Randomly found this on Reddit

Having them pointed towards lemmy.ml is a little concerning.

i left yesterday after 12 years. joined lemmy. the internet was a lot cooler before it was run by billionaires and ass kissers who are intimidated by billionaires.

fuck em all

So nice that radical activism only requires I switch apps 🥳

runs from censorship

goes to Lemmy.ml

I think that kind of defeats your point here

Imagine running from censorship and going to Lemmy.ml lmao

They should really include the no ads thing. I think it's a great selling point, and it would be useful to leverage.

While I agree with the message, that the people should leave all centralized Social Media services, the big mistake here is concentrating a massive user-base on one instance (.ml) of one specific service (Lemmy) instead of spreading the influx towards many smaller, but still solid instances and federated services (PieFed, Mastodon, MBin).

Even disregarding .ml's reputation, if this post does reach a substantial user-base, the only thing happening then is .ml receiving a HoD and people losing faith in the Fediverse as a whole (e: spelling) due to this, sadly. :c

It's a little bit dramatic, it's a little bit wordy.
Yup, it probably is a genuine thing from the source: certainly, it was written by a redditor.

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

I saw it being denounced as a psyop which I thought was funny, since I think it pretty clearly isn't one. But directing people to lemmy.ml is bad advice as most of us know.

revolutions are born in monents like these

Holy shit can this whole thing be any more corny? Is this done by teenagers? Don’t get me wrong fuck Musk/reddit/etc. but what is even the outrage about this time?

I love it, but I fear for the day Lemmy becomes so popular that it is worthwhile for the corporate bots to begin gaming Lemmy’s algorithm to dominate front pages. I don’t think Lemmy is prepared to defend against this.

.ml? hope they know.

ITT: reddit 2.0 normies (read .world) crying about .ml again

Haha who the hell made this? This reads like a basement dwellers wet dream. "fight the man! Fight the machine!.....from our keyboards!"

where every user is a revolutionary

Ahem. Cosplays as a revolutionary.

Aside from other concerns, I find the association with Brexit to be less than ideal. But people should also note that this was posted on r/anarchocommunism so it makes sense they recommended lemmy.ml

Overall it's fine, we are still at the stage where just getting people to hear about the existence of Lemmy is a big win. They may join and leave, they may just navigate to the page and not join, but now they are aware of it and may eventually decide to join in the future when reddit fucks up again.

That's some grade A fine vintage gourmet cringe.

You lost me at the tankie instance link.

I hope lemmy.ml is ready for the influx, particularly as this post linked them directly.

here we go bois

Here's the thing. A platform is it's users. 2 years ago Lemmy rocked. Now the Redditors are arriving and it's turning into a literal Reddit clone. Open the front page 2 years ago and it was all kinds of exciting and novel stuff. Now it's Trump bad, nazi bad, fascism bad, racism bad, homophobia bad, musk moron, celebrity dead.

edit: Proof received via downvotes. Oldhead Lemmy users know I'm right. Welcome, jackasses, I guess.

I guess we can expect the amount of time it spends up to be counted in minutes..

Should've point to .world

Isn't that one the most popular of the lemmy instances?

EDIT: this is mostly so the newcomer finds plenty content to not leave after a few minutes of browsing.

Xit

Surprised it wasn’t banned quickly

Lemmy mods delete posts and threads too. Interesting choice to use the Lemmy.ml instance in this message. Coincidentally they just deleted one of my threads in asklemmy recently.

Oh, for fucks sake.
