Lemmy.ml is foss technology topics focused and most of its users are leftists; this is something you could only know by hanging out on Lemmy long enough.

The other 2 are leftist politics focused with general interest topics and they say so in their descriptions.

you’re nicer than i am; i just send them a link to my github/gitlab repo’s and then COMPLETELY check out.

those subreddits are well represented as .ml, lemmygrad and hexbear on lemmy.

lemmy itself is a spiritual successor to r/communism, r/socialism, r/anarchy, r/marxism, etc. mixed with r/linux, r/foss, r/technology, etc.

those subreddits exist and i was part of them (they were the ones who told me about lemmy) and, yes, they’re dead and/or dying because the constant and overwhelming stream of clueless “gotchas” from people unaware of their propagandization is depressing and tiring AF and that made most/all of the leftists redditors leave for islands of sanity, like lemmy.

i’m only partially grateful that reddit’s enshitification pushed people here since they’re perpetuating the same asshattery that’s made reddit and this country turn into shit.

i’m thankful for it; my leftists leaning were already unwelcomed on reddit as much as they are on .world and that episode taught me that the alternatives were significantly better; i would still be on reddit if it weren’t for that and it’s so much better having islands of sanity whose members can see the neoliberal wool being pulled over american’s eyes.

some part of me hopes that microsoft will enshitify github enough to enable decentralization like this like reddit did to enable lemmy adoption and twitter did for discord adoption.

i guess my side of the boiling pot got too hot faster than the rest did and my event was the reddit blackout protest; all of the subreddits i frequented when dark and it forced me onto lemmy.

i doubt reddit will ever become irrelevant considering how much people decry the fascism surpression that typifies other platforms like facebook or twitter; but both continuing to enjoy dominance.

it’s mind boggling to me why anyone stays on reddit.

– and onto increasing centralizing instances where they duplicate reddit’s behavior.

does everyone watch this guy?

sometimes, it feels like this field is tiny and highly susceptible to fads; part of me is glad that i’ve left it.

i saw something like this once and their source was the neatest and most professional i’ve ever seen and it’s convinced me that this is the only way refactoring ever happens.

i only recognized one of them and I AM concerned. lol

who cares about mars?! i’d be happy just to get him in the sky and let it crash land.

i forget on the same day; i literally keep a log of everything i did that day so i can look it up. lol

my favorite one is: attention to detail

and it means: we’ll nail you for any bug we accidentally discover; but will create many more of our own.

i call them greybeards since that’s what they were called in decades past and i’m old now. lol

sometimes it feels like they’re doing it on purpose.

yesterday, i asked for it to create a basic rest api authentication function/method and it gave me something back that explicitly disabled ssl and when i asked why; it simply said “oops”.

the dark themes work for me too and that’s mostly because i use to HEAVILY customize my own x-windows; i created a LCARS interface at the highest extent and destroyed it by accident.
