I'm back on my bullshit.
ooh-rawr!
There was an Out of the Loop post that discussed this: https://lemmy.world/post/310513
OotL: What's the deal with people claiming Lemmy as a whole supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), dictatorships, denies genocides, etc? - Lemmy.world
I keep running into comments where users are arguing for avoiding Lemmy, claiming that Lemmy supports authoritarian governments, supports the CCP, sides with Russia in their invasion of Ukraine, denies genocides committed by nominal communist governments, and other similar political claims. I know there are communist instances and whatnot, but I’m well aware that identifying as a communist doesn’t mean that someone wants a dictatorial government or denies genocides. - Can we figure this out and have any supporting evidence either way to end the rumors? - Is there any evidence that Lemmy is advocating against democracy, pro dictatorships, denying and/or advocating for genocides? - Is there evidence that using Lemmy supports genocidal aspiring dictators and their accomplices? - Even if there is one instance that advocates for atrocities, genocides, dictatorships, and clearly false revisions of history, what does that have to do with the Lemmy as a system? Can’t those instances just be defederated? To be 100% clear, I am not a communist, aspiring dictator, or support genocides. I also do not believe that communism = dictatorships and the end of human rights. I believe in democracy, equitable distribution or power, individual human rights and freedoms. If I had to define a personal political identity, I would mostly fall under the term anarchist and do not advocate for violence against innocent people despite their political viewpoints (except Nazis because they’re not innocent. Fuck Nazis).
did you have a sensible chuckle and look at your friend in a moment of pure happiness?
That's some straight up gaslighting shit. If they can figure out to charge it, they can print it on a bill.
With people learning about Fediverse, I'm guessing Instagram. Why? Because IG has become overwhelmed with influencers and TikTok-like junk. The initial wave of people into Pixelfed will be techies that want a break from that scene. Their friends will hear about it. The friends that just want to have an IG-like experience to share their pictures with friends while avoiding all the rest of the noise will slowly transfer over. Once they hit the critical mass, the switch will happen. This will take at least another year or two.
those are the admins of one instance. if you don't like them, you can join another or create your own
apparently, and I know next to nothing about this, you can use an automated option via Ansible.
would Pixelfed be a working alternative for hosting image files, then linking over?
I'm really getting into the whole Fediverse and trying to limit use of for-profit proprietary services. FOSS or death!

yep, I had a similar train of thought
[spez] screwed up so bad, and it's obvious he's quite stupid...I'm wondering if he was given the Ellen Poa treatment. The investor's knew what changes they wanted to implement to increase revenue, had him implement it, then made him take all the flak. Next, they'll replace spez with someone else, seemingly roll back a few of the changes, and say they're working with the reddit community. The thing is that it's obvious that reddit is irreparably infected. The diseases cannot be eradicated because the disease is corporate greed. Reddit began its time in hospice the moment they shared they were going public. It's over. Done. Say you final goodbyes. RIP in pieces.
