I built a Pwnagotchi but I haven’t cracked any of it’s handshakes yet.

“Self-host” is just a euphemism for “pirate” right? …Right?

Lemmy only really became usable for me after I blocked certain instances/communities. Tbh if I wasn’t permabanned from Reddit I probably would have quit early on and went back to Reddit.

This wasn’t because of UX. It’s was because some of the most active and highly upvoted instances that had posts hit All constantly were full of terrible people and idiots.

However now that I realize how powerful that is to be able to block whole instances and curate your experience and realize that it’s basically impossible to Permaban someone from Lemmy, I’m enjoying it a lot more.

If you don’t have an answer and just want to debate what is or is not freedom of speech, feel free to move on to another thread.

What happened to “freedom of speech”, eh bud?

Freedom of speech never existed and as a rule can never exist. It’s an idea that has never been and will never be a reality. This is not to agree or disagree with whatever speech you don’t want censored. There is no place/time/environment where you can say whatever you want without some form of consequences from some subset of people.

Freedom of speech is and has always been a fantasy.

Freedom of speech? No such thing anywhere.

I’m finding the iOS app buggy as heck. It just crashes as soon as I open it. Had to delete it. May try again later.

I’m like your friend. F— leftists and f— conservatives. I’m a hard core liberal and y’all can suck my d—.

I find lemm.ee is better than most but yeah as others have said, since everything is federated and the majority mass of users are hardcore leftists there’s no way to really avoid them. Just get used to the downvotes and easily offended snowflakes and instabans and hope that as more people leave the mainstream social medias for federated socials that these people will be watered down.
