This post is way too meta.
Yeah I love Lemmy, but I feel like it’s being held up by a few different people. I comment and even occasionally post to try and help with that, but it’s kind of scary how much weight is on a few peoples’ shoulders, and that’s not even accounting for server owners and the devs
That’s the way it is with every platform, you only have a comparatively small proportion of people who do a huge share of the posting.
Reddit has the advantage of being absolutely massive that the power posters is also still a huge number. I’d imagine even the biggest of entire Lemmy instances is smaller than some of the major subreddits, which personally I’m fine with. This emmy instance isn’t some major corporation beholden to growing value for shareholders at all costs, but on the other end it still doesn’t mean the admins can do everything without monetary or labor support from us.
Let’s stop with the hero worshipping just because someone posts a lot. I saw Picard post a racist meme yesterday, heroes aren’t perfect.
Please share the link to that post.

Note that the deer head and antler aesthetic is based on a number of depictions of w*ndigo that have gained popularity among white audiences and been heavily criticised for cultural appropriation.
“Cultural apropration” is a nothing burger championed by people who often have no ties to the culture that they claim needs their protecting. A white man speaking for indigenous american culture does not give indigenous americans more of a voice, it takes their voice away by revoking their ability to speak for themselves.
There’s nothing wrong in speaking out for other groups for as long as it actually corresponds to the current needs of people inside the group, as defined by themselves.
This is what being an ally is all about.
But yes, one should better consult people on what they ask for in the first place.
I dunno mate, seems like I’m the only one in this thread who actually has a source from a native american. @Vytle@lemmy.world talks a big game about respecting native americans and elevating their voices, while denying the existence of the issues they care about and talking over them. Maybe Vtyle should try listening to the people they claim to represent instead of deciding what indigenous people think for them.
You are grouping all indigenous people together by saying “denying the existence of issues they care about and talking over them” I emplore you, who is “they”? Are you implying that all native Americans hold the same beliefs? That they are the same people? I also never claimed to represent native Americans. I would never speak for a culture or peoples I don’t belong to.
No I’m not. You’re just inventing nonsense reasons to “no u” this conversation and justify racism. You’ve read the accounts from the affected communities, because I linked them. You’re just lying.
this thread made me realize lemmy is in more ways like the forums I used to frequent when I was younger (that is about 20 years ago fuck…)
It makes my nerd heart happy that the most prolific posters are Trekkies, that’s the internet I left reddit for.
Whatever. I’ll still be here.
Edit: Jeez. My egotistical comment was beaten by 7 hours. https://lemmy.world/comment/10773740
No one cares about you 🙄 for the love of life. Get off it already… you even forced an emoji outta me, just to really get my point across /s
Sorry sorry, trying to be sarcastic-mean, not actually mean. Just wanted to rib poke for a second, but not at the expense of a person I don’t know. I truly like seeing your activity around here; couldn’t help myself though. Ya dick
I’m not great at sarcasm lol. I only wish the best for you, ya random squid 🐙
Your sarcastic mean was sarcastic enough. Thanks and I wish the best for you too! :)
The squid has spoken!
More sort of clicked my beak halves together, but yeah.
Literally came here to say this. A few of you are keeping the place alive
And the comments section without FlyingSquid
I have a lot to unload and nowhere to unload it.
That’s what he said
Those 2 truly are the lemmyverse
I’m back on my BS is also a solid contributor
and that’s to say nothing of @Kolanaki@yiffit.net
🤭
Haha apparently they blocked me from their .world account so TIL that’s my Lemmy experience
I didn’t block you.
It would be an age of anime content, because I’m going nowhere.
What! I applaud your effort in promoting Dungeon Menshi in literally every instance.
!dungeonmeshi@ani.social has been a huge success. And the monthly active user-count suggests there’s plenty room for subscriber growth still.
Now that the season is over, I suspect the people who don’t watch shows weekly will start joining, too. And season 2 will be even more great as then the community will already be around and have a user-base.
Can’t wait.
I’m actually everyone else on Lemmy besides those two, running a few hundred accounts
Can confirm, I am this guy 👍
I’m also actually u/match
Shoutout to @fossilesque@mander.xyz aswell. Love this guys content.
Fuck lemmycelebs. Block them all, your experience will be much better
Upvote because gimp
Noticed the legendary pepper brush and immediately looked for this comment
“Made with Freedom”
It would be as disastrous as the impact to PC gaming when Gaben dies.
That’s because according to Valve law, when he dies the whole company cannot be passed along to his successor
I didn’t know that that is
Where’s the love for SatansMagottyCumFart?
Gross
Let me be the first to wish them a happy nentay.
