I’m happy to see this community is bigger than the Reddit equivalent (lemmy.ca)

No billionaire shenanigans to get in the way of having a truly open-sourced phone.

Lemmy definitely beats reddit at several things: it is more left, more queer, more nerdy, and even more obsessed with reddit.

Yep i would even go as far as to say lemmy has the better piracy sub too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I was the idiot that made that happen. (◕‿◕) r/piracy entirely migrated off of Reddit, and instead of failing with an Aether migration, it was a success with Lemmy.

I thought you helped migrate r/privacy ? (I might be misremembering) .

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

No, piracy.

Well, maybe privacy too lol, because I ran r/privatelife to counter the Reddit privacy cabal nonsense, and as soon as I announced a full migration to and primary platform being Lemmy, r/privacy became completely shit, and r/PrivacyGuides was abandoned by mods/admins for lemmy.one PG instance.

I also helped make c/datahoarder atleast an official alternative for r/datahoarder community.

Don't forget the pretty ui. I have a crush on Alexandrite.

The crazy thing is, I left Reddit because I thought I'd miss Boost for Reddit too much after the APIcalypse and now that we have Boost for Lemmy I've already became too used to Voyager to care lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is Boost proprietary? Because then it's a good thing that you switched.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yes but jerboa looks absolutely similar to boost tho as its based on boost maybe they should try jerboa which is foss if they like boost ui.

Yeah clearly I had noticed that you’re not really allowed to be in favor of everything left (which is really different in every country) or queer.

I’m not in favor if homophobia or racism, but I’d also want everyone to be able to reasonably express an opinion without being completely destroyed..

Edit: I wanted to say not allowed to not be in favor..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's certainly true, there is a definite mob mentality surrounding certain topics.

However, I had reasonable success having actual discourse on controversial topics by presenting proper arguments, sticking strictly with a respectful and calm tone, and of course having some scientific links to reference for certain positions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah me too but sometimes I’m scared of not being able to say anything against the general opinion on Lemmy.

Especially about LGBT topics where I can feel like it’s clearly not welcome even if you’re just expressing yourself calmly and in a peaceful way while trying to understand everyone’s opinion.
