It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
You mean they delete your comments in their communities if you bring real life into play lol
I guess that’s what happens when they haven’t blocked your instance or banned you from their communities first. That’s usually what they do to me.
Lemmy.ml is the only instance where i ever was banned for citing real events, outside of a misunderstanding on the blahaj instance that was cleared up in a few messages.
Empricorn@feddit.nl made a post on lemmy.dbzer0.com a couple of years ago to attempt a mass defederation campaign against an instance I was on because they didn’t like some of the news links I was posting.
The admin of The Lemmy Club chose to side with the campaign so I ultimately left voluntarily to an instance more friendly to free speech, and to prevent The Lemmy Club from being defederated over stuff the admin didn’t even fully support.
