  • There are a lot of great communities on Reddit still. Lemmy users are a self-selected bunch, and one of the things we self-select for is intolerance to the toxicity common on mainstream social media platforms, including Reddit. So we’re safe from a lot of the problems that larger subreddits have to deal with. But there are some excellent niche communities there that would fit in very nicely with the Fediverse.


  • I said something wr9ng about anarchism once here on Lemmy and an extremely friendly user took quite a lot of time to help me educate myself, clarifying my mistake, recommending reading material and engaging me in frank and friendly conversation about the topic.

    On Reddit, I’d either have been upvoted to the sky by people as ignorant as me (or more) or get called a bunch of slurs and told to go fuck myself.







  • None of the choices here are good, but clearly bending over and letting Trump fuck everyone is worse than the alternatives. China is also not going to take this lying down and they have a lot of potential for damaging Trump because so much of the USA’s manufacturing is outsourced there and they can more easily compensate with other partners than Canada can. If Canada, China and Mexico stick to their guns, together, long enough for the American people to do something about this idiot, then things can still work out.
