    Its working guys. The decentralization is working. I for one think its amazing that we’ve created these little social medias to fight like Pokémon and nobody can stop us.

      I actually don’t think the Lemmy Platform decentralization is working at all. This is evidenced by the fact that several times the tankie lemmy devs have pushed a top of the site banner to beg for donations to help run Lemmy ml, and most instance owners admit they’re not equipped to audit the code and remove it.

      I think Piefed is a superior solution for that reason.

          Not every person can handle the responsibility of the power to push any content to anyone and everyone, thus mods were born out of necessity. Without them the communities you like would be spammed with at best AI scams begging for money and at worst CSAM so as to make it unusable by the people who disagree with your community.

          However, you’re 100% able to buy your own hardware, launch your own instance, and start your own community, just as everyone else is.

        The admins should have a choice in the banner, but each Lemmy instance is also using that software for free and should, in the spirit of Floss, give back. Thats really all I’ll say about that because I’m not an admin nor am I a dev for either software.

          Nah, fuck Tankies.

          Tankies deserve $0. Tankies should have to pay the rest of us reparations for all the propaganda they try to shove down our throats.

          Tankies would convince you and everyone in the west to murder our entire families in the night if they could. They are the enemy, they hate all that is good and just in the world, all they know is war and submission.

            I chill with the bears all day and nobody says that. You seem to be extremely reactionary to that ideology and I think you should step back and look at how polarized you are. It can’t be a healthy mindset. I mean you immediately responded like this and downvoted me for saying something pretty benign from a software development angle.

    Lemmy is a lot weirder of a place when you start to realize instances are like virtual nation-states and the admin teams are ALL despotic auth-rulers with the temperaments of toddlers.

      the astronaut meme but its ‘wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?’

      lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down and remove the rationalizations, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.

      People fail to understand that exactly this is the concept of a federation. You only agree on a few things, in this case the software, everything else, however, is fully individual.

      Federation is not the solution here. The only solution that would work is peer to peer - no hosts at all, pure anarchy.

      Our admins are lovely but severely overworked. Most admin teams I’ve interacted with are kind but overladen. Some are definitely emotionally stunted but I definitely wouldn’t establish that as a rule

      PPB is “Pig Pooping on Balls.” One of hexbear’s favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.

      So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.

          I switched specifically because tankies are pissy about piefed.

          I literally wouldn’t have had any interest if not for the one two punch of the above, plus the cunty moderation antics of Dessalines et. al. on .ml.

            Piefed literally has social credit score lol. The dude in charge is a nanny who thinks the users aren’t wise enough to do their own blocking. There’s been a shit ton of drama surrounding that dork in recent weeks, and all he’s done is dig in.

              Well, the Lemmy devs have stated that their goal isn’t to design a system that scales well and it shows. Part of it is that there may be a future where there are too many new users for a mod team to handle, especially if the barrier for signing up is extremely low.

              I would engage with you on your instance, but i appear to have been banned on .ml

              I highly suspect that you will have a long leash here, and will be allowed to say just about whatever you want.

              Consider that the source of your consternation is that you do not appreciate piefed’s Tit, for .ml’s Tat.

                  I stand by every syllable.

                  But just for funzies, I will take you to task, and get you to explain with precision how “I” would be the source of the death threat, if the Russian Military sent an underperforming troll to the front line?

                  Are you suggesting that I have the power to get the Russian Military to press a troll into service?

                  If a Russian troll gets sent to fight in Ukraine, they would get a personalized drone visit.

                  Those are just facts.

                  Bruh, you yourself just had your leash yanked on .world

                  Yes. And?

                  Here are other “Threats” and “racist” and “hateful” facts that get deleted on .ml:

                  Stalin was actually a very bad man who executed a lot of Russians.

                  The net immigration/defection trend during the Cold War, was people fleeing from the Warsaw Pact, and not to the Warsaw Pact.

                  Your comments here will likely stay up here, while .ml moderation demands that Stalin be venerated, and that Putin’s Cold War revivalist bullshit is just peachy keen.

                  The designation of .ml feels inaccurate. It should be .mS for marxist Stalinist. Capital S for Stalin, and just a little m for Karl, based on the reality of how .ml actually is.

            Hexbear was a fork of Lemmy that was merged back into the main build, which sh.it.just.works runs on. You are using their cloned software for free right now. That’s obviously not their issue.

            Sometimes the Tankies claim they stand with X because X opposes Y, but then if anybody mentions all the times X stood with Y and all the times X said things they clearly don’t stand for, then they have no response but “you’ve been brainwashed by the media”.
