Hi

Hello

There's dozens of us!

16,666 dozen

Isn't the idea to decentralize?

See? Dozens of us! Dozens!

Sup

For real, do they want the Fediverse to turn into a shitshow like email?

it’s almost inevitable, no one cares about decentralisation

Defederated from .ml and watch those number go even higher.

Let's go Lemmy! It's nice to see this platform grow. Whether by taking in people from corpo social media platforms or just by people discovering that it's actually a safe neat little place to exist.
Keep the Lemmings coming please 💜

It's good to have it as an option but most people are frustrated if they can't just go to one place that has tons of people.

Decentralized networks with large centralized communities is the best approach. You have to have that number of people to have interesting conversations and engagement.

But if all the users are spread out across several instances it becomes more resilient. If a large community/instance goes offline or there's a controversy then it can be migrated to a new instance

I came here after lemmy.ml said it was shutting down. Idk what happened a with that but world seemed stable enough to not have that problem

No. The idea is to have the constant looming threat of decentralization to keep the centralized system in check.

I like being grouped in 12s lol

All those users are from different instances. That's decentralized.

If this community goes down or is otherwise not viable anymore, users can easily find another, similar community, while not having to switch to a different platform or instance or whatever themselves. That's how this is supposed to work.

Decentralization with different larger communities on different instances, with community members from all kinds of different instances, baby!

I can now say I've officially joined the .world party, after the craziness from my last post getting deleted, im officially done with them. i might even delete all my other post i did in .ml, those guys are fucking ridiculous for no reason.

.world supports .ml, so…. There’s that.

Can someone connected with Anonymous see if they can get some AI to do a Hugging Bear style DDoS attack on u/Spez? We should Ol' Yeller Reddit. It's for the best really.

Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozen

actual question: How is Lemmy.ml functionally different than Lemmy.world?

Even so, my interactions there are way better than .ml. ill take that anyday

From my experience, people in .world are way more open to positive discussion than .ml. Everything upsets .ml if you say the wrong thing or dont post the right way, to make them understand. Its to much fucking drama for no reason.

I convinced a few of my friends to leave reddit and move onto to here. I'M DOING MY PART!

.ml has a lot of pro-Russia, pro-China types and criticism of either country can lead to a quick ban.

Functionally, there is no difference. Both run the same software, tho the versions may slightly differ as the devs, who run .ml, push updates.

For a functionally different experience try Mbin/Kbin (I forget which is the current), or Piefed. Piefed is similar to Lemmy with some quality of life improvements. Kbin/Mbin is a cross between “tweet” style posts, “blog” style posts like tumblr, and Reddit type posts.

High scores are neat; but we all realize that's effectively just trainspotting, right? Popularity just means popularity, and laundering that out to some notion of good/effective/accurate/respected is neither good nor healthy ; right?

Still, grats on having a higher number.

It only works if you can bring your block list with you. That's the only thing of value attached to my profile.

I'm a recent convert. Got banned by Reddit mods, like globally for an anti ICE comment. I called them brownshirts.

Mutually assured enshittification

Only 9.66 dozens of dozen of dozen

I'm part of discuss.tchncs.de, more or less by accident. I just stumbled across that one when I wanted to make an account.

You can, it's easy and quick. I just exported my profile settings (builtin to the default lemmy.world web UI) to a json file in a couple seconds. Confirmed it contains blocked users and communities.

Precisely! What's the point of an overpopulated instance? It's more likely to affect users because of blanket instance blocklists.

Reddit.world

Thanks for engaging!

We are decentralized, according to FediDB, the Fediverse has 14.2 million accounts. Lemmy+Piefed+Mbin have 551k users. Obviously we could be better spread out, but the fact that there's no instance at 50% share is already pretty nice.

And if a big instance enshittified, it would be drastically easier for everyone to leave it compared to convincing people to leave Reddit or something. You just export/import your user settings and you get to keep the communities you've subscribed to and block, and the users you've blocked.

Well thats sad.

Should have chosen Piefed.

Lemmy kind of maintained by really really really terrible people, though. Better off on a different fediverse frontend.

ML was run by the Lemmy frontend maintainers who drain the blood of puppies for sustenance and wish to kill you slowly and painfully as a source of income.

Nah.

If you view corporate social media like fb/twitter/reddit as a morally wrong + negative influence on society, then this is a moral win thus worth celebrating.

Especially when you add in that the main barrier to any social media product gaining traction is first hitting that critical mass of enough posts to make it worth returning to -> habit forming + habit replacing.

Well thank god for that!

I prefer a Lemmy instance that doesn't censor.

Have any good suggestions for a decent non-tankie instance that doesn't censor and allows downvoting? I'm only on .world out of laziness.

Doesn't all of lemmy only have 60k weekly users though? I thought I just read that.

Except in this there's really not a lot of benefit when it comes to centralization so it would be better to decentralize to make sure no single instance becomes too big. I'd say world is already a bit too big because 90% of my subscribed feeds would be gone if world no longer federated with Piefed. World has significant sway on our side of the fediverse because smaller instances will probably feel dead (or turn into an echo chamber) if world won't federate with them.
