I personally prefer the two devices. Keeps my work live separate from my personal life.

You believe what you want to. Nothing I say is going to convince you, random internet person.

I had used reddit since the near beginning, and over time the prevalence of ‘alternative facts’ and other right-wing narratives has risen sharply. You also have communities like r/conservative that participate in open calls to violence and perpetuate right wing dogwhistles for maximum rage bait. The sheer slide of r/politicalcompassmemes going from people role-playing different ideologies to thinly-veiled alt-right propaganda speaks to this shift.

Catering to conservatives and right wing players results in the enshittification of the website.

Allowing racists and fascists a seat at the table under the guise of ‘fairness’ or ‘free speech’. Reddit became polluted with far-right astroturfing in the last six years.

It is not tolerance to welcome those persons who seek to harm you.

It’s not ‘Lemmy users’. It’s normal people.

Normal people hate Andrew Tate like any other con-man and charlatan. The fans of Tate are pathetic little boys looking for a shortcut through life, and Tate says you can get that bag by disrespecting others and ultimately treating half the population as property.

Normal folk hate scum, and Tate is scum.

So far the largest challenge I’ve found is customizing my Lemmy feed. Gotta really put in some work blocking communities until the stuff that’s not relevant to me is filtered out.

Not sure, I’ve had to block communities and users individually. Not sure why futa/furry/hentai/AI porn are default.

When my nerve pain rose to the point that I lost the use of my leg, I invested in a shower chair.

Now that I’m rehabilitated, I still use the shower chair because it’s absolutely delightful to just chill with good posture in the warm shower.

Gross

I replaced every comment I ever made with a protest message.

Yall are navigating waters that you probably have little professional experience with. Keep at it and don’t get discouraged.

Conservatives have no platform aside from opposing and dismantling other platforms.

A lot of things are carcinogenic. Benzene from automobile exhaust is carcinogenic.

The exposure determines the risk. You would need substantial quantities to increase your cancer risk.

Anyone have a solid how-to for the layman to host their own lemmy instance? I heard it improves browsing a lot.

Seriously. They expect 30% growth? They can afford a few salaries.
