quality of life issues including crime, health care, childcare and health care, as well as inclusive policies on discrimination and reproductive rights.”

    See, the last two skew this study. People in these shit hole states (not all, but at least enough of the voting public) don’t want inclusive policies or reproductive rights. So, to them, this metric is backwards. They would argue that living in California or New York was way more terrible because of the brown people and gays.

    This isn’t exactly a scientific study. It’s taking objective data to reach a subjective conclusion. Neat headline though.

    Edit: many if them are arguing exactly that in this thread. With a nice dose of racism and misogyny thrown in. Nice. I love when shit comes full circle.
