I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

I still love Lemmy, and my main Lemmy instance. But ugh, everything is getting so political and extreme everywhere. I'm trying to transition into just posting my writing and staying in writing communities, but my reputation proceeds me (still no regrets and I still believe in everything I said) and things can downgrade pretty quick.
And if I came up with an alt name, people would recognize my writing and say I was ban-evading.
So ugh, we'll see. I'm trying to just stay out of everything political, but people mention my fucking name all the time anytime someone talks about "trolls." And I never back down when I get false accused. lmao
I think the issue is that too many people think they can social-media post their way back to the Biden-era. Although in this particular Lemmy instance there's also the pro-Russia stuff (that's a different beast, and I don't know where it comes from).
There's no solution to our political crisis that doesn't involve touching grass.
I see how you feel with your Peertube song.
Of course, Lemmy is an amazing FOSS tool, just sad many people (if so) are a bit toxic... Of course, I was blamed in the past as troll, bot, pro-putin, pro-china, pro-european, pro-american... and few actually get involved in a insightful conversation. The way i see it, Lemmy (or any of these mediums) are just entertainment and our work should be in the real world, with your neighbors and physical communities.
haha, thanks! Yeah, I was feeling creative that day. I figured, "Hey, I should make a Lemmy song!" You reminded me of it, so I posted it to a nerdcore comm just now. lol
I'm with ya. I LOVE the decentralized nature and concept of Lemmy. Just wish some of the more extreme rhetoric would die down. Because this would make a great creative space. People should def not take it quite so seriously and spend more time outside.
But as an aside, I just had a talk with one of the admins for my instance, and it was a great convo and they are supported of creatives here. So right now, feeling good.
