Oh neato, didn’t know that!

How about trying to explain your reasoning and try to get people to understand your perspective instead of insta-banning them and making them think that you are a dick and probably believe in things that dicks approve of.

This is a pretty shitty and convoluted analogy not gonna lie.

Poster is a mod of this community and has apparently been deleting comments willy-nilly.

If that’s the case, you’re a shitty mod not worthy of talking about late stage capitalism and perhaps your community is shit as a result of your actions and insecurity.

If it’s not true, I apologize for all that lol

I think lemmy.world is probably worth avoiding in general. Consolidated power in one instance is no better than Reddit.

To me it just shows lack of care in the topic. So easy to link an article. Not so easy to rub a couple brain cells together, I guess

Ok the fact that this seems like a plausible near-future is so messed up

Totally

Fair enough. Let’s agree to disagree! 🫲

God how I wish forums would see a resurgence. Back in the day they were so vibrant and fun!

I think we actually agree but there might be a partial misunderstanding. There was an example another commenter made of their experience with Xcancel. I think that explains it a bit more clearly.

Edit: this comment

That’s a perfect real world example

I would’ve been interested to hear that

Gotcha.

Hope you enjoy piefed, I learned about it shortly after joining lemmy.ca, and while I liked the look of it I just haven’t had a reason I’ve seen to make another move.

As in, you’re quoting me because you think my post’s content is busted and dumb? Or do you dislike that I said that?

I’m not sure because I don’t use piefed, but at least on Lemmy you can definitely downvote. Maybe try downvoting from another app or desktop?

Yeah that’s what I meant to express by saying “it’s fine”.

Moderators are free to moderate as they please, just as I am free to think it’s a largely widespread and pervasive problem overall.

Totally a place for ‘news-only’ communities which enforce certain websites or articles, but my point stands!

Subconsciously engrained way of doing things, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head!

Huge proportion of people here came from Reddit, and I guess it’s easier to do things the way we’re comfortable with. But that seems antithetical to the spirit and purpose of Lemmy and the Fediverse

/c/technology in lemmy.world

That’s one example

It would still gain traction before somebody noticed. And what does that say about the community?

Do they agree with the content of your ‘fake’ site? Do they just want to hear something they agree with regardless of the source?

I totally get your point. It’s still busted and dumb.

It’s worth trying out local or niche instances of lemmy as opposed to only the big ones. I think you’ll find a bit more peace that way. The internet is as the internet does, but there’s pockets of relief!

I have sympathy for non-profits. Did you ever use Gmail or Google Drive? Same concept.

If they’re smart enough, they’ll look for greener pastures, if they double down that’s when my sympathy ends.
