Tell me your grievances and criticisms and also I spend a lot of time on the Internet so tell me what type of news you would like me to post although I will continue to post political material as well.

    Don’t bend the knee to other instances, let them all defederate if they can’t handle free speech. Its clear that a lot of other instances want to run their sites like Reddit 2.0 with heavy censorship. They complain so much about Reddit but yet want Lemmy to be just like it.

    Here’s some constructive criticism. Stop posting unverified claims that serve no purpose but to stir up more hate. I just saw your post about how Biden was solely responsible for inflation, and when pressed for more info, you just said “I’ll post more info but I need a few days” and “I used to fact check, but now I don’t have time, so I just post shit that’s completely unsubstantiated and let other people decide if it’s true or not.” Hint, it’s probably not. At least not in the completely biased way that you’re presenting it. If you honestly do want this place to be a source of news then actually do something to make it that way. Otherwise, this is nothing more than just another echo chamber, and God knows the internet is not in short supply of those at this time.

    Not really a criticism, more of a request if you and/or kapow (and anybody else I’m missing) are open to it but wondering if you guys would consider at some point getting together and maybe doing a post about what kind of challenges you guys have had from admin / infra / etc perspectives (obv no sensitive details)

    I know the defedding stuff has to be a little disappointing and that’s probably what most people think about. But I admit I have been a bit curious if you guys have had to spend a lot of time on fighting spam/trolls/it problems/etc and what it’s like.

    If you guys don’t have time right now, no worries. Was just a thought

    Don’t get so upset with defed and trolls. The reason we need this place is that the fascists will not tolerate free speech, so of course they’re going to drop any place that does and call us nazis. It’s the only trick they know.
