Yes, unfortunately Lemmy has gone like Voat - only the “extreme” (generalising) have stuck around. Hopefully something new will arise to displace Reddit and capture its mainstream users.

an inalienable concept as free speech
Free speech is not an “inalienable” concept. To be honest, the adjective “inalienable” doesn’t well describe a “concept”, more “right” or a “privilege”. Nobody can take away a concept from you, only the exercise or realisation of that concept.
That said, the Lemmy dev’s code of conduct is not a binding document, and given their political views, I wouldn’t even bother opening it if I was adminning my own instance. And nobody owes you your freedom of speech - if an instance decides to enforce the rule “no talking about politics on Wednesdays”, nobody has any right to anything else. Preference, sure, but right? No.
I genuinely scrolled up to double check the post wasn’t about an Oniom article or something. Unreal callousness.
Rent free, it’s incredible. There are plenty of places to shit on the nightmarish US prison system. This thread is for shitting on the nightmarish Chinese prison system.
I’ve seen a few people doing it, but I (and literally any companies scraping instances for content) just lol and move on.
Oh oops, you haven’t pasted some cool copyleft licence below your words on this niche thread on a niche social media network so looks like I might remix and reuse your content without attribution… Unlucky
Surely his will is neither here nor there once the copyright lapses?
It’s not thriving. The devs are prickly arseholes, which is anathema to building a cooperative, volunteer-driven dev community and the tone of many mainstream communities is obnoxiously set by tankies amd their alts.
Bots are a fact of life, unfortunately.
Honestly the Lemmy main devs just aren’t that great amd their hardline ideology pushes away plenty of potential help.
Don’t be stupid about it, don’t get greedy. Just give yourself a little discount to offset some of the recent bullshit price inflation and portion shrinkage.
Think of the shareholders! The economy! And the (already fucked) social contract?!
There’s surely appetite building around the world for this. Who will throw the first stone that starts the landslide?
Thieve from big corpos. Don’t feel bad about it. They don’t.
Great whataboutism, tankie scum. No shit the US does some truly fucked up shit. Nobody realistically thinks their government is a paragon of virtue. Just that the Chinese government does fucked up shit as well. Both can be true, bootlicker.
A spectacularly unhelpful comment. Literally worse than shutting the fuck up. At least you removed all doubt, buddy.
Eastern Europe, perhaos. Not really anywhere else in europe.
You should do what your users want. Growth in users for the sake of “line goes up” is a faulty attitude. Dozens of users sounds like a community of good faith users, very nice. You do you!
