Also, Reddit may have corporate enshittification, but Lemmy has tankie enshittification, which is arguably far more dangerous to us both. After seeing all the political stuff here before the USA election, promoting genocide bc that would lead to destabilization of Western society, I’m somewhat soured on it as well. I don’t know the likelihood, but if I am literally killed in the next several years, shot by either rioters / protestors or the backlash from law enforcement, it will be primarily because of disinformation campaigns on both traditional and social media platforms that are directly and 100% to blame (tbf, probably Lemmy is too small to have had much of a direct effect:-).
And likewise if Canada (and/or Greenland and Panama, etc.) are annexed by the USA, it will be bc the voting populace knows only what the authoritarians have deigned to allow them access to be able to know - which yeah fuck spez, but they do like 1/10000000th of the amount of filtering that Lemmy.ml does. And now even Lemmy.World seems to want to force mods to allow “flat earth” style comments?
TLDR: nothing’s perfect. We try to live in spite if it all. But yeah if there’s something I can do to be more friendly to people on this sub - I guess those using Connect? - then I will try to do so. Thanks for letting me know if that’s the source of the issue for you, bc again with all of the methods I’ve ever used personally, I’m still not seeing what you are seeing.
(a part 2 I guess, if it’s not too annoying?:-)
