It's a little bit dramatic, it's a little bit wordy.
Yup, it probably is a genuine thing from the source: certainly, it was written by a redditor.

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Another reddexit?
There have been multiple, i left at the second, but reddit is filled to the brim with AI accounts and people who have no idea. Even if its all fake, reddit has enough traffic Tongo on for a while.
revolutions are born in monents like these
Holy shit can this whole thing be any more corny? Is this done by teenagers? Don’t get me wrong fuck Musk/reddit/etc. but what is even the outrage about this time?
Subreddits are being banned and important information being hindered from being seen. It may be corny to you but at least they're trying. What have you done?
I'm not sure if I share the exact same sentiment as @mint_tamas@lemmy.world, but I honestly did have the thought of, "Who (or For Whom), does this format work for anymore?"
Like I get it, it's classical and all. A call back to a historic time where action was taken (just don't look into it too hard, you'll get disappointed if you learn outside the "Americuh" version). But, now it just feels a little ... disingenuous? Idk the exact word/feeling, maybe because it's been co-opted by so many bad actors or maybe that we're talking about social media websites.
I guess this format gives off a dude's "Love, Live, Laugh" version of righteousness, that even though the message may be correct, it just feels like a weird marketing technique.
runs from censorship
goes to Lemmy.ml
I think that kind of defeats your point here
.world straight up blocks /c/piracy and "preemptively" blocked hexbear.
They blocked piracy for like a day over a year ago and then unblocked it when the users were clearly against it.
Hexbear being blocked is a good thing and overwhelmingly supported by the users.
Blocking hexbear is a sensible choice, good for them.
- blocking hexbear is a good idea
- ~~world unblocked priacy instances over a year ago~~ with the notable exception of the db0 instance
World went back and banned dbo piracy comm after banning then unbanning when people noticed
just checked if I can see piracy on lemmy.world and yes you're correct. Though it seems only the db0 instance was banned in particular weirdly.
I still stand by point 1 though. Hexbear as an instance has been profile-blocked by me.
lemmy.dbzer0.com then? 😎
Imagine running from censorship and going to Lemmy.ml lmao
Right? Way to destroy a movement and make a bunch of people run back to Reddit and "never again".
Technically correct, but I wonder how people are gonna handle the really serious dictator shit, like friends and relatives disappearing instead of tweets.
We need a place to communicate, coordinate, and share what's happening. Control of the narrative and the ability to prevent coordinated responses are essential for their plans.
I love it, but I fear for the day Lemmy becomes so popular that it is worthwhile for the corporate bots to begin gaming Lemmy’s algorithm to dominate front pages. I don’t think Lemmy is prepared to defend against this.
I think we might reach a point that, instead of one application in the beginning, we'd have to have periodic "re-verification" to prove that you are human (and haven't been taken over by a bot). Like maybe once every 6 months. And on the 5th month, you can begin early submission for the re-verification application.
I am still new to the fediverse but I figured that smaller constellations will federate without connecting to the largest federation.
It’s harder to manipulate 500 disjoint federations than 1 really large one. Especially when some of those federations rely on heavy verification.
Of course those smaller federations are likely organized around specific purposes or organizing interests rather than broad public discourse.
Part of what makes Reddit so great is the huge community of content creators. Both the posts and comments. Lemmy has slowly been catching up, but still is far off.
Defederating from large instances will just result in lower quality content for those instances. I would hope there’d be a better solution, but I’m not smart enough to think of one.
Maybe the secret is to let each instance control their own sorting algorithm. They keep getting the content from the large instances, but control how it gets brought to the front page. My guess is this would be no small task, but that would definitely make it difficult to game the algorithm.
