John Brown did nothing wrong
I’ve missed this place a ton. Hope the Lemmy grows as large as it deserves to.
And btw nothing has revealed to me how full of shit Will Menaker is w/r/t the sub more than having to use Left Twitter as my replacement during The Dark Period. Whatever gripes you might have had with the sub, good-faith or otherwise, idk how anyone can spend more than a few hours on both sites without seeing how much more insidious & solipsistic Twitter is. Much rAHther piss my time away here w/ u liberals thank u very much <3
Twitter in general is a hellscape. It’s basically an anti-discussion, anti-solidarity machine where all communication is forced to take the form of reductive shitposts. I use it still because news does travel fast there, but yikes.
100%. The character limit alone makes it impossible for real discussion to happen, and has helped create a platform that’s mostly people trying to out oh-so-clever-quip each other from a detached, insincere and isolated place.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s mostly just good for A) like you touched on, getting news fast (and in the case of left Twitter, outside the framing of msm) and B) having some good quick yuks reading Weird Twitter accounts. But those two small components aren’t really separable from the 90 percent of it that’s awful.
mr discord, your fired
A moment of silence for comrades who did not survive the reddit —> discord —> Lemmy journey

No more chapo discord. Society has progressed past the need for chapo discord
Wassup I fucking hate discord, stoked to finally have a place to post where things don’t disappear into the ether forever after 5 minutes
Whoa there’s no running tally of my upvotes? How am I supposed to know my self worth.
In all seriousness, this site is amazing. Thank you so much to all my beloved comrades who made this possible (despite the lack of a profit motive???). From hexbear, to Moscow time, to the fact that it actually seems to work great so far, to not banning people for opposing slavery… just… chef’s kiss
please god I hope this site blows up, I want that username real estate value
Uhh… Lemmy be here
Feels good to be home, discord is really good but nothing beats the ability to post something that will be visible to more people than the ~40 people who happen to be looking at chat at any given moment.
Best part about the lemmy is that when I registered it had me pick out pictures of trains to prove I was human. Train gang for life.

Sadly I think I read they confirmed a case today.
Obviously it was a defector regretting their decision to leave. So they snuck back in.
