Ooh I’ve been there

Only when I got really drunk though

I agree with your outlook 100%. However, beehaw has made themselves a community intentionally to be safe for their like-minded members, which I also understand. It does get tiring to see hate spewed without much reason or direction.

Your point is partially why I stuck with .ml rather than switching over to a different instance. I understand that they also have controversial instances blocked but it’s not like I can’t see them still.

Rational thought takes a bit of effort for some people and its normally easier to either isolate or congregate.

We don’t want them (TD fans) just as much as anybody.

These early stage memes will stay with the platform for as long as we want.

Either a new copy pasta or a real shitpost.

This might be a hot take but…

Is the interface really that terrible? I feel that if it were as easily accessible aa reddit or even facebook then we would be bombarded with so many brain dead posts by users who don’t understand how to get through a computer and therefore the quality of posting and discussion goes way down.

I’m probably wrongly stereotyping and judging here but I had to say it.

There’s literally not anything left on reddit that I wish to see anymore. It’s all controlled and bloated and designed to keep you addicted and angry. I’ve been increasingly bored and annoyed with the platform for a while, so this made the transition to lemmy even easier. Honestly, a lot of people are better off without it.

Sadly doing nothing is easier so most people will never be proactive.

I think a lot of it comes down to people who want to have a like minded experience; which can be good and bad. It essentially enforces to them that they’re in the right regardless without seeing the big picture. And that can be dangerous.

Is there a way to view blocked instances and why?

Yeah don’t I know it

I’m in negotiation with my HR team this week about it. Here’s to hoping they compromise.

Fuck

Lol

I’m here for the skeleton memes

You’ve got a very good point here that I don’t think a lot of people have considered. I’m glad someone had mentioned it – it could very well be just what we need.

I have nothing else to add that wouldn’t be portrayed as negative so I believe putting efforts frontwards to bettering what currently is, is a great course of action.

I kinda wish I joined beehaw for this exact reason. I signed up a little before the overload and I think there was a couple hundred members at most but now I’m seeing some of the old reddit mindset trickle in and… ugh.

Maybe I just don’t like redditors? Talk about irony. Lol

I hope there ends up being a migration feature introduced sometime.

I kinda hope it stays this way tbh… pork is all over the internet, I don’t know why people can’t turn their dick off for five minutes sometimes.

Edit; pork. Porn. Keeping it.

This is particularly why I don’t participate in any social media aside from (what used to be reddit but now) lemmy. It got to the point where I wasn’t even enjoying reddit, I just clicked it out of habit. And did I actually retain anything useful from that website? Lol no. It was all just timewasting bullshit that put you in a pissy mood.

It’s nice to actually hold a fucking conversation for once. I think a lot of us came here for the same reason; missing the community of that old school forum feel.

Trust me, as a hetero woman, I got so exhausted too. Reddit got so eye-roll-y within…less than 5 minutes sometimes that it made me just leave and go do something productive.

Wait is that really how that works? Geez…that doesn’t seem right.

Edit; on second thought, I do kind of see how this would be beneficial…on certain topics. Okay, I’m not sure how to feel about that exactly yet.

It would be kinda nice if /aaaaaaacccccccce made it over. I know there’s a lgbt on beehaw but it’s not quite the same if that makes sense.

You should find that when exploring! But if you’re interested:

Hahaha, thank you for speaking the damn truth. I dont understand why it really needs a place on every website. URLs exist for a reason friends
