Me as an instance admin sitting here reading about how Lemmy doesn't have trolls and Russian bots, while I'm in a chat with other instance admins and mods where we need to actively coordinate to fight the trolls and Russian bots 😐
Even without any karma system, interacting with the users here is a breath of fresh air. Lemmy has the least shills and bots compared to the poison in most other platforms. It's currently Lemmy's best asset and where it stands out from all existing social media imo, and I hope it remains this way.
I’d estimate blocking ozma has reduced the amount of “Trump and the GOP may be attempting to install a fascist dictatorship but Biden’s old” nonsense in my feed by 95%.
Hard disagree. I'm already spending less time here because the Kremlin and CCP propaganda ruins the experience for me. I don't even consider recommending it to people I know for the same reason.
Yes fellow humans I am also a human and enjoy human activities such as consuming nutrient rich bread products and performing my nightly ritual of scraping detritus from my molars. There are no bots on Lemmy, Just fellow human(s).
I'll start posting more content in a few days. I've been traveling and working a lot. But I've also been playing project zomboid on single player so we'll see if I follow through with my promise.
Lemmy is an improvement on Reddit, but imo not by much. There really is no innovation on the fundamental concept of subreddits/communities. The issue with Lemmy is that I've come across so many promising communities that quickly die off after the initial spurt of activity. I wonder if there is a better organic way to grow the "online discussion" from some form of general cespool, that can segementize only later when those needed segments (communities) emerge naturally.
i seeked lemmy world out, so glad to be here.
what finally made me NEED to get away from R****t was the manufactured outrage, clickbait to an incredible degree. people purposely putting up content that reinforces the status quo by encouraging people to get mad about situations that challenge the status quo.
also ridiculously stupid questions, way too many people posting photos of shit and asking "whats wrong here" like come on what the fuck. i'm so sick of it.
Given how the libs here so readily resort to the unfalsifiable, ad hominem conspiracy theory of accusing anyone who disagrees with them of being a Russian bot, it's wild to think that there are places they see as even more filled with Russian bots.
