If it’s any consolation, there are more of us than there were at Pussolini’s “state fair.”
You’re not trapped here with me, I’m trapped here with you.
We’re all trapped in this together.

This made us uncontrollably laugh hahaha 😂 thank you
It’s been years now, and I still haven’t found the exit.
Backrooms of Lemmy
Lemmingrooms
John, Mike, Greg, Philip, Crystal, and I try. Looking for six more to make this someone accurate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What are we rating this blunt rotation?
What’s this from?
Arrested development most likely.
how do we get more? i made stickers
i already handed out 50 or sth.
You should add your @ and see how many convert by giving you a follow. I heard about lemmy almost 3 years ago around the Reddit third party API controversy and made the jump. Hated the Reddit app and haven’t been back.
eh i don’t like having personal followers. (on lemmy that’s also not possible). it’s more about wanting to have people to actually meaningfully discuss with.
DOZENS +1
No sorry, we just lost old Tommy, and nobody knows if Violet survived last Friday night.
As a Canadian on Lemmy, I keep running in to the same couple of people… Hi, lady from Calgary, and guy from Ottawa! Nice to see you again!
I don’t know if you mean me but I’m a guy from Ottawa and it’s nice to see you too!
Tens of tens

Also if you are capitalism supporter, angry socialists will down vote you to oblivion. You’re either with them or you’re witch to be hunted and burned on stake
Votes don’t do anything on the fediverse so don’t be afraid to speak your mind. If you get downvoted, nobody really cares. I’d rather be downvoted than have my post sit at 1 score with no replies. At least then I know people bothered to read it.
Theres pie!

Its a joke. Piefed. Pie-fed.
I enjoyed this so much more as it was at 24 upvotes when I came upon it. Just barely qualifies for plural of dozen.
If you want, I could use my dozen alt account to boost it up ;-)
Honestly all the Lemmy instances could shut off permanently tomorrow and I would be cool with that. Fuck those tankies on ML.
Regardless of your views about the .ml folk, the vast majority of Lemmy users and instances aren’t .ml
Are you familiar with the phrase “to cut your nose off to spite your face”?
ML is actively maintaining Lemmy. They built it, they own it. It ain’t my fucking face, sorry if you feel so attached to it.
Well, duh… now explain to me how .ml’s software is communising or influencing my comments.
Edit: I am most grateful to our supreme leader and chief dev, comrade Desalines (sp?)
Well, it isn’t because Tankies aren’t real communists, they’re authoritarians who worship Putin and Xi and promote Trump.
If you don’t see how enabling them to perform psyops is harmful then skill issue.
Should there be a double negative in that first sentence?
Thanks for our chat, I’m off to read more political theory now. /s
No double negatives, I’ll break it down for you:
It isn’t [pushing communism]
Because
Tankies aren’t real communists
Most Lemmy instances are not pro-tankie.
I don’t think you should waste your time with FiniteBanjo. You can find how evil he is when talking about for example the USA deadly sanctions on Cuba like this . Also denying facts about the minab school he tried to spread the lie that it may be the regime that bombed that school He is as bad as tankies
Careful, pointing out the stuff like that makes you a dirty tankie in their eyes.
Almost all Lemmy instances throw up a seasonal banner begging users to fund tankies like Dessalines and the ML instance.
Because the Lemmy platform is developed by those Tankies and they push it in updates.
Piefed has been around for a while now, there is no longer a good reason to stay on Lemmy.
While there are many good differences that Piefed implements, its heavy-handed use of built-in content blocks is concerning. Arguments have been made that such features are merely a default option that can be changed by other instances, but aside from the dominance of piefed.social, many instance owners are unlikely to change most default settings.
Tbf, a TON of information surrounding that issue turned out to be false. Though at its core you may be correct - and yet the same is also true of Lemmy?
Especially in the past, like when Lemmy at first hard-coded a slur word filter (in English no less), and in response Nutomic told people that… well, read for yourself:
If you dont like it, fork it. Stop bothering us about it, we will never fully remove the slur filter.
(Though they later relented.)
PieFed is not perfectly administered (Rimu admitted this, and stepped back from being the sole leader of the project), and neither is Lemmy. Both are imperfect software tools, both offered as FOSS. Yay - we all win with that philosophy!!
At the end of the day though, if someone is relying upon a free instance service, then it is up to those instance admins to decide their policies, while your only choice is which one you will be beholden to. This too is not different from how Lemmy works, though one difference is in how extremely FAST PieFed develops new features, and also in how responsive the devs are. I don’t blame anyone for choosing not to move, but objectively speaking I don’t see Lemmy passing any purity tests more often than PieFed - especially given how it is way easier to install a personal PieFed instance than a Lemmy one.
As most users (myself included) would rather join an established instance than spin up their own, ultimately I think whichever platform has the least friction for migrating Redditors is best.
Different people might prefer one or the other for different reasons, so as long as both can coexist and hopefully gradually adopt feature parity, the main focus should be growing the Threadiverse as a whole at the expense of Reddit.
They will never reach feature parity.
Redditors, who are primarily USA Christian centrists, will never join someplace where extremists are constantly calling for Luigi-ing everyone in any Western civilizations.
Try it: make an account on lemmy.ml and use it for a day, and make an account on a PieFed instance and do the same. The feature differences are enormous - as too are those that you do not readily see, such as the fact that moderator reports actually federate on one of those two platforms but not the other (tbf they will eventually in an upcoming release).
You will be pleasantly surprised at the outcome if do this experiment.
I block Lemmy.ml, so I wouldn’t create an account on there anyhow. While I think most new users would be better suited on an instance that defederates from Lemmygrad and Hexbear, the substantial userbase of lemmy.ml makes it better to block it instead so that its users can still interact in non-.ml communities and avoid splintering the Threadiverse needlessly.
In any case, what’s most important is not focusing on what makes Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin better or worse than each other, but how to make them all collectively better and make every effort to recruit as many new users from Reddit as possible. Most Redditors won’t join, but even 0.01% of them doing so (44,380 users) would double the size of the Threadiverse.
Tbf, a TON of information surrounding that issue turned out to be false
It wasn’t but sure.

If I get rounded up and thrown into a concentration camp because of their shit, I’m going to be pissed 😡.
Instead of raging about something you’re powerless to change, why not just block those instances you dislike and never have to worry about them again?
Or, as you said all instances, you could delete your account and touch some grass for a bit.
All of us, at times, need a break from the internet. Even if we don’t realise it yet. Maybe now it’s your time and we’ll see you later, when/if you return?
EDIT: You’re clearly confused. I am on Piefed not Lemmy.
Oh, we’re far from powerless. The quarantine of the Tankie Triad has been very successful, as will the move to Piefed.
Because people like me speak up, because the instance admins are aware of the problem and willing to make the needed changes.
Because they just want to attack people they don’t agree with, or are mean to democrats and Republicans. Or just point out how much they’re pro killing those deemed enemies by the USA.
You’ve already outed yourself as a Tankie, don’t pretend you dont support the GOP now.
Thank you for proving the point of just being a hateful account.
Tolerance ends with the intolerant.
As you continue to be with the intolerant?
Btw the comments in this thread are not making any case presented by your account look good
Lmao this fuckin tankie hit me with the “no u” how will I ever recover?
