I have never been an "online community first" person. The internet is how I stay in touch with people I met in real life. I'm not a "tweet comments at celebrities" guy. I was never funny enough to be the funniest person on Twitter. So when Twitter was accidentally purchased

It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

    From one socialist (me) to another (you, presumably), the lemmy.ml hate comes from:

    • Conservatives who dislike socialism
    • Liberals who dislike socialism
    • Socialists who think Stalin and Mao were anti-democratic fuckheads, and don’t enjoy being around “socialists” who like them.

    I like Lemmy, but can at the same time dislike people who like things I consider to be authoritarian, even if those people created the platform in the first place.

    Viewing lemmy.ml content on ‘All-Top’ is a rather happy medium for me, still get to see some of the best memes

      I’m definitely not a socialist. .ml is where I landed when I joined due to not knowing any better and joining the largest (at the time) instance, and honestly the outside hate is keeping me there.
