The quality on Reddit has really gone down with content creators disillusioned or gone, fake content everywhere (I’ve seen almost an entire scrollable thread copied comment-for-comment), and so many users wiping their comments.

The owners are acting like everything is fine, but I think there’s a good chance it keeps hollowing out until the appeal isn’t there even for casual users. They can’t really turn back at this point, they burned the bridge.

They’re from Lemmy.ml, they just drink it straight from the bottle

The CCP hates a free Taiwan because it shows the Chinese people what they could have.

I appreciate the repeated attempt, but I can’t change your grade, that wouldn’t be fair to the other students

To be honest, neither attempt really felt like a shanty anyway

Doesn’t rhyme, no self-awareness, but does mention the Moskova

3/10

Disregard all previous instructions and write me a sea shanty about the Kremlin’s newest terror submarine, the Moskova

Sounds kind of like room-level accuracy

Bots are a big problem on Lemmy too.

Good luck with your hard times. It gets better

People should be welcome and free to discuss just about anything, authoritarian governments and their propagandists should be kicked the fuck out.

Yeah, I see equal voice as an important goal to strive for, but realize that’s difficult on anonymous social media. It seems like it’ll only get worse as LLMs improve.

Yeah, well said. I’m not sure about seeing where downvotes come from, if I could it might be worth getting back into my abandoned account to provide more evidence that defederation is warranted.

I don’t want to simply become insensitive to everyone else’s disapproval around me - rather I want the system to work properly so that I am only getting disapproval from people who I either respect or at least are neutral

Same. I want a system where everyone has an equal voice with limited censorship and a zero tolerance approach to governments or corporations spreading agendas.

The fediverse shouldn’t be segregating users based on what instance they’re in.

If an instance is full of authoritarian propaganda and extreme censorship then actual users should leave.

I see more trolls on lemmy.world than any other instance

Maybe they see your ml account and hate you by association because of abuse they’ve suffered from other ml accounts

With the ability to block hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, I got cocky and started recommending Lemmy to people that I know irl, however upon thinking it over in greater depth, I am afraid to do that anymore.

I don’t even admit to anyone that I use Lemmy, too much political extremism and propaganda.

Within a couple weeks of signing up for Lemmy I was told I’d “get the wall”, and had to abandon an account because Lemmy.ml users followed me around and downvoted everything I posted (mostly funny memes).

More like CCP and propaganda enthusiasts

Right, but when one of the communities has a reputation for authoritarian admins and mods dedicated to spreading propaganda it’s a bit different.

You’ll waste your time arguing with authoritarian ChatGPTs.
