Yea, lemmy is quite mean. I simply unsubscribed to the world news and politics communities. Now, my feed is just filled with cute posts like urs'. Whenever I want to see the talked about news story of the day, I just head on to "All" under "Active".

OH ALSO! Try to block the tankie communities/servers. They're the worst in this regard.

how to access this power im constantly blocking more users and communities and still they find me πŸ˜–

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I'm sorry u have to do this :(

Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer to this.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Join lemmy.cafe

It blocks all 3 major tankie instances. Including lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, and lemmy.ml

Edit: oh you are already on lemmy.cafe

[–] Thade780 9 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Is lemmy.ml a tankie instance? I honestly missed this.

Lead Lemmy Developer, Dessalines, denying the Tiananmen Square Massacre and praising the Uyghur Genocide

https://sh.itjust.works/post/8419342

https://web.archive.org/web/20230626055233/https://old.reddit.com/r/communism/comments/cqgztr/fuck_the_white_supremacist_reddit_admins_want_me/

Dessalines AKA "parentis_shotgun" on Reddit, is the main Lemmy dev, also the admin of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml.

[–] Thade780 9 points 8 months ago

Holy shit, I didn't know!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

It is kind of interesting from a historical perspective that the massacre part of Tiananmen Square didn't happen in the Square. Like most police actions from fascist states, it was squads of pigs chasing down protesters after they broke and ran and beating them to death or disappearing them when they're cut off from support.

And, of course, the crowd had to break and run. They weren't armed, and couldn't actually resist riot cops, much less the army.

Yes and no

Some of the mods/admins are tankies, but it’s a popular instance so many users aren’t tankies. Some are tho.

This is why is joined blahaj.zone, people are nice.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

you haven't been here long have you

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean, if you check their history, they actually haven't been here long.

But I have, and I can confirm, people are nice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

do you remember the post from this sub that hit the all feed yesterday?

my inbox still hasn't recovered.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Which was that? blahaj.zone has been pretty chill in my experience.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

It's all relative. Maybe pretty chill as compared to reddit. I still get people being weirdly hostile whenever I say anything remotely controversial, no matter how nice I am about it.

Mean people are everywhere, and the separation of internet communication makes it easy to be cruel. Wave them off and and celebrate the folks who treat others well.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

thank u internet stranger griddy dances away

[–] GrymEdm 18 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

What's amusing is that I just noticed now that you're the person who gave me the benefit of the doubt and defended me earlier. I seriously did not know that when I posted this, but after you replied here I recognized the name. Cheers friend.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

holy shit lol i just noticed too. i wish lemmy had a follow feature or just a little star sticker i can put to remind myself β€œyo this chap is fresh” ⭐️

Have you tried being gay? Much nicer to that here

If you have and it doesn’t work then try not being gay

One of those is bound to work

[–] AeonFelis 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Being gay is a pain in the ass

We're building character, you'll need to be hardened for the upcoming battles.

Much love, Signed Banjo the Savage.

lol I fled here from 9gag. Either y'all are extremely nice, or I have been suffering from Stockholm syndrome for the last decade. :')

Probably both

I try my best to not be mean even when i strongly disagree with someone. Unless they are genuinely fascist, then it is what it is

[–] TheBat 11 points 8 months ago

We're only mean to people who don't touch themselves. πŸ˜‡

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, don't you understand that you are an imperialist and you should feel bad about it?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

i wont lie that’s a new accusation to me lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Imperialists never admit they're imperialists!

[–] PugJesus 9 points 8 months ago

You are loved and valid. Lemmed and Lemmid.

[–] nl4real 8 points 8 months ago

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, JERRY.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I only see meanness in political posts, and some instances like hexbear (the_dunk_tank can get pretty toxic)

I have two lemmy apps, one that I have set up to block locally, and one with none of those blocks in place. You should try keyword filtering and instance blocking. You should add election, trump, biden, elon, musk, vote, war as your blocks (its what I use)

When I feel argumentative or simply don’t want to have posts hidden I go on the app with no instance blocks or keyword filters

When I want good news I use the one with my filters

Because lemm.ee doesn't allow direct uploading, I have to upload all my memes through Imgur.

JFC Imgur is the 2nd meanest social media community after pre-2017 yik yak. Good Lord that place was like a high school theater department.
