We're RIGHT HERE

It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.

Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That's not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?

The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it's consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.

That's the fediverse in general on the bottom, not Lemmy.

I think individual instance blocking is not as good as defederating.

However, even with my instance defederating ml, hexbear, and grad, I can still see people like you, which is kind of disappointing.

Riiight. I have an alt account on .ml (like you would know if you bothered to read linked my comment, instead of replying to only a chunk of my comment) but I am the one who don't understand that instance....suuure.

Oh I did, you mostly just regurgitated the same points. Also, I don't know why you keep going on and on about having a .ml alt. .ml is in fact federated with .world and .ee (unfortunately) so you don't need an alt to engage with them. If you're saying that you have a .ml alt so you get "treated better" over there then that's a whole problem on its own.

All of this is false. Just because there are SOME extreme users, it doesn't mean the whole instance is like that. By the same standard, when I see a Trump meme or with Confederate flags or with transphobic content, I should generalize for the whole instance too, yes?

The examples you provided further show that you didn't really went to .ml with an open mind. I am not denying those facts, but the way you described them indicate you learned nothing. There are SO many posts already there that address all those examples and how historical revisionism and propaganda helped to muddy the waters. A lot of the things we know about those historical facts (and let's be honest - we're not historians. The things we know about those events, are mostly what was told to us and what we quickly scanned on a summary) are somewhat painted in a light that makes them appear more favorable to whoever has interests in the race.

"Some" like the fact that the admins and mods are the ones who are on the more extreme end? I don't deny that .ml has "normal" users, however, it's quite clear what kind of culture the admins and mods are trying to cultivate.

Nutomic btw is the head dev and main admin of .ml. but there's no transphobia over there huh?

I've never had any issues with the mods over there. Whenever I asked questions about ANY of those facts, I've always received very calm and detailed answers to those questions. Sometimes I was happy with their replies, sometimes I was not and my mind wasn't changed.

But certainly I didn't go in calling everyone a tankie and telling them they're all just a bunch of insane users who don't understand as much as you do.

Ofc not, you're fitting in quite nicely with the "culture"

We will let them pay 25% tariff, so it is all good.

[email protected]

I'm waisting my time. You keep ignoring my replies and bringing up new unrelated topics to avoid giving actual answers.

Have it your way. Goodbye

Not as disappointing as seeing you contributing nothing to the conversation. You just replied to be mean and leave a snarky reply even though I've never interacted with you before.

But tell me more about how those other users are trolls...

Not everyone who is willing to use redbook is interested in the authoritarian gatekeeping done in the outrage farm known as lemmy.ml

You might be surprised to learn that there are plenty of leftists who aren't interested in marxist-lenninism at all

Whu, are you really criticizing op for spending time to make content???

Cirklejerking is nothing new. Dissing on the big heavily moderated instances is just a part of lemmy culture as I understand it. And its not like people on those big instances arent cirkejerking against the haters also.

Here is a mirror. Why are you making a fuss about it? You yourself are free to block any of us if that is your preferred solution.

I am not gonna block them, I am even subscribed on some spaces on it. Majority of the users are no different then elsewhere. But i do take the underlying warning seriously and try to pay extra attention to subtle propaganda (which exists on every instance).

I have read your explanation comment btw, and i am gonna be honest it makes no sense in the context of myself. The reason I personally cant relate with tankies is not because they are too left for my comfort but the exact opposite. Compared to my own anarchist ideals tankies lack qualities i deem important and exhibit propertied i recognize as fascist in nature.

If you are now thinking my opinion on what counts as fascist isnt worth any salt to you then you are close to understanding my point. We are still both a part of this community regardless and i hold no ill will against you.

I have a loops account but I have not been able to upload a video in over a month, it fails on every single attempt.

Tldr take your stupid smelly nerd code and feed me cats and people getting jump scared.

[email protected]

Sir we're all outrage farmers, it's why we (mostly) left Reddit.

[email protected]

Just like so many users do when they go in that community to ask a “gotcha” question that has been addressed thousands of times before and then cry “see? Authoritarian tankies!!” When they get banned for it.

hahaha this one is for real tho lol

"DAE commermism 100 million people? omg!"

AFAIU Lemmy sends your username, a user ID, and URI along with your message. That's pretty innocuous.

[email protected]

I mean still, Do you know of any well established fediverse based shorts sharing platforms out there? So far I think we only have reddit and twitter

[email protected]

This is it. A strong public domain benefits everyone. It is why open source software works.

[email protected]

It's way less innocuous than you think.

But yeah, it's only the stuff that you'd expect it to send. And only the stuff it needs to send. But the thing is, the valuable data those social networks gather is almost exactly that. They will invade your privacy and get everything they can, but the real value is on that and what you read. (What you read isn't shared here.)

They want a platform that isn’t controlled by oligarchs yet they go to a platform that is controlled by the CCP, interesting

NoneOfUrBusiness

I mean the CCP isn't an oligarchy; it's an old school dictatorship.
