Basically this. Quadruple moderation on lemmy is stupid.
Reddit agents easily ban content and active contributors

Quadruple moderation.
Moderation is waay waay worse on lemmy

Look I’m coding with ai every day.
Can we please stop pretending it don’t increase productivity 100x

But you see my friend - most these stupid communities don’t let you just post random URLs. If people don’t understand what they are seeing they accuse you if being a bot. Article is fine IMO, phoronix I thought exclusively cover Linux and shit

God I hate google so much

Yeah but I think that’s just changed with ai.

Why? Are gonna write article?

Grateful for this graphene os team.
They are doing a great job.

Alienating google is not really a problem in my view, google is already alien and hostile to everyone so it changes nothing.

In will never emotionally recover after seeing those meme

they just blew up that saudi pipeline. cant transit anything like that

I feel like you’re missing the point entirely.

Bab-el-Mandeb is the southern gate of the Red Sea. Suez is the northern gate. You don’t need to own both doors to trap someone in the hallway - you just need to lock one. If the Houthis can effectively close Bab-el-Mandeb, they control whether ships can transit the Red Sea at all, which means they control the Suez route’s viability by default. That’s called chokepoint leverage, not “complete control of the whole Red Sea.”

Nobody said they planted a flag in Suez. They don’t have to. Egypt can own the canal all day - if the southern exit is a shooting gallery, the canal is a dead end.

So yes: technically you’re correct. Strategically, you’re arguing a distinction without a difference.

This just unfolded late last week. Whatvdo you mean they didn’t achieve it? It happened thursday. They are now sitting on a 20 km wide corridor and can surely stop whomever they want. They have all the same drones as Iran.

There is no Info - that’s why im saying there seems to be. a media coverup.

‘A f***-up of epic proportions’: Blame game begins after Iran-backed Houthis’ lightning advance down Red Sea coast

https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2026/09/centcom-chief-saudi-arabia-yemens-houthis-seize-bab-al-mandeb

US Navy Adm. Brad Cooper flew to the kingdom overnight Thursday as Yemen’s Riyadh-backed forces crumbled in the face of a lightning Houthi offensive

Houthis took critical chokepoint out of red sea that they couldn’t do for many years and now can effectively close it just like Iran closed other one- with very little effort needed. That effectively controls Suez passage

lemming? I couldnt tell

Yeah but can you really trust pixels? Google hardware, ewww. I would rather pay more for proper hardware

Very much needed.
This has been missing for years

I don’t mind reddit content. I want reddit without using reddit it’s that simpe

Lemmy is never going to be as big as Reddit. It financially cannot be.

Why not? That’s exactly the kind of assumption I’m questioning.

Federation is supposed to make scaling easier to distribute. More users can mean more instances, more admins, more donations, more infrastructure, and costs spread across the network.

“It can’t grow because we can’t afford growth” isn’t some fundamental property of federation. It’s an infrastructure problem to solve.

And “it doesn’t want to be” keeps coming up. Lemmy is software. It doesn’t want anything. Different users, admins, and developers clearly have very different ideas about what it should become.

I’m interested in seeing how far it can go, not declaring its ceiling in advance.

is that why lemmy has no hardware resources - they all communists?
also - are non communists allowed to join?

That’s just semantics. An alternative competes for the same users.

Your own source says Lemmy was created because Reddit was banning their communities. The whole point was giving those people somewhere else to go.

Call it an alternative, competitor, or communist escape pod. 😂 The question is the same:

What good is an alternative to Reddit if almost nobody adopts it?

because while I can - it wont do anything if lemmy is at 35k MAU. need distribution and volume. has to be onpar with large plaeyers

at the momen 35k MAU is 4x less than my wife cookie blog monthly sorry
