We are small, but Lemmy is something that no business can take away. I have faith. Been here for a while and happy to see new faces.

MODERATORS
I have to say, that is one hilariously fantastic way to wish ill on a group of people.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Ive seen the same thing reported on Lemmy.
Moderators need to be careful to not fall into the same trap.
Well, an unpaid job that involves exercising power over others is always going to attract insufferable, self-important people. It's why I say they're the same people who run HOAs. Just petty little power trippers. I mean, if it ever gets bad, one can always start one's own instance, make competing subs, and make them off limits to the offending mods. Odds are good they'd be driving the members away as it is.
Some home countries that host many of the instances on lemmy have pretty rigid rules for what constitutes promoting violence. Many of the mods/admins are just doing what they can to ensure the lights stay on by removing posts/comments that violate these rules.
Would be nice with a list of that somewhere so users can choose what kind of moderation culture/country laws fits their own personality.
Some users definently wants to be protected from content they dont like, but some feel equally strongly they they can handle it without a internet daddy.
Its a bit like how rich people use swiss banks to get to keep their money, since they dont agree that the country they are born in should take a large cut of their profits.

GG Allin possession is a great note to leave on, congrats!
I just wanted something different so I came here. Also trying to fedi my fun and leave old services that have been enshittified.
Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We have Tankies here too, but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. On .world instance 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
Hehe, I actually joined my instance in no small part due to it already having taken anti tankie countermeasures. Don't need those people buzzing around like horseflies, I had a tankie father and my patience for that shit is basically zero.
Thanks for the recommends, neighbor!
