  • There’s only one mexican instance, it uses a whitelist and it fucking federates with grad so… Yeah, out of options.

    I’ve been here since the reddit API exodus and I’ve never seen a latinamerican comm in my feed, much less latinamerican spanish posts.

    And hosting an instance is not that simple, it requires effort, content, time, some originality and money (even if a little)… And people who want to join, but I’ve seen maybe 1 mexican (who I assume lives in México too) other than me… Because mexicans love being strangled by meta, so there’s little to no incentive into creating a space for us in the fediverse.


  • I think a large share of Lemmers will do the research.

    I doubt it, a lot of lemmy users just repeat ad nauseum whatever they read here but don’t care about analysing it, understanding it or admitting everyone’s context is different.

    You can see it in this thread, just saying that everyone should quit everything meta they get their feeling of superiority, but ignore how hard it is to convince a common person to switch, try or upgrade whatever they use.

    You can see it a lot on the linux vs windows discussions, most show 0 empathy or understanding when it comes to other’s needs and use cases.

    I see propaganda news from my country and it gets a lot of upvotes, nobody cares about researching why someone from the same country could get mad about it.

    So yeah… I don’t share your optimism about lemmy users.






  • Or OBS if they decided on Wayland since the shortcuts/hotkeys don’t work unless OBS is the active window.

    This just happened to me… And it was the tipping point since Xlink Kai still doesn’t work on Linux, Music Bee is still my go to music player and MP3Tag only works on Windows… So I dunno, I just threw the towel, it works fine for a lot of things, but there’s too many “but” in my use case so I gave up for now.




  • Lemmy has a… Strange aberration to anything porn/hentai in general, I know instance owners who live in certain countries can’t allow it due to legal reasons so they defederate anything sexy, but really close to the reddit exodus one of the most prominent complains were how people didn’t want to see anything sexy in their feed but didn’t want to turn on the nsfw filter because they still wanted to see news with graphic content in public.

    Every now and then you can spot comments here and there about how people who like sexual things (like mods in their games or as a wallpaper in their pc) are bad and shouldn’t be enjoying it freely.

    Or every time the lack of artists comes up, they don’t care about the fediverse because they know they will get shunned if they draw things a little too sexy.

    The fediverse so far is prudish, bland and mid.







  • I can say I have, used to see a lot of propaganda from my country being constantly crossposted from ml and hexbear, since dbzero (among others) tolerates them, it helps them bypass the faulty defederation/blocking system that lemmy has so it kept appearing in my feed and I had to see accounts dedicated to defend the propaganda.
    Until I moved to Piefed and was able to actually block them (also this instance defederated them).

    Tribalism isn’t always bad, sometimes it’s needed to help take care of others by cutting off bad instances or instances that enable them. It’s not black and white.


  • You know some of us don’t have an option, right?
    Every bank in México forces their app to use the 2FA, needed to transfer money and to pay the credit cards.

    Some random told me I was limiting myself by only using mexican banks… Never told me what alternative I have when I live here, so I guess these kind of comments are only to feel superior over those of us who have to deal with it.
