yes, one of the .world donations tiers ($8) specifically says that you will be allowed to put a blue check mark next to your name, but also that you’re already allowed to do that lol

I’m contributing monthly to both lemmy.world and wefwef. I am fortunate to be able to do so, and I want to help them be successful during this critical growth time.

90% of the time I see a comment like this, the “differing opinion” was something along the lines of “trans people have a mental disorder and we shouldn’t encourage them to exist by allowing them to transition” or “it should be legal to discriminate against black people”. No one gets banned for their conservative fiscal opinions lol

Thank you, I just read your comment about how we grow as we grow, and it reflects my sentiments exactly. I really like the way you write, it has harmony. We can’t expect others to feel how we feel, and being full of rage won’t move us in the direction we want.

I understand where you’re coming from, and I’m glad you made the move to lemmy. I myself came from Reddit just a few days ago and I have no plans to return. I also understand being frustrated by people not wanting to leave Reddit, you are right that it limits the potential of communities on lemmy, and it sucks. I’m not saying people shouldn’t talk about how they wish more redditors would leave.

For me, I’m just sick of the vitriol and hate that is all over this thread. People seem genuinely furious at the notion that not everyone is willing to join their crusade. I’m not sure if you’re justifying the vitriol or just the sentiment that people really should leave Reddit. If justifying the vitriol, your comment kind of reminds me of formerly fat people saying “I lost weight because I was bullied for being overweight, therefore it is actually a good thing to keep bullying fat people. I’m actually doing this because I care about their health, they’ll feel so much better and be so much healthier when they lose the weight!” Some people respond well to being mocked and shit on, most don’t. It just isn’t helpful and for 99% of people it just fuels negative feelings rather than a drive for change.

Jesus, this is the energy I wish was left behind on Reddit. People staying on Reddit does not impact you in any way, why does it enrage you to this extent? Who gives a shit if they continue to subject themselves to ads and bring under the control of a corporation? They don’t care, why do you? It is a waste of your energy, and the sheer toxicity of calling them dumbfuck cowards, saying they’re as bad as spez, is just ridiculous and pathetic.

Maybe I should switch to a smaller lemmy, if this is the vibe redditors want to bring to lemmy.

You’re right but you’re also kind of a dick about it, unnecessarily. I’ve been seeing all kinds of posts about the positivity on lemmy, this doesn’t match the vibe dude
