Lemmy is bullshit and the people awful. At least Reddit is free, I was donating to the Lemmy developers and paying to host my own social media. I have cancelled both.

A little bit about myself: I am a real person with issues. I was lucky to be able to figure out enough masking skills to hold down a job and have a family but yeah, I’m not normal.

I’m not interested in paying to be harassed by people like “ptz” who are pretending to take a high ground or instances that host communities designed to torment people like lemmy.ca, I’m not interested in random people downvoting my posts on my server for my friends. I’m not interested in people constantly repeating US politics and propaganda. Lemmy fucking sucks, I tried my best to make it better but to be honest, I don’t think it is me, it is you.

I appointed a friend as admin for the time being. If she likes it I will consider paying for the hosting.

Good bye, thanks for not fishing.

      I really can’t recommend hexbear for this purpose unless you legit just stay in the vegan comm and make it actually active. The majority of hexbear barely, begrudgingly tolerates vegan users because the existence of a couple vegan admins means that they’d get banned for being too frothingfash about the topic of veganism. But every time the topic comes up outside the vegan comm (and most of the time it comes up inside the vegan comm) tons of users come out of the woodwork to tell everyone how much they support animal abuse and hate people who don’t abuse animals. Sure the comments get removed, but nothing actually happens to the posters, even the repeat offenders, even the repeatedly banned offenders who come back and brag about having been banned and making a new account.
