RedWizard

You think they're going to take over lemmygrad, or hexbear? The thing about federation is that you can avoid the outcome you're talking about by only federating with communities that share our values.

I guess you have to ask yourself, are we spreading ideas and looking to chip away at the predominant hegemony, or do we want to self isolate?

One of the nice things about lemmy.ml is that it starts from a far left perspective and as a result of reddits own unmaking, places normies in a position of no longer being the predominant opinion in the room.

This has two outcomes from what I can guess:

1. Normies show up in droves, and their perspectives shift as a result of having to defend their point of view for once.
2. Normies show up, but leave because they can't handle not being able to call forth the shibaliths they're so accustom to, and having their points of view challenged on equal grounds.

You gotta get the normies on the network for the network effect to take off!

I've seen that too.

What would forking do? The code has no ideology.

It's not about making the user leave, because of they know they are banned they'll try to evade. Shadow banning gives the desired effect while not tipping off the user. So they post away, to nobody.

Imagine doing something like this and not even being employed by Reddit. I can only imagine this is reddit admins doing.

I think Tusky is pretty good, and my understanding is it's built by former Twitter client devs (I forget which one, not the official app).

I know I've been looking to be better about weekly meal prep. It'd be cool to have a place to colab on that.

No one chooses to be homeless. You don't sleep in your car outside a gym by choice. Having a cheap gym membership is a common survival tactic for people in that position. Gives them access to showers and bathrooms. These are not the "retire to a camp ground with my RV" types.

The reality is, our society chooses to allow that level of poverty to be maintained.
