Okay so I'm already close to wanting to leave Lemmy (lemmy.world)

Yeah I'm only one person here, whatever, big deal.

Anywho, it's annoying to me that I'm inches away from leaving Lemmy because it's instability right now is getting bothersome to use it. People have told me that there are other instances but the dealbreaker for me is to use yet more logins to use them, some of which may take time to get into because some lemmy servers have a review team that has to look over some things before allowing you in.

Then, from that, it's wonderful to run into and be confronted by shitty people who behave too similarly to the assholes I'd run across on Reddit. With their dishonest takes, participating in bad faith, their brigading and all that. We're supposed to be, mostly, done with this Reddit shit but I feel like overtime, it'll just all be contaminated with Reddit shit that we don't need more of.

I've only been on here for over a week and my hopes are considerably low. My only options right now is to simply once again go back to Reddit and just tolerate the shit there while wishing death on the nobodies that spend their waking hour on just shitposting on others for their own cynical amusement because their mothers forgot to swallow.

And the other is to just simply water down my usage of the other social media platforms that I am on because this whole social media thing is getting stupidly silly and ridiculous as it is.

Okay, first thing: Lemmy is Federated. This means you don't need new logins. See a community on a different server? So long as the server it is on hasn't been defederated you can read, vote, post and comment just fine on it. For example, I'm not on this server.

The only time you would need more than one login is if you wanted separate accounts. Whether they are on different servers or not doesn't matter so long as they are all on the same Federation/web of connected servers.

Second, complaining about Social Media issues on a SM platform is pointless. The people that aren't problems won't care, and the people that are will just feed on it and use it against you. Don't like the thundering shithole that is all Social Media anymore? By all means, leave. I absolutely understand and agree with the sentiment. Maintain your mental health for your good and those you interact with IRL.

I feel like you ignored their chief issue, which is that if your original server (IE. lemmy.world) goes down then nothing works for you. In that situation you have to switch to a new server to be able to view anything, and likely need to create a new account on that server. There's some other catches to this as well that makes it more problematic than just that.

They were definitely told the "it doesn't matter what server you choose" line when they looked at lemmy, but in reality that's not entirely true if a server isn't that stable.

Make a new account on a server with the same name and password, works for me. I use sh.itjust.works but have a lemmy.world acc with the same login creds.

I agree though, there are flaws to the system, but I'd say the benefits outweigh them

[–] Burstar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

They're blaming all of Lemmy for 1 particular server's issues. Maybe a stability tracker of some sort to go with the 'total users' metric in the instance list would solve that?
