MODERATORS
Everyone I know in real life only uses Facebook...
Several lemmings surprisingly.
My brother.
My wife. Hey wait a second, that lamp looks odd....
Not really, but I found out about lemmy and the Fediverse one week ago. I already told about it to 2 people, maybe if you ask me again in a couple of weeks the answer may be different
Why would we? Even Reddit had a secret salute when it was starting, because it was growing slowly. Something social exploding is not the norm, but the result of aggressive marketing, which Lemmy instances can’t afford, and have no need to pay for.
idk a redditor, let alone a lemming
As long as it's small there is no interest in meddling and control by the regime.
Afte witnessing the evolution of so-called 'moderation' and the inherent bias it entails I can say I prefer free speech with all the insults and whatever comes with it over the shithole that Reddit has become.
Deleted commments, banned or ghostbanned for the slightest and bots bots bots.
I don't know any other people that use it, but other people know I use it 😄
I wouldn't be surprised to find a friend, a cousin, and a friend's husband- just because they're all 3 smart, techish, liberal, and news aware.
Yep couple people.
I look in the mirror every morning and yell at that fucking idiot who uses Lemmy. It's my favorite time of the day. :)
no
yes, but we never acknowledge each other outside the application
Yes, the person in the mirror does.
🙃
No. I recommended Lemmy to my friends, and they were all driven away by bad moderation, tankies, or transphobia within a day. They think I'm mad for using this site and surrounding myself with the people here.
