Lemmy? the politics.

the fediverse? I know I’ve said this like a billion times to the same five people who come on here, but federated platforms still ape the format of big social media platforms, and inherit many of their pitfalls. I want long-term discussion and human connection, not an endless waterfall of content that quickly gets swept away.

The thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are “hosting” the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.

North Korea shill. Seriously. How absolutely dumbfuck do you have to be to actually believe there is even the slightest good in that regime? It hurts me personally that I’m Korean and that I’ve seen countless people, some I’ve met in person, who lost their families in that hellhole. And yet people who can’t even spell Kim Jong Un or Juche are celebrating that prison of a kingdom.

Nothing about them are “left” or “progressive”. To me, they’re worse than MAGA shitheads.

Absolutely disgusting. Hope they all rot in North Korea.

The lack of people. We need more people on the Fediverse.

Reddit is full of different people with different backgrounds sometimes arguing in a toxic way about politics when it’s somewhat relevant, on a centrally censored platform

Lemmy is mainly an echo chamber for nerds almost always arguing about politics in a very toxic way on a federated extremely censored platform

The instances wars.

Not enough artists posting their weird shit. Analogue Nowhere rules but i need more

Removed by mod

small user base.
while i can deal with it,it kinda sucks the userbase is small.

Lemmy doesn’t have this problem, but mastodon needs algorithms. Otherwise, discovery is more difficult and you must be around at the same time people of interest are either there or being boosted. People leave thinking it’s boring.

4 times the same post in 4 different identically named communities…
I want a global feed, communities can federate with in a sort of sub-lemmy.

There is a lot of computing and a lot of politics, but not very much else.

The total lack of concern for easy on boarding of newbies. There’s a lot of big talk about taking on social media monopolies but absolutely no interest in coordinating to actually accomplish that goal.

The extremist idiots. Entire lemmy.ml is incredibly disgusting bunch of losers.

I don’t like that it’s basically Reddit. people from Reddit came here and they act like it’s Reddit and it’s basically Reddit
