That makes sense

6th with 70 monthly active users https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

Piefed.social has 949, piefed.world 222

Other interpretation: you and db0 admins have had disagreements in the past:

• https://sopuli.xyz/post/26484371/16400011?sort=Top
• https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43426671/18476015

Those disagreements are what alter your perception of the instance, which is why they mention them.

Edit: I don’t care about pro or anti-AI, but this seems to be the new division point around here

Just add links to them in your bios

People just install Voyager and use it just fine. Some of them don’t even know what instances they’re on

Most of the negative answers on /r/RedditAlternatives are either botted or bad faith.

Discuit has less than 200 active commenters: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/pJpxdG92

If people find Lemmy dead with 52000 monthly active users, not sure what to think of Discuit

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

And then people leave the community managed by the power tripping mods for another one: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663?scrollToComments=true

That wouldn’t be possible on Reddit, those kind of posts would get removed

A Lemmy admin banning you only prevents you from interacting with communities on their instance.

Only the admins of your home instance can completely ban your account.

Power tripping admins get usually reported on [email protected]

Did you dive in the removals to understand them? They were Tech news posted in the tech community and removed as off topic. Some of them are even posted by other users using different sources.

Was it on [email protected]? Feel free to document the actions on [email protected] . Alternatively, you can use [email protected]

Are you seriously asking?

Yes. LW still doesn’t have ads or AI deals with Google, which Reddit does.

What happens when most instances choose to implement this?

A few instances like lemmy.dbzer0.com are pro-VPNs. Others are pro-Tor. Still, having the option is better than Reddit where you just can’t use VPNs and can’t use another instance.

Try to use any small instance and try to find communities outside Lemmy. World.

I’m currently on a smaller instance and interact with all LW communities just fine. Still, if you want some non-LW communities

So, it’s accepted in your eyes to have a limited privacy here?

Reddit comments are archived in real time by websites like https://www.reveddit.com/ , that’s just due to the nature of a public forum. How would you expect things to work?
