Hello! That's going to be a shitpost, move along if you don't want it.
I'm just a common new Lemmy user, I came from Reddit, but I'm not leaving Reddit, it is superior and I'm not an idiot. After a couple weeks of observation I have some thoughts to share. It is extremely non-user friendly service, for tech reasons too, but mainly because of atmosphere is very shitty, like libs vs commis. Wait what? Okay, We have 3 big instances, lemmy.ml is kinda 'official' and is good, but others two are beehaw and lemmygrad and the both are troublemakers.
Let's start with 'good' beehaw. They are so friendly and good, you start vomiting from day one. All their lies could be understood because they can not be sincere - they are just good. They also banned other troublemaker Lemmygrad, because if you are not good you are bad (dumb, but that's the rule, and rules are rules). They see everything white or black. Also they do not have both words, because black and white are bad words. Lgbt is supported and it seems like half of them are lgbt.
Lemmygrad are 'bad' communists. Yeah. At first I thought is it a meme? No, they are communists! They are extremely weird and strange, but they are mostly harmless and also very sincere community, they also have one truth about 'west is bad', but at least they don't just ban if you are not agree with them. They are supportive to lgbt too, but I could not see idiotic 'respect me, bcz I'm lgbt' things. I liked their position more.
But both of troublemakers have same problem. They barely see each other's thoughts, they both 'against' others, their ideas and beliefs. I believe both instances should be somehow silenced for healthier atmosphere. That could be fixed by itself if new users won't register there, but other normal instances.
People want the war could end, but US won't let it. What hypocrisy?
Mostly because of Lemmy spam on reddit intensified š technically it is good alternative, but it lacks content.
It is still self promotion. Lemmy is stagnated for years without user content. Sure there is a window for Lemmy now with reddit changes and you are probably not the only one promoting Lemmy. But you guys promote it where nobody need it lol.
