I spend most of my time on here browsing through All - as long as you're willing to wade through Linux and Star-trek memes, there's still an awful lot to see in the Fediverse.
I don't think the Fediverse is populated enough at the moment that niche subs can be as active as they were on Reddit. Best you can for now is keep your niche alive and spread the word of it's existence
It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....
Yes, but the "censorship" and "freedoms" they talk about isn't about malicious censorship (I.e. Spez going around quietly editing dissenting comments) or freedom about how our content is used (I.e. Reddit refusing to let people delete their comments).
Their version is about spreading misinformation and hate speech of all kinds, alongside racist and facist ideologies unfiltered and unimpeded. They're malicious actors acting like victims.
We don't want any of that, we want all folks to feel welcome, which is why we have to shoot that down. To maintain a tolerant society, we must only be intolerant of the intolerant.
When the destination is militant authoritarism and fascists, how you got to that point doesn't really matter.
Fascists, alt-right, tankies, and other extremists will kill any chance we have of talking normally in this place, so they cannot be allowed to take root in the mainstream instances.
It's true, those types will use your own rules against you to wipe you out if you let them. It's one of the oldest tricks in the playbook of bad faith arguments.
I bet you we'll see a version of that very argument with the Fediverse when Meta brings "Threads" onto the scene. They'll preach inclusion then use the old EEE tactic to kill us off.
So... it's been a while now since the great exodus. How are you all doing my fellow refugees? (kbin.social) en
I made my home here permanently now. It seems like such a friendlier place but how are you all doing?
A very short survey on attitudes towards biological immortality (forms.office.com) en
My friend's daughter is doing a project on biological immortality. It would be great if you could help her by answering a short survey....
Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social) en
