Hello you two. Just wanted to say you both make very compelling arguments. I get the feeling that there’s a possibility that you’re misunderstanding each other
Comment on Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates
schmidtster@lemmy.world 1 year agoPlease point out where for the rest of us?
I was talking about countries, A they have far more differences than just “language barriers”, which I never specified or even implied, B it’s a euphemism that I’ve since explained a different way, which you’re ignoring.
If your intent here is to just troll, move along that can stay with Reddit to.

Not misunderstanding at all, buddy wants a Reddit clone, while this has no intention of being so.
Buddy is just in the wrong place and wants this to be like something else.

your whole example is centered around 2 groups inability to communicate with each other. its the worst possible example of people who are fully capable of communicating simply electing not to because it makes them feel better. witch isn’t what’s happening here.

….? What…?
What inability to communicate?

The other guy, schmidt-something is pointing out that people will use their instances to have like-minded community whether that’s interests, language or specialism, while you appear to be advocating for the reddit type congregation of people and for some reason also arguing against the other guy’s description of reality, of how things are. I don’t see why you are offended at him…
And I see you have your own anxiety and disagreement about the nature of Lemmy’s federated system. That’s no reason to shoehorn it into every discussion.
I think you are pessimistic about Lemmy’s potential for small communities.
But have you considered that we’re not indexed on Google yet? And we largely don’t have a pervasive culture of promoting niche communities yet like they did on the large subreddits. So this is two other ways small communities aren’t being found in the first place.

Buddy wants this to be Reddit 2.0 where the same tropes get traction instead of actual discussions.
The hive mind and centralized speak of Reddit is horrendous, at least lemmy allows minor discussions to happen without it getting muddled. That can’t happen in large communities, and buddy just can’t seem to comprehend that some people want something different.

the entirety of lemmy is not big enough to warrant splitting “technology” into 5+ different groups. this isn’t different groups of people all talking about something from different perspectives, its the same people separated by federation while simultaneously filling everyone’s feeds with the same exact content.
1 i’m not really offended, i don’t care about anonymous morons on the internet. 2, have you even read these comments?
lemmy is indexed by google. it shows up on the first page of the search for “lemmy”
schmidtster@lemmy.world 1 year ago
News flash buddy, people want different things, not everyone wants the same troped repeated, you can’t have discussions when the entire comment chain is circle jerks.
Smaller communities allow this.
How is this so hard for you to comprehend? Different strokes for different folks, and are you EVER going to address my points? Or are you just going to continue to argue a different point everytime you’re called out? I can do this all day, we don’t want Reddit here, don’t bring it here mate.
