It’s possible but reddit isn’t the only one looking for engagement, so are individual users. If a site has more users, it has more engagement and content. It is also not impossible to drop the lemmy name when you do go back there to make people aware of the alternative.
And moving to a different, more decentralized shithole?
Lemmy has the same power tripping admins and mods, just more of them and each with a new and unique bias. You don’t hate AI? Ban. You acknowledge certain genocide? Ban. You made fun of my typo? Ban.
Unlike the reddit, you can always make your own instance and host your own communities and nobody will ever ban you. That’s the whole point of being distributed.
Again, the point is that nobody can ever stop you from running a community as you see fit, unlike reddit, which easily ban you and your community for any or no reason. And if your community is run well and the other has indeed power-trippin mods, the people will come to yours, as has happened multiple times before. So no, it’s not the same shithole, unless you make one.
Wrong instance I guess. Yeah, Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad and hexbear are toxic as hell, but there are really nice instances out there. I chose dbzer0 and it’s great here. We also have many interesting threads about locally hosted FOSS AI. db0 himself is quite involved in this topic, he’s the initial author of things like AI Horde. Basically everyone on db0 I’ve seen acknowledges the active genocide that’s being conducted by the Israeli fascist government. Other topics on the instance are anarchism and of course piracy.
As a user from @programming.dev you should know the importance of documentation, and the log being easy to read should help the users to fight it themselves.
As in by making their own communities/instances as needed
As if finding the log takes more than a few seconds, took me like half a minute looking for it for the first time when i wanted to check a users deleted comment history.
Oh excuse me, i merely thought from your other comment that you actually cared about user participation, as opposed to passive content consumption, silly me.
I left and joined Lemmy. After a couple of months of being flooded by politics in /c/memes, actually it’s everywhere, and very little new content I started going back. Now I doomscroll both. I usually head to reddit after a couple of posts which portray me as a fascist because I’m not a Marxist.
You know what’s not impossible? Leaving that shit hole and never coming back.

Same as subreddits. The problem is most communities are on .lm and .world, and already established.

Public modlogs and federation help fight this.
Helps document this, does little to fight it.

As a user of programming.dev I know that 99% of users don’t read the documentation and just go for whatever is easiest / less effort.

Good for you, that’s probably the most important feature for the average redditor, not content relevant to them…

My thought exactly. They can always do like me and nope the fuck out of there.

Yeah I’m thinking about leaving Lemmy. Not sure where to go but this place does not have diversity of thought or dialog.
