With spez ascending the last few remaining levels of becoming an absolute wanker, it’s about time I got more active and I have been wondering how should I be using Lemmy efficiently? Like many I migrated from Reddit and I was primarly using Apollo to browse through my subscribed subreddits.
Over here on Lemmy.one, I have subscribed to communities and I scroll through my feed by sorting “All > Top Day” because sorting “All > Hot” means I end up seeing the same threads.
Then earlier today I discovered https://beehaw.org/communities where I found many communities I would love to subscribe to but then I got confused because I am also subscribed to more or less similar communities on lemmy.one.
I think I am sort of struggling to wrap my head around how lemmy really works and where I should be hanging out. It was easier on reddit in the sense that if I wanted to go LOTRmemes, there was only subreddit but here on Lemmy, there seem to be multiple instances of the same community :D
To top it off, it is proving hard to login to beehaw [probably the server is under stress] with the same details I use to login into Lemmy.one.
Not to forget there’s also Kbin which I haven’t even begun exploring. Phew.
ps - my apologies if I am sounding slightly incoherent as this is all new to me. If there is anyone out there who has this all figured out, I’d appreciate any help here.
if https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835073659101524 is the post you’re referring to, I’m not impressed
the devs haven’t actually said anything - they just didn’t ban someone who was sharing those beliefs
is that what you want? anyone who says anything controversial about sensitive topics gets banned and silenced? wrong or right, I don’t think someone should be banned unless they are explictly advocating for genocide (ie dictator xyz should have finished the job) or using hate speech (ie people from race xyz are a bunch of dumb dirty **** )
beyond that, people should be allowed to share controversial opinions and the community will correct said person and by doing that 3rd party readers have the chance to be educated. this automatic response to cancel and ban just isn’t conducive. we need to stick together at this point - we’re in a fight for the future of the internet
