Their bullshit AMA about third party apps and general “it’ll all blow over in a week” attitude should’ve made that apparent to more people. It’s why I left as soon as RIF stopped working, and why many of us are here now.

I’ll never give that shitshow of a website any traffic again

Q: why? Is August 19th yet another supposed apocalypse I’ve mysteriously survived through? 'Cos tbh as a millennial I’m tired of these, there’s been so many

31 and love Limp Bizkit. Though I’m also a poster child for “it never was a phase, mom” (still listen to emo music + am still as gay as I was in the early 2000s)

…to clarify not implying that Limp Bizkit is emo, it just happened (happily) to be included in the music I was listening to at the time

Yeah. If it was possible to pirate food I wouldn’t feel so bad about being so poor

Not to mention the comparison between watching a movie at home, where you know it will be silent, versus the risk of having at least one (but often more) groups of people who will not shut the fuck up the whole time.

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t call Beehaw “too liberal”, though I don’t personally see being “for freedom” as a bad thing - you’re definitely right. It’s more about the moderation tools and being able to separate opposing points of view from relevant communities

…and in case I have not made it perfectly clear I think the fact that Nazis still exist in the information age is absolutely fucking absurd

The admins of beehaw are more Liberal (if you are anywhere in the LGBTQIA+ space the other side’s content is largely considered offensive enough to defederate from) and presumably the other way around.

Annoyingly I guess it all comes around to politics and which side of history you want to be on. Personally I’m all for letting other people be in charge of whatever the fuck they want to do with their life - to an extent - but context matters

Boozilla’s comment explains in better detail and I 100% recommend a read to gain a better understanding. Basically the moderation tools on Lemmy aren’t quite up to stuff yet
