Is fediverse turning into reddit?

Yeah were there already, I once said “that’s lunacy, it would never work” in a political news thread and got removed for “abelism” lol
And that’s when I’ve been told why, most times it’s because you disagree with the echo chamber and you get a removal or straight up ban.

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.
The dorks who were mad at Reddit mods ran over here, became mods and are now being the bullies

No joke, Periodic changing of mods might be a better long term strategy. Or like you said a small election from time to time.
Regularly electing new mods will eventually lead to a similar path of only attracting the power hungry, (like any political position). Or you simply run out of qualified people silly enough to put up with the great unwashed masses, (riding herd on a community of ant kind is a very large pain in the arse-- Got that tee shirt don't want another)
-
Or even better - just let us moderate what we see ourselves. There’s no need for some wannabe dictators to get to decide what we can read or say. I don’t need or want an echo chamber of the mods preferred:allowed opinions and ideologies. As long as it doesn’t break the law just leave it and whoever said it alone, and let everyone else decide how they want to handle it.
Ahh, the Tyranny of the Crowd. The form of governance that has brought you lynchings and even the French Revolution.

Lemmy is decentralized and admins of any instance can see upvotes/downvotes and moderate their instance as they want, we are far from reddit where the ceo of the company can decide to censor the whole platform.
I would like to highlight another problem that makes lemmy stink as much as reddit: why are you posting this in the asklemmy sub? Popular content on global frontpage is shit and a bunch of sub are hijacking all the traffic, had you posted this in another sub there would be 5 comments at best.

On Voyager you can set tags on users and add an arbitrary amount of up or downvotes to their account. Looks like another will get the -1000 downvote + twat tag award!

Lmao
"lmao" is offensive >:c

LOL, I don't think the admin is getting the content they expected there

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.
[bro] is when neither friend, buddy, pal, dude, girl, maboy and magirl work because they are too friendly nor you little shit, fuckhead, asshat, dickface and pussy work because they’re too insulting.
-
Got the same message LOL, I was also one of the down voters.
Had no idea mods can see voting stats.
This mod is weird and creepy for the message alone, stalking down voters WTF? Obviously thin skinned and on a power trip.
The freedom of anyone being able to start their own instance, then get a load of the ones that own their own servers... Some will be assholes on a power trip. It's bound to happen.
I never look at who’s voting on what lol. I don’t care and think that shit’s creepy
-
did you call a trans person bro in a demening context? don't do that please, but otherwise I don't understand why a user reported you for that
I was never in the exchange. I just downvoted. It wasn’t anything like that. Just how people normally use the term.
-
I was banned lol. Oh no! What will I ever do!?

Is this an age and location thing? Because I’m a millennial and Californian as heck and use “bro” “dude” “man” to everybody lol
-
You should link it like this: !maga.place
Edit: Nevermind, that doesn't work. Maybe that's a Lemmy only thing.
That only works for communities.
-
There's always more hentai to block
Lots of botted communities too. I’d rather posts come from real people and my “All” feed not get flooded.

It doesn't work for me (400 error), but it might be defederated?

bro, bro hates the word bro for no reason.
@[email protected] bro, what is wrong with the word bro?

Seriously, the amount of mods here power tripping "for the greater good of the world" is ridiculous. Good for their ego, bad for everyone else. But again like someone else said, you can just move somewhere else and avoid shitty moderators easily.

Unpopular opinion: y'all call everything you don't like "reddit" (while the average Lemmy user is a lot of what people who don't use either dislike about reddit)
Reddit is lemmy's woke.
