  • Mastodon needs a way of automatically populating your feed for new users, like the “All” button does here on Lemmy if your instance has done the work.

    I consider myself somewhat technology literate and I got frustrated/bored after trying on my phone to find popular accounts elsewhere to follow on the smaller instance I signed up on. Still stuck with an empty feed, but mostly out of laziness*. New users don’t stand a chance.









  • I think we should always care about mass genocide on specific cultural groups, the world cared about the Holocaust, or is that a “who cares” for that one too?

    This is doubly true when a fascist regime is doing everything they can to pretend like it’s not happening.

    Just like I care about police brutality, and the mass Graves in Canadian schools, also because local governments are trying somewhat to cover them up. I also care about the genocide that happened in the 1900s in the Congo.

    Isn’t it crazy that I can care about human suffering?? Empathy is a wild thing.








  • I get that of course, but a lot of people are going to be put off that the main dev is a genocide denier, there’s no way around that. I’ve seen mastodon posts of activists specifically telling people to not use Lemmy for that reason. In fact it’s equivalent to the attitude I see around here of people saying we need to silence fascists at all costs. They just see it as a scarlet mark on the whole endeavor.

    We need a way to answer that while making people aware Lemmy is designed so that it doesn’t matter.

    I recognize my post didn’t really convey that. I dunno, I’m not terribly charismatic.
