Feel like you have something to post, but it's not really relevant to any of the current communities, and you don't feel like it's worth making an entirely new community just to post it? This is the place for that.

Just wanted a warning, Lemmy.World is perhaps worse than reddit at respecting their users - Reddit Migration - kbin.social (kbin.social)

Reminder that centralization is bad and anyone who thinks this arrangement where a big power player like this can control discourse and whether or not an instance basically dies likely has an affliction to where boots taste good.

It makes me sad since i loved to think that lemmy could be a smaller more compact community alternative to reddit but honestly its really not.

functionally, it is. we're having this convo across two different servers already. it's just that the early adopters are kinda assholes to people like us. it appears that the fediverse will end up divided into groups along ideological battle lines, and that unless you're a single user instance self-admin you'll want 2 or 3 accounts to get the full picture. on the other hand, it means we have less immediate visibility to haters and presumptivly therefore less harassment than someplace like twitter, where people who hate each other share one big box (tell me again why we ever thought that was a good idea?)

in other words, "fuck the haters I'ma go to an instance that respects me" is the correct response and we'll continue on without their help
