It’s much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz!biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there’s always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz

You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what’s known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won’t be “synced” and you won’t see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what’s known as the “modlog”

Obligatory, fuck Spez

    You are not fighting anything my guy you are actively harassing the very own people that develop the algorithm that let us interact together because, god forbid, they have different political opinion than you. Just go back to Reddit if you want an US echo chamber.

      Please point me to this “harassment”. Am I messaging them directly constantly? Am I following them on GitHub and posting on their comments?

      Because documenting what they say and the actions they take is not “harassment”, that sounds like a line straight out of the Drump administration or Muskrat TBH. In fact, I’m pretty sure Muskrat did use that line of narrative with that one person who was documenting his private jet flights.

      Like I said, Authoritarians hate when people track what they do and will use all manner of words to discredit it, “harassment”, “fake news” etc.

      Just because you’re doing good dev/open source work, does not mean you get a free pass to push and spread toxicity and harmful propaganda. Especially when using power and influence from that work to do it.

        🙄 “Authoritarians” hate being tracked so much that they created the modlog.

          A broken clock…and there are some rumblings they are screwing with it. I have not seen direct evidence myself of it, so I don’t push it.

          But there are some breadcrumbs, like how it used to actually list the mod or admin that took the action and now it just says “mod” or “admin”

          Or how .ml’s modlog has the ability to filter by mods disabled but other instances don’t
