Post memes here.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Yeah, we need to spread out a little more. Fediverse is not about having centralized concentrations that can be targetted.

Ideally every minor Instance could have one major community located there, that could serve as the central space for that particular community. That's pretty impossible of course, but it paints the picture.

I'm running a small instance, thelemmy.club

We even have built in Voyager/WefWef at app.thelemmy.club :P

I don't advertise is too often as I'm not trying to get huge, we have about 120 users and have been up a month. But we have plenty of resources to grow a little.

Why can't we have community tags for grouping? Like have a "tag" you can subscribe to that encompasses all "meme" communities, or "politics", etc. Then if something goes down people can default to whatever. Maybe you could even make it so if you wanted to post you could post it into tag and the tag decides based off metrics which community to actually post it in? Idk, maybe I am dumb. But that seems cool.

That's actually not a bad idea. It'd be cool to have communities, community tags, and post tags. You could choose to sort by whichever you want. You could go to a community, or you could just look at the "solarpunk" tag if you want, similar to Twitter I guess.

I guess I'm lucky to be on lemmy.ca, but it's concerning that a lot of the popular stuff is located on two servers. What's the point of the fediverse, then?

[–] youhavechosenwisely@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child)

I understand why there are many servers, but why is there no central single sign on for many servers? Same with syncing community's over instances.

I'm new so not sure why or why not.

It's the same reason there isn't a central email sign on. Different people control different servers. They're all just using the same protocol so they are interoperable. Just like your email, you have an address that points to your particular account on your particular provider. Name@host.tld. It's essentially the same thing as email, just a different form of interaction.

Don't subscribe to lemmy.ml, the owner is a pro CCP. I unsubbed from all .ml communities.

People are allowed to support whatever political causes they wish, so long as they are willing to engage civilly and fairly with other people. This is how the modern world works, with dialogue and debate instead of censorship, cowardly avoidance and control.

I don't believe that you're consistent on this position.

I would be incredibly shocked if you had the same stance towards white supremacists, Nazis, or pedophiles that want to remove age of consent.

If you do, then cheers. You're practically a unicorn (in the sense that it's extremely rare). I don't disagree with that position as long as it's consistant

I disagree with what you say, but will defend to death your right to say it. If you don't hear that often, find better friends.

That's a very naive view, and ignores the existence of legitimately harmful opinions that must be fought

[–] 73ms@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 years ago (1 child)

Well, people are also absolutely free to choose not to associate with, use services from people whose opinions they find objectionable etc. Nothing wrong with that.

Of course they are. But once they start telling other people what to do, they are doing a different thing from that, are they not?

They're just expressing an opinion just like the Lemmy devs have. (note: I have not looked into what their views are exactly so I'm not saying parent poster is correct)

Nobody is being forced to do what they suggest.

It wasn't an opinion, but a direction. "I dislike lemmy.ml because it is run by communists" is an opinion. "Don't go to lemmy.ml" isn't.

At the end of the day it is just an opinion even if it is in the form of a direction because the one giving it has no real influence on or ability to make the readers do it and they know it.

Directions don't only become directions when you have power. They're just ineffective if you don't have it. Doesn't mean you're not at least trying to control people

That's really arguing about insignificant semantics just concerning the form and not the actual implications of the message.

parent

That is not semantics whatsoever. "Don't open that door" is a direction whether it comes from a stranger or a police officer. Why should anything else be different?

I can't help you if you refuse to see any difference and don't find this constructive with you at this point.

There is nothing to "help" me with. You're just stubbornly refusing to see the point. Telling someone to do something is a fucking command.

Stop replying to me. This is a command.

From a user interaction POV, just have a couple of accounts. I started out on a small server, got a .world and kbin account, then got a beehaw account. If a server is down, I just switch instances.

From a community standpoint, it's terrible because the instance hosts the only live version of the communities. IMHO communities shouldn't be instance specific. Every (federated) instance should have a two-way aggregation of identically named communities. That has some (minor) drawbacks, but is much better for new users to understand and is much more resilient to individual instance failures and outages. (/rant.off)
