I hope it continues as Lemmy gets bigger, but I'm kind of doubtful it won't eventually decay in the same way as reddit. At least, I don't see anything inherently different that would avoid that. Perhaps the federation and moderation structure might help, but that doesn't seem certain yet..

As usual, the nuanced answer that doesn't oversimplify the complexities is the best one. Good answer.

I bet women 30-40 years ago would have loved to see this answer too. It's a good thing that the world has changed in this regard.

Yep, very similar to UK Labour, in my understanding. They've distanced themselves from their union roots a lot over the last 4ish decades.

Ah yeah. We really need another word for that other-nationality bigotry.

For your europe example, If it's related solely to someone's personality then it's not racism by definition. If it's claimed that it's based on personality, but the claim only appears in relation to people who look different in a particular way, then it's racism masquerading as something else.

Maybe the only real difference you're seeing is that Europeans are a lot more subtle than Americans (culturally).

You realise we can vote for third parties here, right?

Concise, funny, and correct. Good work.

Man, fuck wet wipes. They are such horrible pollution.

Take some toilet paper and some sanitiser instead.

Go in with low expectations, and you'll probably have a good time. Here's some to start with:

You'll be sore from walking. Sleeping might be uncomfortable or cold, or wet. Food will probably be crap, or hard to cook. Animals will freak you out in the middle of the night, or try to eat your food. You'll smell like smoke (unless it's a fire ban, then you'll be cold). Taking a dump in the bush is not comfortable, even after you get used to it.

It's type 2 fun though, so it'll be good in hindsight. Also you'll probably see a bunch of beautiful shit and maybe get to swim somewhere nice. Just gotta give it a go, and see if it's for you. Personally I love it.

Because that's what's mastodon groups are (e.g. the a.gup.pe). Mastodon doesn't have actual native groups, so bots-as-groups is a work around.

Mastodon doesn't fully federate with Lemmy, so while you can partially interact with Lemmy users and communities, you can't meaningfully partake in conversations here.

Would be cool if lemmy communities could just tag themselves, so a directory like this could be automatically generated.. Maybe even just hashtags in the sidebar or something.

Seems like if a theory doesn't allow for obvious-to-everyone complexity, then it's a pretty useless theory.

Does this have anything to do with the fediverse? If not, perhaps post it in a local community? !mexico@lemmy.world perhaps, or !djing@lemm.ee

The mastodon is not a platform though, it's a protocol/standard and the software to run it. Individual mastodon services/platforms will come and go. I think if they become too much of a product (and enshittify), then people will leave, because they can without much pain.

Still useful to post though, it's a decent simple over view that can be shared elsewhere

Twitter is the first time a global social media giant has seen a major exodus (I guess the second if you count MySpace, but the reasons were pretty different). The sample size is very low.. It's easy to forget how new all of this is.

Why are you on Lemmy? Or, why do you think the decentralised model works here, but not on mastodon?

Or is it only working because there is no third party VC-backed reddit clone?

I don't think anyone is claiming technical superiority. And certainly not financial superiority.

But maybe some kind of resilience to the forces of destruction plaguing commercial social media.

Is "nothing of value" the same as "no longer having any influence" though?
