Politics and memes.

Social media is a terrible source for accurate, unbiased information. And memes are low quality content that shouldn’t be consumed by anyone.

Garbage tier IMO. So much worse than Gmail in terms of UI and legit email going to spam or not being delivered at all. So if you’re going to use a free one, just use Gmail.

Ask on their github https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY/issues. I don’t see it listed anywhere, but it should be listed.

Ironic since you have to buy a Google phone to use that OS.

I block politics subs and have never had an issue with lemmy.ml. All the issues I see are related to politics.

Curious what made you choose lemmy.zip?

I’ll upvote you if you add one or more citations for your claims.

How do you find out what mastodon instances block others?

it’s slowly turning into the old twitter.

How?

Unfortunately, I haven’t observed that. There seem to be many people on Lemmy who go out of their way to be antagonistic to other Lemmy users. Which includes downvote brigading, as the OP said.

The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue.

I doubt that it would make Lemmy significantly worse. I’ve already had to block nearly a hundred lemmy communities for containing the “mindless trash” that is abundant on reddit. The reality is that most people aren’t smart and don’t want to browse and participate in intellectual content. They want to mindlessly scroll through endless memes. I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.

I don’t think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.

Lemmy is only better because it’s not centrally controlled.

There are voices, and actions that reddit has silenced that should be given back a voice again. Reddit has been doing very bad things and sweeping them under the rug. This will give people a chance to find out about what reddit is trying to hide from the public.

/r/watchredditdie for example, was a big sub that reddit basically shut down. I’m hoping to draw some of those people to lemmy as their new home. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1997179

It did on reddit (r/watchredditdie) and the admins shut it down. Snoopocalyse existed on lemmy, but went into archive mode.

I checked it out more, there’s no “remove torrent & delete torrent file”, there’s only “permanently delete files” which is not clear at all and sounds like it will delete both the .torrent and the downloaded files, which is not what I want. utorrent 2.2 seems to be pretty flawless for me.

Thanks for the info!

I checked real quick and the setup guide that changes all the settings according to your internet speed, and the ability to stop torrents when they meet the goal. Qbt can only pause or remove them. Pausing leaves you connected and anti-piracy groups get your IP and submit complaints, and I don’t want them automatically removed. There may be more.
