Thanks for calling this out. I will stop posting content to lemmy.ml. What is the next best alternative to lemmy.world? I have nothing against lemmy.world, but would like to spread out content to different sites.

so there’s no simple way to block huge swaths of content you’re not interested in — like sports, or politics.
The simple way is to show only the groups you have subscribed to.
But yes I do like Usenet’s organizational hierarchy.
Or we just ignore Threads until they fix this fatal flaw.
There are 2 kinds of people who get banned. People who actually deserve it and people who get rando-bans. A rando-ban is something you have no control over. It is caused by things like unwritten rules, nonsensical rules, or the unpaid intern mods having a bad day. Things that a warning could have easily taken care of. Lemmy cannot give you a rando-ban, but if you actually deserve a ban than multiple people can come together and do it.
My first rando-ban on reddit was posting too much content from the Washington Post. Even though I was only posting about 1 article per month I was “spamming”. It is wonderful knowing that on lemmy/kbin I can finally start submitting content again without risking a rando-ban.
I don’t give a crap about the API. Reddit’s system of rando-bans are a fatal flaw to its usefullness.
When you click on “list of communites”. An option to default to “subscribed”. I never just want to see “local”.
Users can post whatever they want. But anytime mods are dicks I hope that people call them out. So that if it is something I post to I can switch to another group.
Which specific communities on lemmy.ml are you referring to?
I think we are gonna find a lot of bad stuff.
I think we are going to find a lot of smart stuff from Albert Einstein and George Orwell.
forget what you said
So you want us to forget Albert Einstein and George Orwell? Is this your slogan? lmfao.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
Albert Einstein and George Orwell both said that socialism is good. The 2 smartest people of the 20th century. And they were talking about real socialism, not the GOP’s propaganda depiction meaning anything that billionaires elites do not like.
I use Google Shopping. While Google is centralized, its merchant network is decentralized and I often find things that I can’t on Amazon.
kbin.social works fine for me. I use it in addition to old.lemmy.world.
This is a big one for me.
