Asklemmy

The anti-Americanism. We are not all the same.

Less war hawks, neoliberals, reactionary american exceptionalism from tech workers who have no idea what they're talking about except that they have money and think that gives them the privilege of opinion.

It seems I often don't get stuff in my inbox that should be there. Like direct replies. But honestly, I'd also like to get notifications for sibling posts or replies to replies and so on. I just want to subscribe to that discussion.

Another thing is that sometimes eternity forgets where I was doom scrolling, and it takes me forever to get back to that point. I probably just clicked away from the feed or closed all my apps.

Edit: Maybe with a bell button. It's simple and gives control and it's okay to not use it. In the settings you can say also enable the bell when you like sum. Afaik activity pub supports granular subscribing.

Fewer politics.

the "ignore all previous instructions" comments.

the first time i read it, i thought it was funny. the second time, less so. the hundreth time? yeah. i dont know if people realize it, but if you use this comment, it actually makes you look like a moron. Because all your opponent has to do to achieve that is just not following your instructions. besides: ive never seen this used against somebody who might actually be a bot, its always just somebody with different opinions.

i wish people would stop complaining about leftists and linux discussion in general. i guess it makes me a hypocrite complaining about complainers but still it's annoying.

also imo lemmy is basically reddit now (with the way .world is), with all its pros and cons. you cannot replicate something's mechanisms to the tee and expect federation to somehow transform it into this otherwordly experience.

one positive thing i can say about lemmy compared to others though is that the small amount of content forces me to spend less time, and there are less reactionaries here than other places.

It's gotta be more user-friendly to regular non-tech peoples, and it has to be explained/pitched to people in a more simplified way. Also there really should be an official mobile app.

less politics. ive blocked like 10 political communities yet still see it all over how can people talk about this shit all day

also need more niche communities idk how to create communities on jerboa😬
