The best thing you can do for the fediverse is just be kind
-
The fediverse is small, and thats both a blessing and a curse - one of its several blessings is that in a smaller space we all individually have a bigger impact on what the culture of this space is like.
On this comm (and on lemmy broadly) there's a lot of discussion about how to grow the fediverse, what to improve, but an easy thing you can do for the fediverse is right in front of us-
-
Be kind
-
Ask people what they think, and why
-
Approach folks you disagree with with curiosity rather than hostility
-
Engage sincerely
-
Ask yourself if there's something nice you can say
-
Make this small space worth being in
A platform lives or dies by what's available on said platform and often we have this conversation in the context of "content" or posts - and we may never have as much content as reddit does. But content and posts aren't the only thing this kind of platform offers- it also offers people. It offers community, and human interaction.
Culture and community is lemmy and the fediverse's biggest differentiator, and we all have a role to play in shaping the culture of this space.
The biggest thing you can do to help the fediverse is make it a place worth being.

Don't call me bub, guy!

These days everyone who is not ultra-left easily gets labelled as Nazi, similarly everyone who brings up any rather left argument will be called a woke snowflake.
What the hell are you smoking? Have you turned on the news? Paid attention to politicians? Check in with how exactly companies chose to sustain and expand DEI (A <- where did the accessibility go we wonder?) after Trump and DOGE attacked it?
You are so wrong, if the universe repeated at the edge of itself like in the old Asteroids arcade game, you would have long ago crossed into Very Right by slamming straight past the most extreme extent of Completely Wrong.
Wow, keep your emotions at bay, will you?
Not even sure what to respond, except for what I wrote previously: A lot of discourse is broken by calling people whatever and not listening.
You are somewhat setting an example of what I am talking about, since I am not even disagreeing with the opinion that I am infering from your writing.

Tell that to the people who make a dozen sockpuppet accounts to insult me just because I disagreed with them.

Lol. How fucking faaaaar right do you have to be to consider .world tankie.

Keep spouting that tankie rhetoric. "Anyone who calls me out for my similarities to MAGA surely are the far right ones!" Lmao
Least incoherent anti-communist

If you look at their past interactions with "tankies", they're all the opposite of what you say they should be: it's the "tankie" calmly and reasonably making their points while SoftestSaphic immediately descends into an incoherent raging tantrum.

Oh and I keep getting comments removed by mods just for calling out a tankie, but sure lemmy.world isn't infested with y'all.
If you're getting comments removed from .world of all places, it's not because you're "calling out a tankie", that's for sure. I'm assuming it's more "screeching at a socdem".

1,400+ comments in 3 months. You do nothing in the real world. Terminally online. Your ideals are performative and you're here sowing dissent in leftist circles. That's exactly what tankies do.
Lol, I can see why even .world doesn't want you.

Lol. Your little tantrum of personal insults was you not having any refutations in the first place.

Not really. I gave sources of Ukrainian genocide, and it got removed. Y'all in the general sense, if you dont identify as a tankie, great. Maybe stop taking the bait then? Doesn't feel like it from where I'm standing though.
I gave sources of Ukrainian genocide, and it got removed.
Why was it removed.
if you dont identify as a tankie, great.
Nah, that's not it, it's that I don't fit the definition of tankie that you yourself articulated.
Doesn’t feel
Yes, I was already pretty convinced that who you call a tankie is entirely based on "feeling"
-
Ah, sorry I hit a nerve. That does explain why you flipped your shit so much

Dunno, ask the mod who removed it. I gave a very, very basic definition and you're acting like it can't be expanded upon or further elaborated. How very rigid of you. So, I have actual work to go do, in my community, helping others and practicing the ideals that I preach. Good luck not doing any of that here
By the way, if the word tankie offends you so much, it might be because you have more in common than you'd like.

Every time I engage with you tankies it results in mockery, lies, trolling, genocidal denial, intolerance, and pushing mostly Russian propaganda. You really aren't welcome here.
What are you talking about? We've already establish that I'm not a tankie by your own definition. And yes, it does look like your interactions with "tankies" result in you degenerating into mockery, lies, trolling, genocide denial and intolerance. I don't know if your propaganda is "Russian", but then again, I don't know how one would determine the nationality of "propaganda" in the first place.
