Is fediverse turning into reddit?
-
["bro" is] often used either to diminish what someone says or as a false slow of friendship
As petty and lame the warning and ban was, I can't exactly argue with this statement. I can understand where that's coming from. It's not true for me personally, but I bet it is with others.
Either way, that's such a basic word that we can't ban its use, come on bro...
there's having thin skin, and then there's having skin so thin the word bro sets you off...
-
I was banned lol. Oh no! What will I ever do!?
I read this in the "cartman crying to his mom" voice

Fediverse can newer turn to redit, because of tehnical diferences.
If you have system that works in diferent way than you have something that is truly diferent.
Often you have system that is the same but they clame its diferent. But thats not the case with fediverse..

I don't know, but my bot sense tingles a lot less in Lemmy. There also isn't a hidden penalization score that can be associated to accounts like on Reddit, what you see is what you get. Almost no backend shenanigans, not even shadow bans. If only it didn't hide downvote information like on Reddit.

Lmao at the Antifa community dominating the front page
rent free, ironically

Any position of power should be chosen by the people of that community, not picked by the others already in power
Don't disagree fully, but time/energy is definitely a factor in this. I'm really not going to care enough to make an educated vote in all the communities that I'm in, I have better things to do. And likewise for a lot of people probably. Having 3 people vote in a mod doesn't exactly give confidence either, it makes it easy to game the system. For smaller communities it's probably better to retain the "benevolent dictator" system and punish any unruly mods with abandoning their community for a new one.

I did not ban you, call you out publically, or insult you in any way
I decided to ban you
lolwut.
He didn't call you out publically because ke was afraid of the rightfuk and expected backlash.
Threats done in private have a larger chance of success, and they knew it.

Always has been.

Exactly. You can't spam upvites, because the problem with spam is that it buries and dilutes actual, useful, quality content. A user "spamming" upvoting or downvoting isn't really actionable spam - his up/downvote isn't drowning out the others.
The problem is brigading - when multiple people start mass up/downvoting and water down other votes.
Same goes for spaming votes with multiole accounts.

Or good old lottery instead of voting. Lottery getting random users to be mod for a curtain time

Voyager shows down votes if you choose.

You should link it like this: !maga.place
Edit: Nevermind, that doesn't work. Maybe that's a Lemmy only thing.

People like this existed before reddit, back then you just say fuck that guy and go to a different forum.
Funnily enough that's exactly what this post here is for. It animates people to ignore that instance.
-
Prying into who has downvoted you is just not a healthy habit to get into. If you run your own instance, it's important to just never use that ability.
IMO, this is the kind of DM that is best ignored. I think most of us don't want these communities to work like that; don't give it any oxygen.
Yeah, it's good to have to check for vote manipulation, but if you don't suspect that you should just avoid looking.

It's already been a playground for mods with an agenda.
The good thing is that we can all start up alternate communities without the abuse. The problem is that it's rare to find admins/mods that don't abuse their power.

Here’s the offensive “bro” speak. What a loser.
What a cunt aye. At least you know who to block now, no need for that sort of childish treatment

Definitely
