I came to Lemmy cause Reddit went to shit, so I get that people want to bash it and I also understand that most of the users of Lemmy are from the US and the shit show that’s happening there right now, but I am absolutely tired of these 2 types of posts being the only thing in my feed, I open this app because I want to learn new interesting things, and maybe see some funny and creative stuff, there’s enough negativity and stress in my life and I don’t need more of that on my only social media app. How do I filter these topics from my feed and which communities can I join to improve my feed.

    Yes, lemmy still concentrates power in the hands of instance owners and their moderation delegates. This structures all discourse and communitiesin a certain way, discourage experimentation, alternate topics and viewpoints but instead focuses attention toward, for each topic, “the one big community” and its contingent idiosyncrasies.

    Only way around this is transparent multiserver communities and frictionless account and community server migration.

    Without this the same structure of power will always replicate itself.
