If you use Reddit, but don’t like the direction it’s going, (more extractive, less user control) Lemmy is a good alternative. Same thing for Instagram or Twitter, pixelfed or mastodon are good alternatives for those. And they have the advantage that it’s harder to make them universally worse in the future, since the infrastructure is more distributed.

For example, I hope you wouldn’t consider planning how to exterminate Jews allowable free speech. There will always be limits on free speech, the question is where your limits are.

You’ll call some things free speech and others not. No instance is going to allow everything. You’d need to create your own instance so it aligns with your views. Then the other instances will decide whether they want your content or whether to defederate.

Lemmy can’t federate with pixelfed yet can it? I know we have some integration with mastodon, but I’m guessing we can’t connect to pixelfed directly yet?

I haven’t seen another stick community. There’s a stick rating Instagram account, but that’s pretty different.

I guess does Lemmy not see comments from non-lemmy yet?

Cheese and sauce. They put extra layers on top.

If I could find a casserole that greasy and full of meat, I’m sure I’d love it too.

It’s an instance mostly based around authoritarian communism. They got banished from Reddit quite a bit before the black out.

I was able to get around that my opening the link in the browser instead of Lemmy.

Not subs, but the entire platform is Reddit can enshitify. More adds, no api, pushing nfts/crypto, etc.

Also, third party apps! I really don’t like the default Reddit app.

Are you familiar with enshitification? Lots of smaller instances people can run themselves holds off the platform enshitifying.

Mostly only the very active users moved over from Reddit, so we have a lot of content for not as many people. But it’s nice how active and invested most people here seem to be.

Boost let’s you see the karma on someone’s account. I only really use it if I think someone is a troll. It’s helpful to know if someone is in the negative karma.

Welcome!

I’m saying the stuff I saw was fully clothed.

That’s why I said there’d need to studies on a causation link for this specifically. I know video games have had those studies done and found that there isn’t a link. So you’d want a similar study for this. But there’s still the accidently stumbling across it issue too.

This has nothing to do with legality or restricting freedoms. It’s about the admins building a forum to the form they’d like to see.

Plus the harm principle is really fuzzy. What level of interaction is the cutoff for harm vs inadvertent impact?

I also think drawn kiddie porn hurts the people who view it inadvertently. I don’t know if there have been studies on a causation link between viewed cp content and sexual preferences towards minors, or causal relationship between that and abuse/grooming. But that’s another possible harm connection.
