Can be a post, content, good, bad, or otherwise. Something unique to us.

    Reflexively being for or against (usually against) something based on certain keywords in the title independent of the content of the article itself. It could even be good news - doesn’t matter. If it’s about the wrong thing it’s bad news.

    Don’t @ me, but I soak in the drama of Best of Redditor Updates and the fediverse isn’t quite suited to sagas like that yet.

    But the guy who needed to not shit for 3 days made it over there. So that feels pretty noteworthy.

      It’s one of my favourite subreddits just because I like having “real” stuff to read. I was wondering recently if we should just make a community for reposting the best r/BORU posts to Lemmy? And then, assuming Lemmy gets big enough, we’ll already have a spot for posting the best of Lemmy updates too.

        there’s already a !bestofredditorupdates@lemmit.online but a lot of instances block lemmit for being bot content since their whole purpose is to repost reddit content which like. bots are actually super useful for that kind of thing. A LOT of users don’t seem to understand that they personally have the power to set instance blocks for their own account. so instead they push for defeds when like. just block the instance from your settings. it’s a checkbox. it’s not complicated! Sometimes I worry that all the defeds will create little insular echo chambers when the whole point of fedi is diversity.

    • About half are Americans, about half are in non-US Western countries, 5% other
    • everyone here hates the current US admin
    • everyone uses adblockers
    • everyone is anti-surveillance (except like 1 or 2 users you find occasionally defending mass surveillance that get downvoted into oblivion)
    • everyone is either a Marxist Leninist, Left Anarchist, Social Democrat, or Democratic Socialist, except like a handful of liberals and like 2 conservatives
    • almost everyone here supports vigilantism
    • Germans… Germans Memes Everywhere
    • BEANS
    • Frequently, you get extreme CCP shills falsely accusing you of Sinophobia, and simultaneously some are actually some closeted Sinophobes.

    • !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is VERY unique both in content and in what gets posted.
    • Almost everyone running Linux (or at least it seems like it 😉)
    • Pretty diverse where people are at location-wise. Feels like early internet instead of services trying to bubble you into your place/content.

    Im sure there are others. Looking forward to what everyone else says!

    …Also Beans. Yeah didn’t expect that.

    A much more selective user base. People are very picky in what they upvote. I feel like in the Spez pool people upvoted or downvoted and would comment a lot easier. Here people vote with 3 options. Up, down or not. Feels much more deliberate. Also means you get a lot less comments (despite there being less users), because people follow the Bambi principle more here (if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all)

    AND, I think there are some fediverse issues with the various clients and the fact that language is per post setting, hindering discovery.

      I always felt on R that if you commented, most of the time, it goes down a black hole. You come into something “late” and no one sees your comment. No up/down votes at all. Which can feel very bad if you spent a lot of time on your response.

      I like that “Bambi principle”. Thats a good way of putting it.

    Your mention of unix_surrealism is a good point, it really is quite a unique community.

    Also for me, the 3 day no poop question will forever be deeply tied to lemmy. It only unfolded days after I first joined, and I believe it was the first big piece of lemmy lore.

      Its nice to recognize say Blase (with his super sonic profile) where he is hanging around in.

      Most communities only have one user so this checks out /s

      What kind of communities are you talking about?

        Mostly niche interest ones. Especially when there’s multiple communities for that interest. It’s hard to point a finger at one but I think the last one I looked at was dubstep. I check the sidebar, only one mod. I check their user page, they’re only moderating one comm. The odds of them being a terminally online psycho are greatly reduced than if they’re moderating 10+ comms.

        Not that comms with multiple mods are at all bad, or moderators operating a cluster of comms. It’s just not the same instant green flag as when there’s only 1-3. This is kind of why I like the current size fediverse is at. Like, I know people want it to grow but there’s something kind of nice about small communities
