The world is better than it ever has been since the 1970s. You are too young to know what it was like during the Cold War. We are not even under daily nuclear threats like was used to be. There isn’t a wall across Europe with two Superpowers pointing weapons at each other. Life is really good right now compared to the past.
Mods and admins can remove posts and they don’t stay on the server. If you delete it yourself, then it stays. Comments stay deleted, though and is replaced with a ‘deleted by creator’ message.
The magnets are not pulling it forward.
And they are saying they are cool with that.
Minnesota doesn’t have toes anymore
IT has a ticket in.
It isn’t just on promoted posts, the admins regularly inflate the upvote count and use bor accounts to make the site appear busier than it really is.
Reddit boosts up votes so it appears more popular than it actually is.
Downvoting has far less meaning on lemmy so there are far less downvotes.
In case you’ve not visited the team page. Here is the LW staff.
Exact same experience as a Mastodon user.
Lemmy.world is a server running lemmy software. It’s federated so you can subscribe to lw communities of Mastodon and comment as well. Threads and Mastodon don’t support communities though so all they can do is subscribe and comment. There is no negative to lemmy servers of Threads being federated. Threads users will subscribe to lemmy communities, but stay on Threads. If you’re on a lemmy server it doesn’t change anything. You’ll just see posts and comments with accounts ending with @threads
Because threads doesn’t have communities. All threads people can do it comment.
The thing you don’t get is that more common people will find the lemmy servers for the first time. Additionally it is more of a Twitter clone and doesn’t threaten much.
If you don’t subscribe to threads you’ll never see it.
Threads was a relatively bare-bones app when it launched. It didn’t have many of the features that users had come to expect from other social media apps, such as the ability to post photos or videos, or to add filters or stickers.
