This is awesome! (sh.itjust.works)

Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?

We are forming communities on the realized image of the internet that we were told we would have back in the 80s and 90s.

You can make your own home on the web and have your own niche community, not owned by any corporation, while still being connected to the wider internet.

This feels like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Fediverse is old-school internet! With some twists of course, but having new school social media in a decentralized way is great. The good & bad thing is there's a higher filter for getting on, so people here are nerdy and techy, but most 'normals' might not take the time.

If you guys haven’t yet, you should try the Memmy app for iOS! It is amazing!

I just upvoted you from Memmy on Lemmy, it’s nice!

There's been infighting? Why?

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

What I've seen was Nazis doing Nazi things and some people not reacting as decidedly antifascist as other people would have liked.

I mean, I feel like the system was built precisely to hinder nazis, provided other instances do their job.

Obviously this is going to result in a parallel nazi-lemmy just like the old web's commonplace forum structure allowed the creation of storm front.

Also terrorist-lemmy, pedo-lemmy, and others.

The admins just need to defederate properly. You need to sign up with a server that aligns with your preferences.

Also, if lemmy takes off it will be labeled as a nazi pedo terrorist app by media and recruitment woll be heavily censored on established websites.

Belive it or not, straight to nazi lemmy.

In the 1980s, I wanted a Unix box with dialup uucp so that I had access to Usenet. Was too poor for that.

In the 1990s I had a telnet dialup to a Sun box with email (mailing lists), gopher, ftp and Usenet. Then, my own Linux machine on dialup.

In the 2000s, hardware servers on the Internet and broadband. Lots of space to experiment.

Things really haven't changed that much since.
