Fuck I love the "ok" as deny reason...so simple, so beautiful.

Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.

It's less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.

At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.

When I realized it was that dude who tried signing up to my instance I lost my shit laughing, if he was screened prior it's obvious he wouldn't have gotten in. This is precisely what happens when you focus on growth over organically cultivating a healthy community.

I have no proof but I think lemmy.world will be monetized at some point.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If that is true in any way whatsoever, that is a completely moronic long term goal. Lemmy devs themselves have encouraged instances who do such a thing to defederate. I don't see how realistically advertising or monetization would be done not only without immense privacy concerns that would likely affect the rest of the fediverse but without major protests and mass defederation. The backlash against it would be immense, not just on lemmy but across the fediverse itself.

Lemmy is like every social medium since the dawn of time: a cross-section of humanity... the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Are we going to find Ollie North's gold?

That is legitimately one of the most disgusting things I've read, what is wrong with this person, why would he write that as an application.

It came after I was arguing with weirdo antisemites in c/atheistmemes so I assume it was because of that but I have no idea and don’t really care to know that much

At least he was stopped at the registration level, it likely wouldn't have been pretty if he was allowed to run wild there like he did on other places.

this world is not ready for two based gabes existing at the same time

What if we got a bunch of Josh's to fight?
