We really have very different experiences it seems. And honestly, I think that’s for the best! A big strength of federation-style tech.
Some responses:
I intentionally stopped short of pointing you toward the parts of Lemmy I was talking about. I don’t know you - if you’re curious, you’ll find em; but I don’t know you and they aren’t “my” spaces, I’m not going to inflict you on them just to make a point, know what I mean?
if you’re willing (feel free to tell me to fuck myself lol, given my statement above), where are you finding these “real activist groups”? I can’t say I’ve ever once seen the like online. To be fair, I tuned out of “social media” (the big platforms) more than 10 years ago and spent a considerable amount of that time jaded and uninvolved on that level.
I really can’t understand any defence of modern Reddit whatsoever (assuming you’re defending modern Reddit, you didn’t indicate otherwise). For a long time now it’s been hilariously controlled, are you talking about subreddits that have managed to fly under the radar or something?
completely agree that we got a whoooole lotta thoughtless meme’ing here. Pretty much comes with the territory though…
Oh, edit to add - I also haven’t seen IRL events organized on Lemmy, agree with you there. That’s not at all what I was saying, my bad - I meant that I run into folks who do IRL organizing, and happen to chime in about things online. The opposite of “online -> IRL” you’re describing.
Interesting!

Very cool of you with the measured response.
