Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new [email protected] taking over [email protected]
[email protected] for additional context on those recent events if you are interested
Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417
Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep [email protected] active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities
If they allow porn, anime, hentai, weed and piracy, I might make the switch, but this usually is the biggest obstacle.
I’m used to the lack of mexican content (except from the propaganda) so that’s not a problem.
Yeah it seems like there’s barely anything here for Mexico, which I guess uses just the standard sources. There is [email protected], but… you see how empty that is. There is https://lemmygrad.ml/c/latinamerica but… fuck no, not on on that instance!:-P
Yeah I see [email protected] at lemmy.cafe, though I don’t see [email protected] so perhaps nobody there has subscribed to it yet, anyway ymmv. And I see [email protected], but you may want to check your specific communities.
Damn, lemmy.cafe is somehow even running 0.19.6-beta.9. Is this too good to be true - is this a trap?:-) Or is the instance admin that much on the ball?
Yeah, the México thing is to be expected, we are extremely ignorant when it comes to technology, meta has everyone grabbed by the balls and they hold on to that. Even on reddit the subs have low activity and most are poorly moderated (hell, r/mexico is actively under the control of the political party in power, the users downvote the propaganda, but the mods protect their bots and manipulate the posts).
I’ll check the other instances later, as you can see I like keeping my profile empty because I’m too nomadic so it should not be a problem.
Yeesh. Things are not perfect in the USA but it does sound a bit better than that - until/unless Trump wins and then the gap will close a bit:-(.
I wonder where I will end up myself! I even wonder if I should take a break from social media altogether over the next couple of months, but that seems doubtful (if only bc it would take quite some effort to replicate the various functions, e.g. research a good RSS reader). Lemmy - like everywhere else - seems likely to become a shitstorm until the election is over.:-(
Though dropping lemmy.ml and hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml should help a ton.
