I found this the other day:

Sure, it's not Lemmy, but otherwise it's exactly what you asked for.

I think leaving it up is just the path of least resistance to them. Censoring such an ever-present message is going to have more catastrophic consequences for their PR. Think of all the media talking about how Reddit's violent censorship is supressing what users have to say?

Plus, they're not honorable at all. They definitely have been deleting dissenting comments and deploying bots to astroturf all conversations about their new policies. The only reason why they're leaving the "fuck spez" messages is because it's purely symbolic while users feel vindicated and don't make a bigger stink.

Funny, just a few hours ago I was telling a friend that I noticed the opposite. This conversation started because while r/antiwork and r/work_reform had mostly incompatible ideologies, with antiwork being more radical, Lemmy suggested to me a community titled "Antiwork/Work reform" which is noticeably more status quo compacent. Additionally, the rate of posts going "capitalism isn't that bad, actually" and "fuck tankies" in my TL is higher than in Reddit.

I think this has to do with the amount of active users. If, say, 2% of active users are very vocal about abolishing wage slavery, if there are like 1000 users, that 2% is just 20 people, which wouldn't make a very active community, whereas if it's 100 000 users, then that makes 2000 people who can already make a sort of "echo chamber" where they can openly and actively discuss their ideas.

Also, not to forget that Reddit, like all mass social media, has algorithms meant to maximize your session lengths and that usually involves exposing you to more extremist ideas, both left and right.

I mean, I get the sentiment. But this community is literally about reddit shit lmaoo

Oh, it absolutely is that bad. I gave it a generous chance, I started using it since I signed up on Reddit and kept using it for a few months.

The sheer amount of inserted unwanted content, including but not limited to ads, and the fact that at the time I was using it, it lagged massively on phones that were not bleeding edge new, did it for me. I eventually switched to Sync and then Boost and it was a huge qol improvement.

Btw, this comment kinda feels like it's from a bot. I'm not accusing you of being a bot, but the "No one can tell why the app is so bad" part is sus, it was repeated by a lot of bots on Reddit, and it's certainly pretty easy to find people elaborating on the exact, specific details on why the official app sucks so hard.

I admit I wasn't intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn't going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.

That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.

That's interesting, but there's one problem: are they really that coordinated?

Organic Maps is OSM-based? I switched to it for a few months for the reasons stated above, but it really did not work out for me. Mainly because it was lacking a lot of major locations and facilities in my city, and I could never reliably ask for indications. Plus it had no info on public transportation other than the subway, which was unfortunate. I guess it was because I'm in Europe? Either way I eventually had to switch back to GMaps 😔

If you don't disable the feature where it plays the videos directly in the thumbnail by hovering over it, it also counts as viewed if you let the thumbnail play for like 3 seconds. I hate it.

Fair enough. If it worked the way I said, I reckon there should be some proof of authority or good will before proceeding, and I just don't see it. I like the idea where you can make a suggestion to a mod from another instance tho.

If you don't want your lemmy.world feed to be flooded with languages you can't understand

Mastodon has a feature where you can set which language a post is in, and a setting in your account where you can select which languages you want to see. Is this not viable for Lemmy?

Edit: Nevermind, I just found out this feature is in Lemmy as well 😅
