Your argument: lemmy is shit because its creators are communists and it isn’t decentralized because most of the traffic is on lemmy.world
BTC is and still is a decentralized project, a few actors gained a lot of power over the network but that is another story, similarly you could argue that a bunch of people run the finance world.
Bitcoin and ethereum blockchains are built to be open, public and decentralized. The difference between these and a bank could be compared to the difference between reddit and lemmy. Is reddit a scam? Perhaps not on a large scale but it has all the potential to become a scam once its executives decide to do so. Lemmy is not owned by a single person which makes it way more harder to “control”.

You can support lemmy by donating cryptocurrencies, they are not only used by scammers.
Most of crypto volume is done on bitcoin and ethereum network which are built to be less scammy than a bank. You could indeed argue that 99.9% of existing cryptocurrencies are scam because there are thousand existing projects that imitates bitcoin, similarly one could argue that 99.9% iphones copies are a scam
Your argument sounds like “pc are bads because of virus”
A free and direct tip system that doesn’t force you to use credit cards would be quite useful
Having to deal with crypto means having to deal with crytpo bros
The internet was also a better place when people using it were more open minded
Fuck capitalism, fuck the government, and fuck Donald Trump.

Lemmy is decentralized and admins of any instance can see upvotes/downvotes and moderate their instance as they want, we are far from reddit where the ceo of the company can decide to censor the whole platform.
I would like to highlight another problem that makes lemmy stink as much as reddit: why are you posting this in the asklemmy sub? Popular content on global frontpage is shit and a bunch of sub are hijacking all the traffic, had you posted this in another sub there would be 5 comments at best.
In medicine you chose the best option not the lesser evil
There are some unofficial pages on the fediverse: https://mastodon.bida.im/@globalsumudflotilla
But yeah no links or mentions to mastodon and federated platforms on their website
You are not expected to sit and let it happen, that’s what the handful wants you to do.
Wi-Fi mesh might be possible with neighbors, but mitm is extremely likely.
While not secure it could still provide a free and censorship-less alternative to the internet
Frankly, the answer should be for every site to just cut the UK off entirely.
Tech corporations own most popular and visited websites/services, they are not going to do it. That said you have countries with major websites blocked like russia or china, while it upset many people censored internet is also a strong tool to brainwash people so don’t assume a blockage would lead to a positive outcome.
The main thing to do is remain calm, make it a key voter issue, and watch the bastards fold right before the next election.
What’s your plan to make it a key voter issue? Lamenting about it on censored internet?
We need bulletproof alternatives and solutions.
You are not overreacting, an alternative to internet is needed and it’s not that hard to create, there are many projects already of networks working over radio and wifi, we should probably just stick to one of these and work to expand it
why milk/cheese and beef dairy are two different charts?
Lies and manipulation do not lead to good social interactions.
successful financially and socially
Going around with a machete makes you more successful predator. Being successful financially doesn’t mean shit and neither does having followers on social media.
How do you know that most active members are men? To me it sound you are being sexist here and judging people by their posts. Also where have you seen rife misogyny? Lemmy community is quite open and there are different instances you can chose each with its policies.
I don’t know much about US government but i believe the US president has some power over states granted by constitution. Bitcoin isn’t designed to have a president that can chose for others.
