You’re right, MrGG asked if it was Insurrection and I based my reply off the other gif right below it, wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out. Live long and prosper
Reddit is so censored it’s pointless. Almost all the comments seem like they’re written by bots or gov guys with square haircuts who think this is what “those nerds” talk like
Bots are the ones running the show here too though.
Is this about hexbear and lemmygrad? These accusations have never made sense to me. They have been here long before it became popular and they had the same opinions back then. It makes no sense and is a waste of resources to have bunch of bots posting stuff when there is no one to read those posts.
Commenting there seems to be like yelling into a giant void with everyone on the planet, here it feels like screaming into a smaller void with few other people who seem to be super cool.
I also just joined in the past month. You’re welcome
I did because I was on a different Fediverse link-aggregating forum that was pretty quiet and getting quieter, and all the communities and threads I saw over there came from this instance. It just made sense to join directly so I could post and get proper notifications.
The supernova from Rexxit sent a lot of small pieces flying out everywhere, but things will start to aggregate back down to a few winners over time. I went to Squabbles, Kbin.social, and then Discuit… but now I’m just here and Discuit. I like Discuit’s look and feel and users, but it’s not super active.
Honestly, it’s not surprising. They seem very ban-happy there lately, with accounts getting banned over nothing. And I’ve seen a fair few subs getting the axe as well. When a site gets actively hostile to users and lets mods run their own little dictatorships, people eventually get fed up with it.
Lemmy isn’t Reddit, but at least it’s… also not Reddit :D
A large number of subs were forceful reopened, and the mods replaced with trash people who just wanted to have mod powers. The purge of people who gave a fuck, is done. I’m starting to see posts and news show up here on Lemmy before reddit. Which kinda makes sense, all the most active posters were forced out or quit and moved here.
Modlog is a joke, nobody ever puts a reason. You just get hammered if a mod disagree with you. It’s ridiculous, it’s even worse than reddit system, at least you can appeal your ban there
What I noticed is the server I used to login to disappeared all of a sudden so I guess all the users who were on that server couldn’t login and leaving. Same is happening across fediverse.
Was it FMHY? Some instances that were created during the Reddit blackout went down to technical or logistical issues and decided to operate under other instances
Can confirm, I made an instance around the time that the blackout started - unfortunately the hardware it was running on was starting to experience some issues. It’s still up and running, but for now I’ve made a fresh new instance on way better hardware - and this time without a subdomain 😅
dev’d an online course web app and website for a community college. users/activity was very cyclic. could see the hits going up every Sunday night as students tried to catch up before Monday class. usage normally dropped around weekends/holidays. maybe similar surges depending on time of day.
Recently it seems like the Fediverse is a lot more quiet than before. Even in the tech and privacy communities I follow things have been rather slow lately.
