i like piefed because it's not owned by a publicly traded company with massive ai deals, there's fewer terfs, and shonky > snoo

I don't yet, but it's getting closer.

One reason is on me. I should choose a different instance because mine is the other side of the world from me! Different vibe. I probably haven't moved because I enjoy experiencing local views which oppose and align with my own. Conversely, In the community context, I follow "fuck_ai" and some of the pro-AI communities because it's important to me to see both sides of this revolution develop.

The second is that quite a few of the Reddit communities have limited Lemmy presence with significant momentum. That will hopefully change with time and other platforms willing.

On the flip side, I've found that there are many communities which have momentum which I joined on Lemmy for fun that I haven't investigated as to whether they exist in Reddit. My interests are eclectic and transient sometimes. Perhaps my sense of wonder will wilt one day (that alliteration sounded better in my head; damn!).

The anti AI communities sure are very vocal

Pretty sure the anti steam power or electricity people were too.

I'm a strange bugger, I like to hear both sides of an argument and especially the corner cases. That never seems to happen anymore.

"I don't agree with you."
"Your cancelled."

Yeah. Most of it is ranting but very occasionally someone says something interesting or someone from the pro- side makes something known that isn't very pro- (copyright breaches etc).

I enjoy not having corporate censorship deciding what I can and can't see or say; not that I comment or post that much.

Reddit is intolerant against atheists. You can't speak out againist the pain, suffering, hate, murder, slavery, and genocide from world religions without people in those religions reporting you for hate speech.

Bluesky is just as intolerant against atheists.

Religions and the religious make up stealth blasphemy laws, when they can't directly implement them. They don't want people pointing out how their religious hate hurts everyone, it makes them look bad.

Somehow, Lemmy is the best choice for speaking out against these hateful religions, and the hateful people that support them.

Not so sure that would be very different here

It seems however that Lemmy is pretty anti religion

[โ€“] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

the difference is that there isn't just one instance of Lemmy that bans you from the entirety of Lemmy. Antisemites are free to make their own instances as are israelites or communists.

Sure but some instances like to defederate, so you get cut off from the rest

[โ€“] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

most federate on a blocklist not an allowlist

[โ€“] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 2 points 6 days ago

Defederate auto corrected to federate

Fixed it

In the short time iv actively actually used Lemmy.

Iv learned it's incredibly anti Ai, pro communism and hates religion with a burning passion.

But it also almost always is .ml instance users being the most vocal users on every post i see.

Iv just gotten to the point when I see .ml I assume it's some jaded asshole who hates everyone else. As they always do the thing I see religious people do and just dog pile anyone who disagrees with them.

But one of the healthiest things iv done for my mental health on here is literally never read any replies. If I naturally come across a reply during a rereading of a post I'll respond but other wise.

I literally do not read any reply. I also delete most of my comments after a little bit.
