It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.

Seems pretty usable overall, great for midsize loads and the overwhelming majority of personal projects. Given the ubiquity of untouched ultra-capacity vanity trucks, this is an actual reasonable daily driver.
I’m not sure whether the issues plaguing Reddit really apply to lemmy, even with a single instance being disproportionately larger than the others, which makes “Reddit 2.0” a bit less derogatory to me. Reddit’s moderator tools were severely lacking for the required output (federation helps diffuse communities, and lemmy doesn’t encourage bots to swarm in order to increase apparent user numbers for investor satisfaction), every big anti-hate decision required a media spectacle to precede it (admins here aren’t free speech absolutists with authoritarian hard-ons), and staff retention at Reddit is an odd loop of promotion into managerial obsolescence which severely increases overhead (irrelevant to lemmy). Reddit 2.0 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to me.
This is potentially the grimmest perspective I’ve ever read. I don’t think you’re wrong, either.
