I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Id say that the obvious answer is the Linux community with the most members. [email protected] has more than double the number of subscribers of the next most active Linux community.
But then you’re on .ml
.ml is okay to discuss Linux, the overlap between the two communities makes sense
The overlap between authoritarians and Linux?
Well I suppose North Korea does run the closed source RedStarOS.
I meant hardcore leftists
Oh like me?
Yeah we do overlap with Linux, the tankies however don’t.
what makes you think they are authoritarian?
Because we all know how tankies are, so stop acting coy.
Maybe you should go conquer some bread instead of trying to defend maoists and stalinists.
Why does the this ignorant speech infest so many threads? No one gives a shit and any keyboard warrior crap you’re doing in your free time isn’t going to change anything going on in the world.
An opinion based on knowledge can hardly be called ignorant.
But if you’re having a bad day, hopefully that lil outburst helped you release some tension.
You used a word salad of all the words the most anger ridden posts are filled with. That’s all I was pointing out.
no one is defending maoists or stalinists.
You’re saying no one on .ml defends maoists and stalinists???
I bet nutomic has Che as their avatar for no reason at all.
parentis_shotgun posts in juche_gang on reddit for irony?
>You’re saying no one on .ml defends maoists and stalinists???
no, i’m saying no one here is.
and i don’t think it’s a major theme of there linux community either.
You don’t need an account on lemmy.ml to subscribe to any community there. For example, I run my own self-hosted instance and none of the communities I’m subscribed to are from my own instance.
Oh I meant more that you’re interacting with them.
Sure unless your instance is defederated, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation
It makes me feel like I should be making the post to multiple communities, but then I feel like I’m spamming
It does kinda suck being defederated from big instances like lemmy.ml because there are big communities there, but at the other end it’s nice to have alternatives on different instances. For example, I can’t view [email protected] but I can access [email protected].
The PDev version is better anyway.
I have a few communities that are still on .ml, I forgot you guys were defederated, maybe I should move them elsewhere
Hopefully defederation will happen less and less with 19.X allowing users to block instances themselves
Yeah I think there needs to be more options though, for admins and for users. Like conditional caching or proxying of images from other instances.
And not just blocking instances but choosing to block all the users from an instance without blocking their communities, or only blocking their comments not their posts. Also admins should be able to set default blocks that all the users get but can change individually
That would be nice indeed, but with the development rhythm, it might take a while to get there. Sublinks on the other hands seems promising sublinks.org
And you’ll eventually get banned from it for not praising Stalin hard enough
Spoken like somebody who knows nothing about what they are saying.
Literally spoken as a leftist who has gotten bans for not being a Maoist bootlicker. My accounts with this name across multiple instances are the on a short leash for daring to question ML dogma.
If you don’t insert politics into normal conversations and you value relationships more than you value being right (left) then this should not be an issue.
Stay away from the political communities and don’t feel like you need to correct people when they spout out political bullshit.
But I want to discuss politics and worldnews. I’m just not allowed, because wrongthink.
Then keep it in the politics and news communities, and don’t be surprised when you are kicked. You don’t go protesting at the KKK meeting expecting to change minds just like you don’t try to go to [email protected] expecting to change minds. If you are looking for real discussion then don’t go to a community that is hostile to the discussion you want to have.
