Yea there’s a major difference in “playing ball” because you have no choice and willingly contributing to the corrupt system.

The only reason I use it is that not enough prominent people are on Mastodon and for me it’s only good for being a quick way of seeing what’s going on in media and politics.

I remember when instead of getting downvoted for having a slightly different opinion you’d get downvoted for the minorest of grammar/spelling mistakes.

Custom medals for an instance that admins/mods could give to accounts or posts would be cool, might be a way for admins to reward/push good content. Kind of like reddit mod awards except you don’t have to give money to a jagoff to do it.

Yea I think sync for Lemmy will be one of the big movers for people. Being able to use a different site but have it look and feel 99% the same makes that switch way easier.

I mean it’s actually good they prosecuted him, shows that they will go after people who commit crimes regardless of politics. This hurts the conservative narrative.

It’s from the community r/196 on reddit which has migrated to !196!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is one of the largest communities to migrate here. There’s also !195@lemmy.world which was made about the same time and ended up being kind of the “unofficial” one whereas the one on it’s own instance has gotten more popular. “Rule” comes from the fact that it is a “rule” to post something there any time you visit.

Edited to include a summary of what I’ve done so far. I may try to go more in depth with it, but I am thinking of making a new post detailing what I did after I get it up and running fully functional. That way I’ll know all the mistakes I made and bumps encountered and how I overcame them. I will make sure to include a link to the post in an edit here when it’s done.

I just made a post about having issues with getting a fully functional instance so I think I’m gonna give this a try.
