Anon hates reddit

Don't suppose they have a fediverse equivalent space?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Asking about it was literally my first post on here. It would probably be against the rules, because a big part of it is making fun of national stereotypes and it might look racist, if you didn't know what's going on. I recommend checking it out on reddit. I think you'll quickly realize why it would be a problem here and you also run the risk of people taking it literally and attracting the wrong crowd.

The problem is that 4chan is too degenerate and reddit is too, well... reddit. Unfortunately Lemmy is far from perfect as well.
Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else

So found the Reddit reposting bot for it at [email protected] (its just a not that reposts thing from Reddit).
[email protected] looks more active. I'll take a peek at it this weekend.

I'd like a George Carlin / Bill Burr with some Carl Sagan as balance flavored community, please.

I got banned from unpopular opinions and a bunch of other communities on dbzer0 for activity not on that community. We're slowly turning into Reddit
¯\_(ツ)_/¯wrote last edited by [email protected]DBZero(and Blahaj) have skin so thin that a bible page across the arm causes bloodletting.
I'm surprised the owners don't divvy out ban quotas per month. Half of the users they ban aren't even conservatives, who just had logical misunderstandings with an admin one day; wannabe couch revolutionaries looking for targets in the absence of anything real to do.

This post did not contain any content.
I wish there was a board where people would have the ideology of the left but without bring so triggered by anything.
Just no concept of humor as a coping mechanism.

It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I'd be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯This. In recent months I've seen more and more hostile interactions and political strawmans than I can count. Been on Lemmy for over 2 years, and it hasn't changed for the worse until recently.

Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.

rational moderation is a pipedream

wrote last edited by [email protected]I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be "just right" if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
Addendum: This isn't even anyones fault specifically, but of human psychology. Read about tribalism and social sorting, it is depressing as fuck. If you disagree with somebody your brain automatically puts them in the "enemy team" and attributes everything you consider evil or negative with them, whether you like it or not.

It isn't. The baseline could be straight up illegal comments (defamation, threats, extortion, etc.) and some generally accepted rules among most worldviews on top of that.

This is so accurate I thought it worth acknowledging and repeating.

2westerneurope4u unironically has some of the most important and honest discussions among Europeans, because people don't need to worry that much about what they are writing. They have mastered less moderation, without becoming a hate filled cesspool.
Never ask 2westerneurope4u what they think about Sinti and Roma or eastern Europeans.

Well, it's a mixed bag. There are those who want to house the homeless, and there are those who want to house the homeless in tents made of landlord skins.

I think you replied to the wrong guy, but thanks anyways.

I did indeed but I'm glad you saw it because you put exactly how I've felt about Lemmy into words.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯wrote last edited by [email protected]Given that, according to your comment history, you think "homosexuality is morally wrong", I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here. On the whole, Lemmy has little patience for regressive ideology.

Yeah, it all changed after Trump's victory and all the crazy shit he started immediately doing. I have both contributed to the problem, and lamented the shift. I don't want this platform to be about slinging half-baked political takes (lumping myself in there, to be clear), but also I can't blame anyone for wanting to discuss the terrifying stuff we're seeing. Really was cooler here, even just 6 months ago.
