Lemmy Support
Support / questions about Lemmy.
Tbh this is basically my problem, too much political content, I've blocked all the sublemmies I can but seeing that the default user experience isn't this streamlined is a big problem I have for not recommending Lemmy to anyone.
I see it as a divide between people who want to enjoy tech/privacy version of Reddit, and people who want it to be Twitter but their own tribe, this goes for Wolfballs, and Lemmygrad.
tech/privacy is political. if you don't understand that you're probably too privileged to notice or care.
You are correct and something doesn't add up
Imagine, lemmy.ml claims to be about privacy but supports the PRC, which is like the most anti-privacy organization on the planet.
Oh, you little fed. You have to be a fed. No one is this intentionally ignorant
Yeah, I just browsed all for the first time in a while, and its just lemmygrad. First post is about how Russia is "liberating" Ukraine. Literal fascists.
if it werent for all the stars on their instance it would be difficult to tell them apart from a MAGA forumAt least for now, there are really just a small number of communities on lemmygrad that contain the most obnoxious material. I found that it worked to block:
The views on lemmygrad are very much outside the general acceptable norms for the English speaking internet.
Even if you agree with their views, you must admit that it is very off putting for most people who come to Lemmy.ml.
I think the purpose of a default instance should be to showcase the software, not to showcase the current community (which is dominated by lemmygrad users right now)..
I think either:
- We should have a new default instance.
- Have no default instance.
- Lemmy.ml should stop federating with lemmygrad.
Personally I have been using and promoting Lemmy less because I find the lemmygrad content off putting. I feel a similar way about this content as I did about place like r/thedonald in 2016.
