I think its because we aren’t allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I’ve been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don’t have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I’m too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren’t seeing a lot of content.
Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.
being left leaning is not the issue, but when opinions even slightly to the right of extreme left are censored and removed, it doesn’t encourage participation or conversation
Where is that happenening outside of lemmygrad? I have literally never once seen that happening outside of that place…
Though it happens literally 24/7 on alt-right social media or reddit /r/conservative 😂 you can speedrun any% ban time by saying “I think covid was handled poorly” lol
Hell no. Gas stoves heat the air more than they heat food, they’re dirty (both in terms of emissions and being a bugger to clean) and not a single bit faster. With ordinary resistive electric you might’ve had half a point, gas has its pros and cons there, but induction is superior to all in all relevant metrics. Well, modulo woks that’s a different topic but do you even have one.
Gladly so. After all, all I proved is that I care about how well a thing works, not about how old or new it is. For you, as a liberal, of course, “working well” is a category that includes capitalism so…
No images is I think a lemm.ee-only thing, other instances are still allowing it. It was severely size-limited even before the whole CSAM situation to save on storage, and, IIRC, paraphrasing sunaurus: “Imgur exists.”
CSAM Spam. That’s what happened. Most people thankfully only noticed the moderator posts, but those understandably don’t want to have to filter that all day long.
I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.
But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.
It’s starting to be clear that the whole “ML - Leninism Marxism” was actually a big part of Lemmy.
I’m a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don’t feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist…
Extreme leftist politics, memes, linux, a weirdly active Star Trek community (comparatively) and blocking furry/anime porn communities daily. That’s been my experience so far.

Plenty of liberal techbros around on lemmy. Also are you aware of the Nazi Bar phenomenon.
I’m liberal, but no techbro. Try saying something remotely luddite and watch what happens.
Iron pans >>> Teflon.
Gas stove >>> induction stove

My point has been proven. You fell right into my trap.
Literally the entire point of this thread is that “you get censored for saying things that aren’t hard left.”
Someone disagreeing with you is literally the furthest thing from censure. They can still see and react enough to disagree with you.
Look, you comment is still up and will stay up forever. What a shit trap when you don’t even know what you are trying to “prove.”
Also, both gas and induction have their place. Not everything is either/or.

Can you explain to me what happened a couple months ago why people can’t post pictures? And what should one do to enable it?

How so?
Im not sure how lemm.ee handles it but a lot of instances that aren’t lemm.ee dont have uploads disabled
For example this post has an image uploaded to .world
Idk reddit even has become wayy more leftist. Its just the inevitable trend
