  • I just want to say thanks for such an honest and comprehensive explanation. I don’t think I have much to offer, but I feel very welcomed (is that a word?) here. The choices you made and the ethos you hold yourself and the instance against seem very well intentioned and a good way to circumvent some of the nastiest things social networks brought to this world. There are lots of places in the internet to get ethically subjective content, for those who want it. This doesn’t need to be a place for it.

    The “growing” part of the network project it’s very subjective. Of course that a network needs a good amount of users to generate enough content and discussion, but at the same time, crowds usually don’t add much to the niceness of any place.

    Thanks once again for creating this.





  • I wish the fediverse is able to contain all the ideas, all the political positions and that disconnecting/blocking an instance is only used for behaviors like spamming. Not giving every political stance the opportunity to be a part of the same world fuels extremists.

    Beehaw and other instances can kick all the users with far-right beliefs. That’s fair. But Lemmy users shouldn’t be blocked to listen to or even interact with them, in their own instances, if they wanted. Don’t help creating political ghettos.












  • That makes everything clearer. I see now that instances can be created with completely different rules (i had already noticed the “no downvotes” option) Thank you for that.

    It’s great to have all this different flavours in the save universe.

    My next inquiry will be about clicking that colored symbol (maybe a fediverse icon?!) and being taken to a mastodon page. That really confused me. Especially because I’m also on mastodon, with the same username but the two accounts (lemmy/beehaw and mastodon) are not connected… It’s really confusing for me.


  • It’s going pretty good because I think I’m finally making some progress towards being more focused. Although I need to confess that was pretty thrilled with the onboarding on lemmy and checked it a lot during the weekend.

    Apart from that I’m cutting ties with general stuff and news and focusing on: books (reading The Stranger right now), one single magazine about current issues in the world, hearing good music and starting to play an old RPG after great advice I received on c/gaming. I’ll workout after work and then start a campaign.
