The power of anonymity.
The power of anonymity.
While older generations of Indian women are complacent in this fucked up way of thinking, younger generations are less willing to put up with this shit.
This is true to some extent.
Let’s talk about the privileged here, who can get education. Younger generation, even though being educated, are still conformed to the family and societal norms. Education is still unable to break these conservative norms, as for being a good individual in the face of family and society, you’ve to follow these norms. It starts with disguised discrimination, and the sum of this is the individuals inability to view women as equals to men, or as just mere objects. Misogyny has been internalised. This goes both for young men and women.
Oh FFS, OPIndia is a right wing media — almost a BJP’s (Current ruling party) mouthpiece — which also frequently posts fake news and Islamaphobic and xenophobic content. Also, International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) rejected it’s application as a fact checker.
Also, I’m not really sure how much weight the political opinion of a White House singer has.
None IMO. It’s just a very shitty website run with shittier people.
So that means Indian right wing trads and jingoists who plagued Reddit and made literal hate posts are on the fediverse. Fuck.
Still ain’t gonna back down.
I don’t think I’d really want to read my 15 year old posts anyways…
Lol
Yes. The user accounts would also be gone.
Well, I see. All I’m worried about some essential piece of information which could be useful for people will be lost. As an aspiring dev, you do sometimes spiral down into the Reddit hole, for getting a solution.
Major communities would be lost if any site decides to shutdown.
Yes, I agree. But coming from Reddit, which is centralised and for profit, they have to ensure that their servers run full time.
On the open source side, i.e., here at Lemmy, anyone can build an instance. Which is great for a lot of reasons. But, hypothetically let’s say I have an instance and I can’t bear up the cost of running the server. I would like to close the server down and there exists communities with thousands of users. Then what?
I know it’s easier to spring the communities back up, but it’s just starting again from scratch, and also losing all the important information that had been posted on it.
EDIT: Also what about profiles that were made on that instance? Well the data would be completely lost right?
That’s interesting. If a server goes down or the admin shuts it down for whatever reason, some major communities will be lost. Is it supposed to be like this or am I missing something?
There should be a migrating feature for profiles IMO. Would really help with speed if the server is hosted near to you.
Yeah I think many people who use third party clients will completely stop using Reddit altogether.
Frankly, my first temptation was to ignore the overload warning for fear of missing something by joining another instance.
I think many non tech savvy users won’t understand how Lemmy works and just give up trying to understand how to signup. Plus some instances have a form and users are waitlisted. I think that’s the biggest con of Lemmy.
Well I made an account 10 days ago when the traffic was much less because the devs of Lemmy had just started advertising the site on Reddit.
It would be fucking amazing if Christian ports Apollo for Lemmy. But for that Lemmy needs to have enough audience.
Yes, I try to comment on posts because it’ll increase the engagement of the site and new comers wouldn’t feel that it’s empty.
Most of the people migrating from Reddit wouldn’t have much of a problem with self-depreciation.
This is great. I hope other devs follow the same. Really gonna miss Apollo though. One of the last days I’m going to use that Open in Apollo extension. :/
So while the masses might still show up to reddit, it’s entirely possible that the quality of the content will take a nosedive anyway.
This. This is highly likely and if this happens, Reddit will be soon reduced to something like Quora. Still will be Google’s favourite, but won’t have the quality content and/or the community it needs to become what it once was.
Added!
We need more userscripts to make Lemmy better on mobile.
Watch any content of him opening his mouth, it just reeks of misogyny. So yeah since he’s reported, it checks out.
