It paid well.

Ideologues on a mission to evangelize.

The patriarchy sucks for most men, that aren’t on the top. Their grievances are still legitimate and either ignored or belittled.

Geoengineering on a large scale, here we come.

This. Men are more often victims of violent crime, homelessness, mental illness, suicides, do worse in school, incarceration, die in wars, work dangerous jobs. Classic male institutions, structures, and spaces don’t exist anymore like they used to.

Add to that that men showing emotions is still seen as weakness.

These issues aren’t addressed or even mentioned.

Getting banned from lemmy.ml is a badge of honor.

Mods are worse here and often will delete posts and ban users, who don’t violate the rules. There are tons of unwritten rules, especially in news and politics related topics.

If a user is banned, all their posts and the communities they created are deleted. That means lots of valuable content can get deleted at the whim of a mod.

Tankies are far more present and tolerated here than on Reddit.

Misogyny is also more ripe. There’s a reason twoxchromosomes never got off the ground here.

Try scheduling a cron tab job to run a task on dates defined that way.

The radio stations were extremely good. I still listen to the soundtrack at times.

I have 24 GB on my M2. The real news is Apple finally having a good amount of RAM in the base model.

the M4 MacBook Pro will indeed start at 16 GB of unified memory for the base variant

Open standards were an advantage when Apple was more niche. Now they are dominant in smartphones.

A wise decision.

I’m just into light hair colors and eyes in general.

Seems like this is a Lemmy wide problem then. Things like this are social problems, not technical ones.

What community was it if you don’t mind?

Bottom right

I agree that lemmy.world moderation has issues. It can be arbitrary and the written rules don’t really matter. There’s also zero recourse.

I would recommend sh.itjust.works

True. I have only found one community on lemmy that‘s better than its Reddit equivalent. !politicalcompassmemes@lemmy.world isn’t swamped with fascists.

Just like previous Reddit alternatives quickly became refuges for fascists and jailbait, Lemmy is a refuge for tankies. They can say here, that would get them banned from Reddit. So a considerable part of the users here are of the more extreme sort in the first place.

The arbitrary moderation here makes it less attractive to post something of substance. You’re just one mod’s click away from it all being deleted. Reddit at least keeps your account, posts, and bookmarks around, if you get banned. Sure you can get around this by hosting your own instance, but that’s a ton of work.

The lower amount of content is an advantage in one way. Endless doomscrolling becomes repetitive quickly.

He wasn’t alone. He was with several armed men and apparently also with hostages.

I don’t know if this is worth my time. It’s not just lemmy.ml and hexbear. lemmy.world, solarpunk, and feddit.org are also affected for example.

sh.itjust.works seems to be the exception. Answers that are tolerated in !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works get deleted or users banned on world, worldnews, news, and similar. I’m strictly talking about posts that don’t violate any written rules.

I suspect this is a major reason why lemmy isn’t more popular and growth has stalled. The core users are free software true believers and Marxist fundamentalists and want to stay among themselves.

Fully agreed. Lemmy‘s developers being tankies influences the whole ecosystem negatively. The strong presence of FOSS activists here adds another group of ideologues. Even mods outside lemmy.ml will moderate along similar hard ideological lines. Political content is often an echo chamber on lemmy. Downvotes for disagreements are the norm. The mods are more arbitrary than even those on Reddit. I’ve seen many times how they delete posts and replies, just because they offer disagreeing information. There are lots of unwritten arbitrary rules. Users are banned and the communities they founded are deleted with all their posts. I’ve seen lots of useful content removed through this mechanism. Overall moderation is far more arbitrary here than on Reddit.

Most other Reddit alternatives were filled with racists and cp. Lemmy is a haven for tankies.
