Lemmy is turning into a left-wing echo chamber. The mods have declared that right-leaning opinions are not welcome and are defederating from any right-leaning instances. If you declare that half the population is not welcome, you’re really limiting your reach. It’s also going to be a pain to have two logins, one for lemmy.world and one for the free speech instances.
Yeah, it’s nice. I’ve had it 2 years now. It’s sturdy, hasn’t broken yet. I’m not feeling the need to upgrade yet. If I was buying new, I’d get something newer. I was considering a GPD Win Mini, but $1000 is a lot and GPD has so many QA issues,
I have an RG351MP.
You create your own community. If the mods are jerks, you can convince people to switch.
Someone would just start their own lemmy instance if the mods are unreasonable.
Every handheld made in the past few years plays GB/GBC/GBA at 100%.
No. It just leads to people gaming the system. I also think that counting upvotes but not downvotes is also a good idea, when ranking which posts show first. Too many people use downvote for “I disagree”, which means a true idea with less than 50% popularity gets buried.
This is a recourse. You start your own node and block the offending node. Aren’t there features that let you block individual users?
A site like Reddit could be run on a skeleton crew of 20-50 people. That’s what Elon Musk is trying to do somewhat with Twitter, slashing unnecessary employees. (Example: How many people are working on lemmy?)
Look at it from the viewpoint of an executive. “I managed a 5 person team.” makes you sound like a loser. “I managed a 100 person division” makes you sound like a Big Important Person, even if 95 of those jobs were unnecessary.
Also look at it from the viewpoint of investors. If an investor puts $200M into Reddit, they want Reddit to be spending $100M-$200M on growth. No investor would put $200M into reddit if reddit was going to just run a barebones operation spending $20M per year and then coasting for 10 years off the investment money.
There’s a spreadsheet that lists the capabilities of the various devices. I don’t know where the S22 falls on the list. The devices use cheap chips that are available in bulk, so they generally will be less capable than a current top-end smartphone.

Simplest is Retroarch or Daijisho.
If you really want to get fancy, consider getting one of the cheap handhelds with build-in game controllers, like an Anbernic RG353 or Retroid Pocket.
Actually, the government did just call up Twitter and tell them to censor things. That’s the whole point of the Matt Taibbi Twitter Files stories. But you also have other non-government groups policing the Internet, calling up Twitter/Facebook/Google/etc and demanding censorship.
Switching to Discord is pointless. That’s switching from a website controlled by one evil corporation to one controlled by a different evil corporation. Discord is still in hyper-growth mode, so they aren’t going to be adding user-hostile features for awhile. Tilde has the same problem.
The webapp is good enough for me. (for lemmy)

They’re probably smart enough to not get caught nowadays.
How do you know that there’s only one person working the account? When you’re a reddit moderator, it’s anonymous (same on Wikipedia). For all we know, all the power mods are working at a PR firm somewhere. Spreading misinformation could be their full-time job. Controlling the flow of information on Reddit and Wikipedia could be worth more than Reddit’s actual profit.
With lemmy, if someone is squatting a bunch of forums and moderating them, you can always start your own lemmy instance and start your own forum with the same title.
There’s nobody to sue. The CEO is dead. Oceangate is a bankrupt company with no assets.
There’s really no reason to have more than one. You can only carry one at a time. I buy one and keep it until it breaks or is obsolete.
I currently have a 2 year old RG351MP.
Maybe the problem is that your definition of fascism is “anyone who disagrees with me”?
