It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

    Everyone complains about it being empty and not many want to do anything about it. I’m not sure if this is even because of the user number, because I’ve been on forums with just a few users that were very active. It often seems like too many people here are waiting for a large influx of users so that others can do the posting. Also people try waaaay too hard to copy Reddit 1:1. They have this one very specific community with certain content and try to copy it here. If there was a subreddit for a 1998 version of an obscure computer game, they want this very same community to exist here. Instead of discussing said game in a more general community.

    Few users. You would notice a very big difference if there were more as you see the number of posts and comments.

    Lemmy? the politics.

    the fediverse? I know I’ve said this like a billion times to the same five people who come on here, but federated platforms still ape the format of big social media platforms, and inherit many of their pitfalls. I want long-term discussion and human connection, not an endless waterfall of content that quickly gets swept away.

    North Korea shill. Seriously. How absolutely dumbfuck do you have to be to actually believe there is even the slightest good in that regime? It hurts me personally that I’m Korean and that I’ve seen countless people, some I’ve met in person, who lost their families in that hellhole. And yet people who can’t even spell Kim Jong Un or Juche are celebrating that prison of a kingdom.

    Nothing about them are “left” or “progressive”. To me, they’re worse than MAGA shitheads.

    Absolutely disgusting. Hope they all rot in North Korea.

    The thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are “hosting” the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.

    Reddit is full of different people with different backgrounds sometimes arguing in a toxic way about politics when it’s somewhat relevant, on a centrally censored platform

    Lemmy is mainly an echo chamber for nerds almost always arguing about politics in a very toxic way on a federated extremely censored platform

    4 times the same post in 4 different identically named communities…
    I want a global feed, communities can federate with in a sort of sub-lemmy.
