Fuck yeah! Sign me up!
Lemmy hates to admit it, but Lemmy is more Libertarian that Democrat. From the article:
Koch arrived here, in small part, via a San Francisco-based nonprofit called the Seasteading Institute, which promotes “living on environmentally restorative floating islands with some degree of political autonomy.” The vision, as the Institute’s president, the “seavangelist” Joe Quirk, once told Guernica, is “startup societies where people could form whatever kind of community they wanted” — a libertarian-inflected world where, it is said, you could “vote with your boat,” relocating to a community in line with your views.
Sounds familiar? Because that's what Lemmy is all about too.
He looks EXACTLY like how I picture most of the Lemmy posters that argue with me! lolololololololololol
I'm not the mod so I don't know anything about that. But you said, "I noticed you cleaned up some of your mess, I guess it was getting too obvious." I don't know what you are referring to.
Yes, I have two accounts: This one and [email protected] is my main instance. Hilarious Chaos is such a great instance tho, I wanted to throw in my support for them and have a little landing base here. Ya know, just show them my appreciation for the great things they have done for Lemmy.
And you know me; I'm happy to do anything I can to help grow Lemmy and make it great.
As I'm sure you have seen, some people like to go around and just cancel people, silence them, you know... stifle their voices just because their political opinions may be different than others. So anything I can do to liven things up a bit, get some conversations going.
I'm quite confident, that you of all people, know how much we should celebrate difference of opinion and not go around accusing people of being alts, trying to get admins to ban them, etc. There just seems to be so much of that lately. Trying to exclude people. Ban them from the fediverse.
Wouldn't it be crazy if there were someone going to conservatives of reddit, and pointing them to Lemmy and saying stuff like, "Hey guys, let's create do something awesome! Let's equalize Lemmy a bit!! Lemmy needs more conservative voices!"
And then maybe that person works with a large group. They talk about timing. You know, rather than all at once, people just trickle in. Little by little. Maybe become mods of neutral places. Then become mods in more popular communites. Slowly showing more and more conservative voices.
And you know, maybe they start in the friendlier places. Then get a feel for things. Once they know how to do it, spread out to other instances. Sorta change things slowly but surely.
That would be crazy, right? Right? :)
Now I wouldn't know anything about all of that. I think I just saw someone on Lemmy mention a scenario like that. Or was it Reddit? Anyway, they were probably just thinking outloud. I'm sure that wouldn't really happen. Would it? Nah.. of course not.
But I do think Hilarious Chaos is a great little instance. So just wanted to hang my hat there for a bit. You know, just doing my part and helping where I can.
It brings to mind nerds and gamers in basements.
Which is pretty much the main users of Lemmy lol
Servers are a better word for it imo.
Agreed. When I explain Lemmy to my friends I describe instances as "servers."
It's probably too late for that now, but I do think that's a better name
I don't care. So please, keep crying. I'll keep laughing. :)
Then President Vance for ya. Ok?
