I’ve only been on Lemmy a few days and i can already tell i like it, but can understand the frustration in figuring out what an instance is, or what a federation is. But i personally have used linux for years, i’m a huge nerd, and i hate the way places like Reddit and facebook are owned by republican idiots who refuse to let people talk poorly about the orange cult leader.

Nah thats not a frustration, just your ego settling down. Real frustration is realizing most instances die or have shit registration functions, along with most having unfamiliar names that you’ll also have to remember. Most apps have been a nightmare with this, genuinely just say fuck it and dont even care about this account.
The federation system is cool but not unique, its just what all servers have been doing and now theres a choice being handed to the user as well. It doesn’t really defeat a centralized system.
I always though about something like folding at home but for a social media. Essentially the same thing as a centralized network, but with a scheduled ‘decay’ as main issue for large sites is the actual horde of content. Text based instances could have longer decay time with a refresh basis for visits. With an archival option for regular post, and a trend option for porn-centric instances.
Porn often exploit and subverts most services like this however I think it is a very influential thing that cannot be banned nor freely allowed. However, one can only really generalize so much about porn - but it is a strong way for those in power to subscribe others to their ideals. So noticing trends like the porn hub chart is important. Someone should study 4chan porn trends since 2012 to now. Huge dynamic shift in thread titles alone. All that free fox marketing of the fappening really got their target demographic hooked and the later pepe dogwhistle. Hooboy.

shit registration functions
… and there are some shit moderators here, just like on Reddit
… and there are some really high-value communities here, because of really good moderation – just like on Reddit

Reddits transformation into a Nazi sympathizing shithole was remarklably swift. Don’t get me wrong, that place was going downhill the second they decided their user base was a product, but it pivoted from generic corporate advertising shithole to fascist friendly nuclear waste pit with remarkable speed. So many micro pud incels willying to volunteer for the brown coats, it’s disgusting.

Their heavy “anti violence” push is directed at shutting down dissenters of the current American regime. You can post all the horrific violent things iCE and the admin are doing to your hearts content but if you so much as “hope” an ice agent or Temu Hitler does, some jackboot licking Nazi sympathizing mod comes to remove your post, because hoping that an evil person dies is apparently the same as violence.
They’re eagerly chugging Goebbels cock at the mere thought of an extra dollar, because they’re Nazi sympathizing capitalist scum. The only thing they deserve is a bullet in the Brain and an unmarked grave in a corn field so they can be useful for once in their miserable existence.
