Lemmy culture? Nothing, lacks diversity. I often feel like I’m just talking to the same guy. Very rare to read views that don’t align with the groupthink.
EDIT: Okay, one thing that came to mind is that I can talk about autistic stuff that I do and nobody seems to question/judge it.

Of course, the one guy you’re talking to is also autistic.
Isn’t that a good thing though? I would rather be around people that accept my fucked brain than people putting their hand on my knee to stop me from shaking my legs a la restless leg.
Though I do agree that a variation in opinion would be nice.

Beans.
Also jeans
I just thought “You’ve heard of bananas in pajamas, now get ready for beans in jeans” and then my mind went the elf on a shelf meme where you’d depict it visually, and picturing an anthropomorphic bean wearing blue jeans, my mind looked at that and guessed “Kidneys in dungarees?”
Renals in jeanals
the big percentage of FOSS users, privacy enthusiats and the self-hosting community
It does feel like a bit of a purity contest/circlejerk to me at times though.
it does feel like that sometimes tho
Not the most extra ordinary of things but I do like that there is no (USA ?) babysitting when it comes to say fuck etc.
The high proportion of Linux users is nice
Yes, so nice proportion of smart people. I was whining to my wife the other day how I miss the internet of the 90s when that was more the case.

I like that i can interact from MastodonTBH it feels like a pretty continuous evolution of Reddit, Digg, and whatever was between Digg and usenet. There’s self selection that’s made it a bit more harmonious than Reddit, but that’s it.
That being said, it’s super cool to get a glimpse into the million different experiences people have had. The internet is a magical place.
whatever was between Digg and usenet
for me, it was a mix of Slashdot and a bunch of discussion boards.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Slashdot!
I was around for a bit of the disparate forums era, but I have no idea which ones fed into which 2.0 platforms.
Don’t forget Fark!
Much kinder than Reddit, people here know how to disagree and discuss things in a more constructive way.
Nuh-uh!
Oh yeah? Well heck you and your dumb frickin position you stupy dumb dumby dumb idiot small smooth brain moron. I’m right youre wrong !!!1!1!1!1!1!2!
Nuh-uh-uh!!
Yep! Even when I’ve disagreed with people, it’s been more of an exchange of knowledge rather than one person asking for citations and then proceeding to ignore them all.
It’s okay to disagree, sometimes you can learn from each other :)
Can you cite these comments or do I need to just believe you?
Seconded. I’ve definitely had more discussions here than my last year on reddit. Reddit is just a rat race to get the most upvotes for flippant comments or you get downvoted for being nonconformist, especially in the big subs. Also, participants on lemmy with agendas tend to be way more transparent - as in political or pseudo-science. Far easier to avoid or block if need be.
My favorite is: if you disagree, you can always just go to another instance or even create your own. Other than that, I like how, instead of a total score, posts show likes and dislikes separately. This is more of a technical thing than a cultural one, but it has a big impact on making brigading less effective. In general, all these technical decisions make Lemmy very friendly to a variety of cultures and people from across different spectrums of political and other opinions.

This seems to unintentionally reveal something less positive that the internet has done to our culture.
Which is?
Bubbles and echo chambers.
They’ve always existed in some way or another though.
Which pub you went to, which newspaper you read, which TV channel you watched, they all created echo chambers and bubbles in the past.
At least with the Fediverse we’re more likely to break out of it due to various instances showing up in our feeds. Various viewpoints being visible. The Fediverse is still in it’s early days so it’s still a bit monoculture with the likes of Linux and anti-capitalism but that’s changing now. We’re seeing more and more different takes on different topics as time goes by.
Citing sources
Alot of people are really helpful for any questions you might ask, as long as you are respectful
It’s a plus and a negative: how anti-fascist and anti-capitalist it is. I do think that it can go too far at times, but I just block those people. We should try to be less binary as that just isn’t what reality is like.

Yes, it’s good, although I’ve noticed there’s a purge feature now that’s being inevitably misused.
Is it federated, or would the purged content still be visible on other instances?
Hmm, it’s hard to say. The purge record doesn’t display anything like username searchable by the standard frontend, and it’s still a lot rarer than normal removals. The top purge on .ml right now relates to this thread, shown federated to my instance, and it’s neither of the ones visible there, but that could just be that it wasn’t federated in time.
The reason given was that it’s a reply to the wrong thread, which should definitely be a normal removal. The only clear-cut case for a true purge is doxxing or CSAM.
