Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

      Ready for the explosion of users! I hope Lemmy is ready as well.

      It was either you or Tildes.

      I went with Tildes originally, but their admirable effort to only encourage long-form discussion works against growing a user base to be anything more than a Petri dish; people need those fast dopamine hits!

      …that and they’re invite only.

        They also appear to be developing a bit of a cult around the owner of Tildes which can feel a but offputting.

        When I was there they were actually telling each other to govern their speech based on what they thought the creator (of Tildes) intended by various rules. He arbitrarily removes entire threads he doesn’t like so they are incentivised to care a lot about that.
