I haven't checked it out yet but "loops" is supposed to be that

raises hand from a popular and politically agnostic instance

Just out of curiosity, what's your solution?

(Putting aside that what you describe is still far more room for ban evasion than non-fediverse platforms.)

Fediverse: extremely USA-centric, extremely left and queer. Dissent is punished as hard as posting Winnie Pooh on TikTok.

Sigh. And this is exactly why I said people need to learn how these protocols work.

I don't understand it at all. I find it infuriating. I need long videos to play in the background while I work. I can't get anything done with this short crap. Maybe that's the point..

Basically, decentralize the back-end independently of the front-end, eliminate admins altogether, mods still exist but they only have power on their communities, they don't have site wide power.

I believe Pixelfed Loops is the only one currently, it's actually not half bad, apart from how barebones and stuttery the app is, which isn't a big deal since the issues are only occasional.

Dude. The Russian propaganda flows freely around here.

[email protected]

Even for people, who are not Leninist/Stalinist or similar, it is noticeable.

From my perspective (being not from the US) us-american arrogance is very present on lemmy.

We got https://loops.video/ right?

[email protected]

Both, but there was definitely blatant astroturfing after Biden withdrew and Kamala became the nominee.

[email protected]

My god, where will the centrists turn to without lemmy

[email protected]

That's so sad. Anyway

Downvotes hurt, I get it. But remember, it's only an attempt to remind you you're an asshole. It's up to you whether you believe them or not.

I see a lot of Chinese propaganda as well

[email protected]

That wouldn't work that well, especially when you take law into regard. For example, the european Digital Services Act regulates platforms and platforms have to respond to obligations, sometimes deleting content. Communities are not platforms, instances are. Ergo, you need instance admins be able to comply and respond to the DSA.

I think we just have a surprising amount of political staffers in Lemmy. The bulk does seem to be wealthy people living in suburbs. Look at how the biggest groups are people self hosting thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment.

And Russian and North Korea for some reason

You don't have to interact with .ml instances, you know?
