My sentiments exactly. Honestly, it’s a waste of breath to have an opinion on Lemmy. I have been thinking I might as well put up with the reddit ads at this point. I don’t really fall in with the hive mind. But of course, they’ll say Reddit is the hive mind here.
I saw a post on one of the pro union groups (I believe it was lemmy.ml) where they started naming him Saint Luigi and how he should kill more CEOs… like what am I even supposed to think about that? Am much as I agree with a lot of the ideologies on these instances, It doesn’t feel right despite the circumstances.
lol, I never said that. You can say whatever the hell you want and I couldn’t care less. But expressing an alternate opinion on Lemmy does come with most people shunning you and calling you a bootlicker, which from what I’ve seen only discourages diversification. But I guess that’s a good thing for you guys? Haha
Naw lemmy for the most part is pretty cool. If you’re getting called out for being a bootlicker by a bunch of replies, it probably means you are one. Which you are, btw.
Thats not right. Just because i think lemmy is cool doesnt mean its because my opinions align well. In fact i talk a lot of dumb shit and get down voted all the time. Im actually one of the more drunk assholes who post on here.
You: I wish I were free to have an independent opinion…
Them: Your “freedom” is the right to stfu and agree with what I say…
Like, !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com exists if people want to chat about overthrowing stuff. “Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting… [etc.]”. Meanwhile, Rule #1 of !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world states “Be Respectful”, and Rule #5 is “No Enciting Harassment” so… I guess mods shouldn’t follow the rules then, b/c facts don’t matter?
Then they will get mad that people choose the bear (Reddit) over the man (bEcAuSe We’Re SuCh NiCe PeOpLe ThO).
I have noticed the irony in most of these, yes. And if mods do enforce the rules as they should (like the .world mods) they get criticized. There’s no winning, haha
“They” will say all sorts of things. When it is true, then it is true, when it is not true, then it is not true. Being able to tell the difference though is exhausting. The hive mind makes things so much easier, to never have to “think”. Ofc we all do it - the difference is that some of us fight against that trend:-).
And Luigi is a legit difficult narrative to talk about - even if he helped spur a(n inter-)national conversation, what about when we get to one person per day, and the corps instead of budging an inch just tighten the screws all the harder? Surely communism is working out GREAT for the likes of Russia, China, and North Korea? Except how come the people espousing that thought never seem to move there to “enjoy” the fruits of their labor?
Those mods put in WORK to curate their communities. I respect that. Even If I did not agree with their actions (although I happen to agree, but I am saying even if I were not to), I still respect their commitment to service to their communities. And if someone wants to spin up their own instance or make their own community and mod it, that’s one thing, but to simply complain about it without bothering to invest even one iota into understanding those decisions… seems childish to me.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, tankies love to do the same (example on lemmygrad), but there’s more than that now. Not all extreme leftists are tankies and quite frankly the reverse is true to a much higher degree than tankies will admit either.
That’s why I’ve started calling it the Alt-Left, and I notice that I’m not the only one, especially see this exchange from long before the election.

Because they are the opposite of the alt-right: they are the alt-left. They are not actually leftist, just like the alt-right isn’t actually conservative. They are both just plain fascist.

Whoops, gonna get down voted now, lol
Says the guy who agrees people shouldn’t post their opinions about the hero who stopped the mass murdering CEO.

As I said, in my very first sentence. So… good?
Case in point. Lemmy is pretty cool if your opinions align with theirs.
Thats not right. Just because i think lemmy is cool doesnt mean its because my opinions align well. In fact i talk a lot of dumb shit and get down voted all the time. Im actually one of the more drunk assholes who post on here.
Blocks and filters make it much better.
I agree, it’s more tolerable.
New users won’t know how to do that… but yes.

Is that the post? I might’ve blocked either the instance or the group. I can’t see it anymore.
