Where does it say “Lemmy doesn’t exist”? The admins of the site are well within their right to curate what service they include. I say this as someone who uses Lemmy a lot and really wants there to be a non-corporate, competition-focused alternative (instances, UIs) to reddit specifically and oligarch run social networks in general.

I don’t understand how “censorship” plays into this (beyond shallow polemical grandstanding). Where is the censorship?

How is this censorship though?

You can always start joinfediversefreespeechstan.io or whatever. The code is even available, no?

I could never understand american-style preference for “free speech” themed theatrics.

Excuse me?

Point 1 and 2 really need to be addressed.

It would be so much better if lemmy wasn’t developed by genocide white-washing tankies.

True that. Yes, it looks like total MAU could be a lot higher, although in ballpark it does seem to be closer to Lemmy’s 45K.

Too bad MAUs are a mere 13K, even less than Lemmy with it’s rather modest 45K MAUs.

But then again, I personally don’t see any better competition to oligarch run social networks.

Will need to try this. Grabbing the thumbnail via an external site is annoying.

Instances running 0.19.5 (I think) allow manually adding a thumbnail.

I extract them from https://youtube-thumbnail-grabber.com/ and manually add them in.

Really annoying.

I do follow this issue, but how is this US-internal topic relevant to the fediverse community?

I say this as someone who opposes oligarchs and has a rather critical attitude towards local perceptions of corruption in the US.

Why nearly? They are just as bad, if not worse.
