Yeah, Lemmy, that white supremacist cesspool…

“Says it’s important for the world, but will end up becoming a white supremacist cesspool”

“Like that Lemmy social network?”

I've been seeing a bunch of posts about Lemmy being smeared on Reddit lately. They must be scared...
- I mentioned it on youtube, and a guy replied commenting he couldn't wait for Lemmy to enact API pricing once they realize servers aren't free.
  Talk about clueless.
  
  dude... youtube comments? afterward, did you slam your hand in a car door and light it on fire?
  why would you do that to yourself? lol
  
  Because YouTube comments are widely known for their insightfulness lol
Lemmy was originally developed by people on the opposite spectrum, tankies. That people now assume it's a rightwing place is hilarious.
- Generally true but I will say, there's a concerning amount of astroturfing going around on eg. sh.itjust.works about how iMporTanT it iS to let tHe hatErs sPeaK. The place seems to be going full 'nazi bar' very quickly. It doesn't matter how tankie the original devs are, we still need to be wary of our spaces. If there's one thing the alt right has proven effective at out of all their massive incompetences, it's turning social spaces online into shit holes.
  
  the fediverse will splinter on lines, starting to see running your own instance more like running a usenet client.
- which is funny because reddit is considered the white supremacist site by the rest of the internet.
Never underestimate people's stupidity. Holy hell.
There are/were plenty on Reddit it would be dumb to assume they won't show up here.
- Yeah, there's bound to be corners in the fediverse of every sort, unfortunately. The benefit is that unlike with centralized social media, we can actually cut them out from the wider parts of it.
