Keep it in mind
We lost active users because of this
I’d imagine Hexbear and lemmygrad ran a lot of people away as well.
I've been registered on Lemmygrad. Got banned for saying Stalin is not a superhero and that he made both good and bad moves.
Noted, moved to lemmy.world
I’m not even on either and got an account banned from .ml for telling the Hexbear clowns that their little meme responses were childish and cringy.
You mean a pic of a pig w shit on it's balls isn't high-minded discourse?!
Right? Who’d have thought that a large community of children would be obnoxious and cringy?
@tigeruppercut is that what "pigpoopballs" is??
I don't see their images, just a line of text that I'm not about to click on. For some reason I was imagining little round balls made of poo, possibly in a pyramid shape.
yeah, it's an old pic so you may've run across it before anyway, but for some reason the hexies think it's the height of satire
there's a know your meme page if you're curious
@tigeruppercut thanks. That was underwhelming. I don't know why they post it so often!
I've had like three accounts banned from .ml for saying, among other things, that the US revolution didn't involve kidnapping children. Trying to have any world news discussion here is completely impossible, and that's one of the more active areas on Reddit. No wonder people try out lemmy and then bail.
Happy to see you're now on SJW, it's a pretty chill instance
Yeah, I was banned from world news for posting about jinping and uyghurs
Probably but people who make their account on Lemmy.world, the most common instance, also never see them.
I have an account there. I use it as my good news/no negativity scroll. The absence of that garbage is so refreshing.
It absolutely did. Instances should have acted on that day 1.
Day 1, most of the instances were down due to the massive influx
I was wondering what happened to lemmy.film.
Nobody knows unfortunately, but we created !moviesandtv@lemm.ee as a replacement
Well that's sad. But I suppose we're still in the new, rough period of Lemmy. The Wild West of federated, private server owned link sharing discussion sites.
@Shyfer yeah it shut down which was disappointing.
Luckily due to the decentralised nature of federation there are movies communities at lemmy.world, kbin.social, and lemm.ee.
