Is fediverse turning into reddit?
-
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.
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.

Hereās the offensive ābroā speak. What a loser.
What a cunt aye. At least you know who to block now, no need for that sort of childish treatment
-
there's having thin skin, and then there's having skin so thin the word bro sets you off...
Definitely

A random mod being unreasonable doesn't turn us all into reddit though. Unlike reddit, we can always open another comm with the same name and avoid the bastards.
Newbie here. What if the mod issues an instance-wide ban?

Then they're an instance admin, not a mod, and you probably didn't want to be on their instance anyway. Unlike an admin ban on Reddit, it doesn't stop you using Lemmy/mbin/Piefed as there are other instances.

Bro, I can't believe someone could be that offended over the word bro. Like, really bro?
My daughter and her bestie call each other bro all the time. I refer to them as you guys all the time too. Some language that sounds gendered is in fact, not. I'm not ever trying to be a dick, but I refuse to walk on eggshells either.

In the current internet it's sadly necessary to enforce very strict rules to keep the space civil. The vast majority of active users are trolls (just look at the success of Toilet Paper's Kirk's campaigns against intellectuals). Keeping bro-culture out is not a bad idea since it's a quite toxic culture often hostile towards women and queer persons.
If you're looking for bro spaces, go somewhere (or create a comm) that's accepting of it. If you like the space, simply follow the rules.

You can choose not to be offended tho.
whatever you say shit for brains

Iāve upset a prominent mod on Lemmy.world so much by simply having a differing opinion that they banned me from their sub instantly and permanently (with no ban reason given) and then must have vine and asked their other mod buddies to ban me from their communities that Iād literally never so much as even visited lol. Within probably 15 mins of the initial ban I was banned from 3 other communities permanently, and that mod wasnāt a mod on them.
I messaged a few of the other mods on the main sub to let them know what he did, but didnāt hear so much as a peep from them.
what community was it?

bro spaces
I never made the connection, but that really is their language now

Are you even a āprogressiveā if youāre not constantly actively looking for things to be offended/outraged about so you can try and censor someone who has a different opinion?
If by āconstantly lookingā you mean āsurrounded by fucked up shit from a country that claims to be free and take care of its own, but literally the oppositeā then yeah I suppose it does

Plenty of people use the word without actually being toxic at all. Sure, the people you're talking about excessively use that word. But using that word doesn't make you toxic. There is no history of that word being used to hurt people, unlike the n-word for example.
How about we judge people by what they are actually saying instead of the words they're using?
