the big percentage of FOSS users, privacy enthusiats and the self-hosting community
It does feel like a bit of a purity contest/circlejerk to me at times though.
it does feel like that sometimes tho
Public modlogs limit power tripping (!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com )
Yes, it’s good, although I’ve noticed there’s a purge feature now that’s being inevitably misused.
Is it federated, or would the purged content still be visible on other instances?
Hmm, it’s hard to say. The purge record doesn’t display anything like username searchable by the standard frontend, and it’s still a lot rarer than normal removals. The top purge on .ml right now relates to this thread, shown federated to my instance, and it’s neither of the ones visible there, but that could just be that it wasn’t federated in time.
The reason given was that it’s a reply to the wrong thread, which should definitely be a normal removal. The only clear-cut case for a true purge is doxxing or CSAM.
Not the most extra ordinary of things but I do like that there is no (USA ?) babysitting when it comes to say fuck etc.
TBH it feels like a pretty continuous evolution of Reddit, Digg, and whatever was between Digg and usenet. There’s self selection that’s made it a bit more harmonious than Reddit, but that’s it.
That being said, it’s super cool to get a glimpse into the million different experiences people have had. The internet is a magical place.
whatever was between Digg and usenet
for me, it was a mix of Slashdot and a bunch of discussion boards.
Don’t forget Fark!
Oh yeah, I forgot about Slashdot!
I was around for a bit of the disparate forums era, but I have no idea which ones fed into which 2.0 platforms.
Citing sources
A few months ago, I would’ve said how people try to engage you in good faith and how people would read walls of text and engage
Lately I feel people are scared and angry. Which is totally reasonable, but has some of the best parts of our communities
We also probably got a lot of new refugees and more interest from botters… But I used to get love with near every message I posted. Or at least honest engagement. Now? I get way less replies, and way more of them are reading into something I didn’t say
See this is why we have to stand up for blueberries— this guy just spouts off with his hate for blueberries— it’s just unwarranted. He can have my love when he gets his hands off my blueberries.
Lemmy culture? Nothing, lacks diversity. I often feel like I’m just talking to the same guy. Very rare to read views that don’t align with the groupthink.
EDIT: Okay, one thing that came to mind is that I can talk about autistic stuff that I do and nobody seems to question/judge it.

Of course, the one guy you’re talking to is also autistic.
Isn’t that a good thing though? I would rather be around people that accept my fucked brain than people putting their hand on my knee to stop me from shaking my legs a la restless leg.
Though I do agree that a variation in opinion would be nice.
It’s a plus and a negative: how anti-fascist and anti-capitalist it is. I do think that it can go too far at times, but I just block those people. We should try to be less binary as that just isn’t what reality is like.
Alot of people are really helpful for any questions you might ask, as long as you are respectful
I love that no one ever blinks an eye when I run naked through here. You guys are so cool!
Beans.
Also jeans
I just thought “You’ve heard of bananas in pajamas, now get ready for beans in jeans” and then my mind went the elf on a shelf meme where you’d depict it visually, and picturing an anthropomorphic bean wearing blue jeans, my mind looked at that and guessed “Kidneys in dungarees?”
Renals in jeanals
I like that there is a large contingent of actual socialists whether soc dems, anarchists or the dreaded tankies.
I like that there is a greater anti corporate mindset and I’m less likely to see someone justify something because “well what do you expect, businesses exist to make money”.
I like that there are so many Linux and open source enthusiasts. And privacy enthusiasts. Used to be big on Reddit but became more and more niche over time.
I like that there aren’t pun threads. Maybe that’s not really true culture but more contrast with Reddit.
I like that I first commented on this post two days ago, and other people are still conversing. I miss how conversations spanned over months/years in the early days of the internet. It feels cozy, especially since Reddit got so large that many posts burn out in hours, or are so popular that you’re just screaming into the void.
Ha.
The high proportion of Linux users is nice
Yes, so nice proportion of smart people. I was whining to my wife the other day how I miss the internet of the 90s when that was more the case.
