If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.
I’ll be here like, Dormammu I’ve come to bargain
Why is the Shower Thoughts community essentially meta discussion of Lemmy and not, well, shower thoughts?
Wow this is a shower thought itself 😂
lemmy is too new for its users to have used the shower yet
The showerthoughts subreddit was ridiculously overmoderated, so 90-99% of posts just get removed.
This one is basically unmoderated.
Because lemmy is new and its one big circle jerk right now, and I like it!
Yeah peeps are in the honeymoon phase.
folks, I prepared the meringue and the butplugs, let’s talk about lemmy…
Wait, what’s the meringue for?
For your wildest dreams, buddy, for your wildest dreams…
(We lubricate the rattle snake with it, duh)
Now that’s wild!
Just be glad we’re actually taking showers.
Because that’s all we thinking about in the shower these days. Clever things to say about lemmy on lemmy.
There is nothing better than a good old tribe war.
One of the oldest human pastimes, hating people who are different from you in some way, no matter how inconsequential.
“You ever notice that? Any time you see two groups of people who really hate each other, chances are good they’re wearing different kind of hats. Keep an eye on that, it might be important.” - George Carlin
Nothing drives down real estate prices like a good old-fashioned gang war.
Ah shit they should bring back tribes, I miss that game.
Goddam you made me nostalgic. Wonder how slow i would be today… Sloooooow

I get the sentiment and that is sarcasm and all, but this could still be hurtful to some people. Let’s grow past dick size humor because I know that lemmings are better than that.
Yeah, question their morals or say they eat cats, lol
Humor police? No thank you…
I think there will eventually be a “safe space” subfederation for people with a fragile sense of humor. We can all coexist.
It’s called beehaw, pretty much.
The way to get over something is to adapt, not avoid it.
It’s funny that dick size is a thing we care about. Some guys get big dicks, some get small ones, some guys let it define them, other guys don’t, some women admit they like big dicks, some don’t admit it, some actually don’t. Life is full of horror and it’s funny.
The more things you have to avoid the worse off you are.
Plus every time someone makes a dick size joke I think about randy marshs dick size formula. The time and effort he spend to make his dick be average size always cracks me up.
Like who cares about your dick size? Relatively few people get to see it anyways and if they judge you for it you’re probably better of without them.
feddit.de über Allen!
/s
lemmy.world and lemmy.ml users competing whos the most generic NPC
pawb.social users not existing
lemm.ee and vlemmy.net users actually being based
I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
Lemmy.zip users hoping the hamster has a few more months of running on the wheel to keep the servers powered until a new hamster can be purchased.
It has already started :) I’d say around 60% of major instances block exploding-heads, burggit and/or lemmygrad. Lemmygrad and EH in turn defederate a shitton of instances as well due to ideological reasons. Most “civility” or “law” related instances block piracy instances. The dbzer0 piracy instance blocks anything seen as too right-wingy cuz the owner is an anarchocommunist or something. LGBT instances are blocking & promoting for other instances to block instances that aren’t too friendly to LGBT or are simply not moderating or even promoting homophobia & related topics. I actually made a tool called federation-checker.vercel.app/ that checks where an instance stands in the federation “war”, so I know what instances to register onto if I wanna see some content that has been blocked by the instances I’m on.
Tbh I’m still confused on the differences and have literally zero attachment to the one I chose
It’s mostly political and some about gatekeeping.
Same lol idk what the hell is going on here
It’s so dumb, yet it’s so natural that even knowing it’s dumb sometimes people end up devolving into tribe wars by complete accident.
And then some do it because it’s the easiest way to get people to do what you want to them to do. It’s definitely best to try to keep it in the back of your mind as much as possible to avoid falling into the habit.
One of the most enjoyable bits in REAMDE was about how the users of an MMORPG split into two warring factions over whether they preferred the default color palette or a custom version.
Got a linkie? I wanna read details
It really is weird to see the default to tribalism rear its head as it’s happening
I don’t want it to be mainstream. I just want it to be Good.
Any good guides on all the instances?
I want to pick sides early so I can feast on the blood of those who dared choose differently.
Just stay away from Lemmy.nz we…I mean they are VERY southern
I mean, we already see small skirmishes here and there.
As long as there are more than two humans left, we’ll always find something stupid to argue about
I guess Reddit is on a good track to eliminate flame wars.
Will not!
Will too!
I love Jacques Cousteau!
Please do instance wars also on PeerTube, it’s noone land right now.
The problem with transitioning from YouTube to PeerTube is that without a critical mass of users it’s just not worth it for creators. But without creators the users won’t go there, because there’s no content.
Lemmy has that problem to a much lesser extend because this kind of platform is way more focused on the interaction between users. Or put differently, everyone is a creator here.
A tool that uploads and updates videos across multiple platforms while syncing descriptions, tags, etc is something that would be incredibly handy for creators while also being something that PeerTube could piggyback off of. “Why not upload my video to another platform I’ve never heard of? It can only lead to more exposure.”

You are right. Lemmy and Mastodon are user-centric while Funkwhale or Peertube are more on the artist/creator. For this reason I encourage people to use these sites, supporting artists who decide to use these platforms.
Obviously lemmy.robotra.sh is the best one because it’s mine and only people I know can be there ¯\(ツ)/¯
I would prefer people to be spread across different forums and form their own identity
This is the way. After seeing how lemmy.world handled the load, I created a new account on another instance with less people.
I would prefer people to be spread across toast.
Because people are my jam.
https://lemmy.ca/ Best instance in NA.
I rolled my eyes at the idea of instance wars. Then I saw this post claiming that my instance is the best, and I almost upvoted.
Take this as a stark reminder that a monster lives in each of us.
https://midwest.social can’t beat the great lakes.
