Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 month agoI mean tell me you think lemmy.world is contributing to the world haha.
I literally don’t know, because federation issues over the last 12 months or so have meant I never see their content in my feed. But before that? Yes, it definitely was. Certainly more than ML and hexbear. Or Reddit.

Really? you think that it’s on the whole good and wouldn’t be better if replaced by a system of smaller, more topic focused networks where administrators have less access to user data and less ability to control conversation? Where infrastructure was less vulnerable to single point failure?
Do you remember what irc, xmpp, and bss’s were like? Or were they before your time. One angry admin on lemmy.world could compromise ~170k users and they’re large enough that they could also distribute malicious files to like half a million computers. That is so obviously not good I feel completely baffled that you don’t see the problem.
