Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

    Yep. Like there’s a good point there from a software standpoint and whether this measure makes sense once the user base and spread of instances and cultures goes past a threshold (especially on the language barrier, but not as persuasively as they think I suspect given the grassroots origin of the software). It’s probably at, past or near that threshold now, but similarly with the point at which friendly forks make sense.

    But, “lets just resist racism as much as possible even with weird software kludges” being a problematic “ideology” that undercuts any claim to fostering diversity? … LMFAO!

    Maybe put the software freedom and free-speech flags down for a second, look around and touch some grass.
