That’s basically what the entire philosophy of democratic socialism attempts to answer.

Yes, but it’s also associated with libertarian types who used to populate Reddit back in the day before it became mainstream.

Most of them seem to be moving to discuit, another centralised platform, Lol

ANY internet platform that proclaims itself as a guardian of free speech is either overun by racists, xenophobes and the like or, at the very least, holds a significant number of them. There’s a reason most 2000s internet platforms (e.g, Reddit) eventually dropped ‘Free Speech’ as a policy over time.

honestly reading this, it just sounds to me like he isn’t cut out for community management. It is stressful and hard sometimes, so I get it, but he’s going to kill his own site doing this. I did wonder about this before - it seemed like to me he regularly made changes based on feedback on a whim, and these changes were often rushed without much thinking. Needs to know when to pass the baton elsewhere and stick to development, but alas…

The last comments also speak to someone who’s probably hiding some contrarian views of his own.

Shame.

I’m really confused by this direction? The admin seemed… nice, and all of the users were “let’s all be friends and be postivive x!” type people. Not exactly the place for “free speech” dog wistle folks. He’s just going to alienate his entire userbase, I don’t understand the point.

It’s being worked on. In the meantime, you can use LASIM to migrate your subscriptions/settings to another instance. You can also mod your accounts on other instances.

That’s great

by “device” they mean phone, tv, or tablet.

4.8/5 on the apple store, Lol.

Your problem is browsing Everything. There’s a lot of content on Lemmy that isn’t meta-posting - you just need to curate your own feed, like on Reddit.

Subscribe to some more casual places for a funner frontpage.

meh, it’s a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.

Obtainium has a setting just for issues like this.

Click on Infinity for Reddit in the app >click edit button bottom left > change Version Detection option to Use Release Date As Version

Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.

Yes

Worth noting the app is not affiliated with the reddit app, it’s forked by someone else.

Yes. Reddit would not be what it is were it not for discussion.

If you want more than just news, https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 I made a list of more casual Lemmy communities.

You’re right though - it would be nice to have some discussion based news communities. R/geopolitics used to be very high quality for example

The other comment responses are just lazy, link aggregators do not need to be devoid of worthwhile discussions

The Chinese firewall is not even in the same ballpark as Western internet “censorship” lol
