Does the Fediverse give you hope?
-
Frankly, it’s stressing me out. The non-stop barrage of Trump, Musk and other bullshit is just a bit too much on here. I get how the platform in generally is very left leaning, but it really does feel like the sky is falling every five minutes, you know?
-
I'm just glad to be part of a community that seems to have some shread of human decency left. That's not all too common here in the States these days.
-
Honestly, it's just a matter of time before they make more Luigis snap. Hopefully they'll be an organized way to oust them all before the guillotines and the dining sets start coming out.

Reddit is more diverse. The same kind of cynicism exists there too but it's dilluted by all the other content so it's easier to ignore. Here that is less the case as majority of the content is news articles.
It depends how you use these platforms. On reddit, I go to a few somewhat niche subs (via a direct bookmark link) so I don't see any content outside of those specific niches.
On lemmy, I use this account for news/global politics, but I also have an alt where I only access content from subscribed communities and there is minimal politics.

The Fediverse is a sewer of antisemitism, and antisemitic censorship
How so? And what do you define as "antisemitism" and "antisemitic censorship"?
-
It's not just Lemmy. I was thinking more like Mastodon. Tbh I haven't tried frendica, but I haven't heard of anyone actually using it.
At least pixelfed defaults you to the main instance so you don't have to think about it if you don't want to. Although the official android app hasn't worked for me in ages.

Lemmy, the Fediverse, and open source in general too. Every time bullshit happens I find myself more and more replacing closed systems with community-developed and community-run systems. It’s not only the giving back/contributing/being part, and the openness, it’s also that this cannot be taken away so easily. Taken by buying the company, a software update, agreement change or the fact that someday you may not be able to pay your monthly fee and loose access to all your stuff.

No, the Fediverse is full of conservatives. The technology is great, but the people here suck.

As drag said, the technology is great. Drag believes in the mission of the Fediverse. It's just that a lot of it is infested with power mods and transphobes. If we could get rid of that sort of person, this space would be much better, wouldn't you agree?

If I were surrounded by a bunch of people I thought were horrible, I would leave. I hear there are other Fediverse servers out there.
If you're into masochism, you should really get people's consent first.

If it's true that you avoid people you don't like, then perhaps drag was wrong to think you didn't like drag. Drag has in the past advised you to block drag, and it seems you've decided not to. Drag is flattered. Perhaps you've decided to respect the "they" part of your child's she/they pronouns. If so, you're very welcome for the push. Drag has always believed that hearing the experiences of trans people makes others more likely to respect differences in gender presentation.

Cool, you didn't actually read what I wrote in an effort to make a very poor attempt at a witty retort.

I know you have a lot of sockpuppets, but you're just one person.

Yes. But I'm worried about Big Tech hijacking ActuvityPub and that they enforce the end of net neutrality. EU regulations and investments is our only hope right now.

Well it's only fair, since drag asked if you'd like power mods and transphobes to be removed from Lemmy, and you didn't answer.

You saying something stupid in order to get a witty retort has nothing to do with fairness, and I am no more obligated to answer your questions than you are obligated to stay on Lemmy.world just because you like the technology. Because, again, there are plenty of servers.
But you've loved trolling, especially the queer community here, since you were doing the Attack Helicopter thing, so why would you leave?

Hope ?
Maybe, maybe not -
What's wrong with being the next Reddit
-
No thank you. I'm not going to waste my time to try and find your made up definition of censorship.
