More like a call to get this post removed. (Assuming mods aren’t just as psycho.)

This isn’t a call to violence is it…

Been living in Italy for 3 years now. Been gettin pizza slices this whole time.

Ah legit. I get what you mean.

Ok great! From the sounds of it, certainly seems like Lemmy is promising. Hasn’t quite grown to the point where smaller niche subs have made it here just yet, but *hopefully * with a growing user base those niche subs may make their way onto the platform. I do love the idea of Lemmy.

As for your culture response I’m a little confused as quite the contrary was my experience on Reddit. Seemed to be an echo chamber of liberals who were incapable of debate and so therefore mods would often times delete posts or worse ban users even with sound rebuttals. (I am conservative, quite conservative I might add.) A moderators ideological or political stance shouldn’t be the determining factor as to whether a post or user gets banned.

In addition, as a side note. I’d gladly be the first conservative to debate you in good faith sometime. ;)

Regardless, thanks for the post! Going to start wrapping my head around Lemmy. I’m virtually walking in pitch black running into walls. Need to dig deeper in setting the account up!

Oh whoa sick. Reckon I’m about to nerd out on this for a bit. Thanks for the starter points.

Ok sweet. Are there any instances you’d recommend to a newbie? Totally open to see whats around. Also, are there any perks to being signed up to one instance versus another?

Well thats fantastic to hear. It’s my biggest issue with Reddit. I’m big into debating. Don’t mind being wrong, but I sure as hell don’t want to be be banned for trying to create dialogue.

amen.

That’s a really good point, I hadn’t thought about the AMA angle or how unique those niche pro communities were. Thanks for sharing that, definitely gives me a better picture of what people feel is missing.

Got it, that makes sense. I guess I’ll have to poke around and get a feel for the different instances/cultures myself. Appreciate the perspective!

If you wouldn’t mind helping me out here, am I getting this right? I signed up on Lemmy.world, so while I can still access other instances, people can see that I’m from Lemmy.world and kind of make assumptions about me based on that?

Ok wow, I’ve got a lot to learn about Lemmy. Gotta learn what these instances are. haha, Thanks for your thoughts.
