That would be great if anyone was actually attemping to reclaim pepe, but in practice, more often than not, the red flags are right.

Thank you for proving my point

People who use it are either using it as a way of displaying that they’re bigots, or they don’t care about the association with bigots.

There’s not really any positive way to use it, so it’s a giant red flag whenever I see it.

In the day, nothing matters!

I use PieFed rather than lemmy as my default these days, but the answer is the same for both. I love that they’re community driven, community hosted federated spaces that let people find the experience they want, and that they’re strongly resistant to corporate takeover and centralisation.

What I don’t like so much is the increase in debate bro type folk that are slowly drifting over from reddit. Of course, they’re at least partly dealt with by the things I mentioned earlier, but still, I wish we could undo some of the in your face debating attitudes that people have been trained to default to by toxic social media

I don’t like there is no way to get notification (subscribe to) a post to see new replies that come in after I’ve read the post for the first time…

I’ve moved to PieFed now as my default instance instead of lemmy, and this is one of the main reasons why! And you can do it at the community level as well, to be notified when a new post is made to a given community

The best tip I can give you is to get rid of windows, and, well, you’ve already done that :)

As you wish!!!

The Twelve Apostles are much more impressive than Pancake Rocks IMO

Come on, pancake rocks though!

The airport “Marriott” in Santiago de Chile. That place was a hole, and a tiny one at that.

There’s no one size fits all answer. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

We bypass the issue. We use DJI mini mics, which allow you to connect multiple mics to a single base receiver, and that receiver appears as a stereo sound source.

like madlad, woosh, etc

I haven’t used Reddit for years, and I have no idea about those terms. If they’re a Reddit thing, I don’t recognise them.

Lemmy is also less tolerant of debate bros.

So yeah, they’re different

I’ll eat pineapple on pizza, but not on a burger.

I’ll eat beetroot on a burger, but not on pizza.

Pineapple is the reason I don’t order burgers with the lot.

Chaos. I grab eggs at random, without consideration for symmetry!

Why does the general attitude on Lemmy seem to lean toward more censorship and silencing of speech

Because “censorship” in this context is a weasel word. What people complaining about censorship really want, is the ability to be more openly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic etc. What people pushing back against that want is less bigotry.

But because the bigots can’t own their bigotry, they hide behind “censorship” and not having enough “free speech”.

This is literally youtube saying “The president says that hating on folks is ok, and we will make more money by aligning with that”. It’s not them taking a stance on free speech, because they still block stuff that costs them money. They still demonetise or block things that are supportive of LGBT folk for the flimsiest of reasons, none of which they would do if censorship or free speech were their reasoning.

This has nothing to do with “censorship” and everything to do with a deliberate attempt not to increase free speech, but to shift “allowed” speech to the right

I wear clipons, because I need prescription glasses, and having to swap from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses back and forth multiple times a day is an ADHD recipe for losing an expensive pair of glasses.

I take my clipons off indoors though, but that’s mostly because it’s really hard to see indoors with them on :P
