Lemmy is bullshit and the people awful. At least Reddit is free, I was donating to the Lemmy developers and paying to host my own social media. I have cancelled both.
A little bit about myself: I am a real person with issues. I was lucky to be able to figure out enough masking skills to hold down a job and have a family but yeah, I'm not normal.
I'm not interested in paying to be harassed by people like "ptz" who are pretending to take a high ground or instances that host communities designed to torment people like lemmy.ca, I'm not interested in random people downvoting my posts on my server for my friends. I'm not interested in people constantly repeating US politics and propaganda. Lemmy fucking sucks, I tried my best to make it better but to be honest, I don't think it is me, it is you.
I appointed a friend as admin for the time being. If she likes it I will consider paying for the hosting.
Good bye, thanks for not fishing.
Hey, I haven't been a user here for long, but I lurked the veganhomecooks subreddit and then this community for a couple of years. I'm sorry you've been getting harassed by the losers on here. For what it's worth I agree with your anti-US sentiment and think the drive-by downvotes are fucking annoying. I find a lot of Lemmitors are simply morons who treat Lemmy as another Reddit and as such it has a lot of similar problems to Reddit.
Either way, thank you for setting this place up. I have enjoyed my time here even if it might not be for long.
Thank you. I think I have a plan. Arcane Potato is going to become the admin and I'm going to defederate lemmy.ca and possibly other generalist instances. I will also purge all liberal communities from being federated including any communities repeating any state propaganda.
