How can we make the Fediverse more positive and wholesome?

I'll go for the technical side: having a distributed accounts manager so you only need one account to use every aspect of the Fediverse.

I thought that was part of the package when I made a lemmy account. Man was I disappointed.

Maybe dispense with the power-tripping moderators and also give me lots of money

When you've been shown facts that contradict your argument, concede politely. People will respect you for it. In fact they'll probably respect you more than if you go down endless chains of trying to save face.
Remember, this should go both ways. There will be times when people concede to you, and other times when you need to concede.
I don't think it needs to take very many people doing this to create a snowball effect where it becomes the common way to debate.

ban Nazi's and defederate from fascist instances.
Do you have examples of fascists instances so i can block them?

In a world where trolling was done as a recreational activity, this was a good strategy. This is not that world anymore, though, this is a world where right wing fight clubs are popping up in dozens of countries. Trolls are no longer recreational, they're trying to slowly and gradually change the world in their image.
You're right that it seems trolling is "weaponized" now. However, I (optimistically) don't want to (cynically) admit weaponized trolling is the rule instead of the exception.

Sorry... I know that is not the answer you were looking for, but it felt right, and sometimes you just have to go where your heart leads you.

it's cool though because the fediverse has no incentives to increase engagement which means our ragebait is all organic and free of the profit motive!

Change the world to be less hostile toward ordinary people. Improve general conditions and decrease inequality. I know it's a tall order, but it's a pretty big step toward people being less angry, aggrieved, and sullen.
More attainable, and not applicable to everyone (but works on me), more pics of kittens and puppies and other cute critters. Sorry that I don't have a more actionable philosophical suggestion.

Hmm, maybe some more diversity? Right now it seems to be mostly hypernerds who use fediverse services. When was "Ask Lemmy" about web development questions.. you know

I have ran into more fascist supporting shit heels from those instances than anywhere else.

Implement a way for users to subscribe to an updating community/user blocklist. That way new users can get rid of all the crazies and block all the ml instances.

Try not to fall into the trap of groupthink. The "reddit hive mind" was one of the worst things about our predecessor, and it seems to have followed us here.

Understand that humans are not, and never will be, perfect. Endless purity tests do not accomplish anything other than turning away newcomers.

For the love of God, pick up a hobby. My feed on any given day is 99.8% US politics and activism. I'm not saying that these things aren't important, but it gets exhausting when it's the only thing people want to discuss.

There's two subreddits I really miss: AskScience and AskHistorians. I was a regular and flaired contributor to AskScience, but its super helpful to generate a response when there's a good question. It would feel weird opining on a random science topic that I come up with. And I loved the well sourced AskHistorians posts. When I do see a c/AskHistorian post on Lemmy the responses are very low effort

seriously? I'd expect .ml (and hexbear, but you didn't mention that one), but the others have been quite excellent in my experience.

I'm not a furry because I don't have a fursona. To have a fursona I'd have to choose one of my oc's to elevate above the rest.
