They’re Frodo Douche Baggins. Not much point in feeding them.

The whole point of federation is that there is no “most active” one. The servers all federate with each other. I don’t have to be on lemmy.world to see its posts. The show up just fine in the All tab on my instance.

Sincerely, leftist pacifist

Why are you a pacifist? All rights are won through violence.

As for your assertion on the origins of rights, that’s absolute bullshit. The vast majority of worker’s and other civil rights have been won via peaceful protest.

The history of society is the history of class struggle. Those rights were earned through struggle, not through asking nicely.

That, and the conversations move far faster there. Any remark about anything moves the subject further up, and you’re essentially subjected to reading the comments section of the entire sub all at once when you just came for the memes.

It’s the difference between asynchronous and synchronous mediums of communication. Lemmy is much closer to async, and Discord much closer to sync. No medium is ever going to be able to square that circle. You can’t have both.

There’s a reason all irl votes are private.

That’s odd. I can see my representatives’ voting records plain as day.

Because in real life, it’s (relatively) easy to have both anonymity and trust.

It’s cute that people still believe this.

Hot take: Public voting records are good actually.

TikTok remains ascendent

Which is a damn shame, because it’s unusable for literally anything other than sharing alienated, one-off videos. TikTok are masters at keeping people inside their app and nowhere else.

Discord is probably the tool best-suited to capture users’ social needs right now. It’s definitely the best Reddit alternative we have.

Sure, Discord chats are great, particularly for smaller communities/IRL friends. But as an alternative to subreddits or classic forums they’re absolute rubbish. Lemmy seems to be the only real game in that town for now.

Every time I see “to learn more, come hang with us in our Discord,” I die a little. Discord is a chat application. It isn’t meant to be a repository of knowledge for your app/service. That’s what your website is for. And it’s not a substitute for a proper knowledgebase or documentation either.

You gotta pay for it, but I’ve found it worth paying for so far.
