Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
It's in several spots, people basically saying "I've had a solid time except for all these nasty russian bots that we will soon outnumber!"
No way an American disagrees with you, or anyone else of an Approved Nationality! No, it must be a pesky ruskie who managed to reach a computer despite not having any paved roads!
I’m not here to judge anyone’s opinions but to clearly state the facts. And the fact is: at least one of the admins of the largest lemmy server considers anti-CCP/Russia sentiment/argument to be harmful and worthy of a ban. That is their decision.
Are we going to have to put up with insufferable nerds like this or can we still :PIGPOOPBALLS: at them until they submit to our wisdom and erudition?
On a slightly more serious note; Does anyone on Lemmy actually want us, or understand what they're going to get when we join up?
Well lemmygrad banned me for calling an insufferable atheist an insufferable atheist so the rules might require being more nice to dillweeds than I'm capable of.
I went and found that forum because one of their lost liberals was here trying to be noticed and it's like reddit gamer essence distilled down to the purest form
At this point, if someone has "@beehaw.org" after their username, I expect their comment to be total lib garbage, to the point that I'm genuinely surprised when it isn't (very rare).
They are really mad about the admin team banning people for being hostile and racist

I think we can be quite derisive as long as we are careful about precisely how we do it.
For the incoming wave of Redditors, I think our existence has flown under the radar.
