First: allow me to welcome all new members of LEMMY.
Seriously, whatever flavor you are federating from. And pardon me I have not read this entire thread of replies but I hope it is full of nothing but welcome!
Not all of Lemmy is political. A lot is though, so I can imagine that it may seem charged.
But what’s really happening here is that everything is… transparent. That’s why I’m here. If there is bias, it’s visible.
The trouble with the corporate alternatives is that their hidden bias is: control. Pardon the politics even here, but the fact is our society has never reflected a situation where one group exercises dictatorial control over almost everyone with complete immunity.
Because with all their creepy animated emoji things and predictive analytics they are putting folks asleep. Wake, work, isolate, Sleep. This is the bias of corporate social media. Emphasis on isolate.
So… welcome…
And enjoy. It’s nice to be a part of a place where people are more awake.
But under all interactions should be the vibe that we all in this together.
So welcome. Enjoy. Find you place and your people. Ignore posts that alarm or annoy you.

It’s gotten to the point here at Lemmy that I’m wanting to set up my two favorite communities. It’s just that they are so niche I can’t imagine them taking off. And my pleasure in them is of course derived from people who are FAR MORE into them than I am.
But I can’t even go back to that cesspool Reddit now even for the good stuff. Oh well.

I arrived at LEMMY after what I think we very optimistically called the Reddit Collapse. We wish. And I had toe in LEMMY and a few others at Reddit.
Recently with their abusively patronizing redesigning and gamification and just ugly bullshit, I can’t stomach Reddit at all. So LEMMY grows increasingly important, not just to me but to folks who haven’t yet even heard of it.
So, I’ll just say thanks for your post here. I have, I confess, engaged with a couple bullies on LEMMY and I always try to say… I don’t like to do this on LEMMY— and I say that precisely for the reasons you mention.
And as you encourage: I will try to be kinder, even in when feeling… hmm… less than kind.

And now do the same people see it as a vehicle that could possibly dismantle corporate social media hegemony?

Totally agree. Just the first time I have seen the notation.

Hmph… I chose to see it as: LET ME, and I shall persist in this.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been educated.

So… when there is some controversy over an article in Lemmy it gets the strike though? How did this evolve?
