The best thing you can do for the fediverse is just be kind

I notice tons and tons of hostility in comments. And I think it's from people jumping to the worst possible conclusion.
I knew that would happen, but you're not wrong
As I've alluded to, there's a lot of justifiable anger about the state of the world, and you can see that hurt reflected in people's immediate response. The feelings driving that "conclusion jumping" valid and understandable, even if I don't think it's productive
There is no easy way to cope with fascism on your doorstep, or taking over your home and threatening to throw you out of it

Well, I certainly do appreciate seeing people like yourself making an active effort to bring some sanity back to the web. Keep it up!
Thank you friend, I really appreciate that!
Take care!

Sorry but right wingers aren't welcome here.
If (Republicans/Tankies/Fascists) want any voice here they can go get fucked.
If they acted in good faith and were capable of processing reality they wouldn't identify as such.
Your comment history is deranged

Lemmy is filled with too much hate, hopefully things can change
Aww thanks.
I didn't even know that was a thing. Neat.

Look what you made me do!
I wouldn't have considered genocide, if you weren't so idealistic!!
If you had only partnered up with the people who only car about money, we could have returned to the status quo.
Mate, the goal is to be idealistic. No one is perfect, but we want to strive for what's the best and hope we reach there some day.
Yes, but not at the cost of letting fascists win. Harm reduction is real.

Saved because would be interesting to read what the people that want to set others property on fire and guillotine people, think that is actually being kind
I'm not sure I follow-
Are you saying you think I want to set people's stuff on fire and guillotine people, or that you think responders in this thread do? -
expose your fetishes
now
you have no choice
No choice? Oh my~

i hope the quality stays up in here and we don't enshittify like reddit facebook and every other bigger internet network.
I wish too. Unfortunately, the redditors are coming here, and i've noticed a pretty big spike in racism/transphobia
I've been trying to keep them on a leash, reporting them to other admins directly and banning them from dbzer0, but the attitude itself being there disappoints me heavily

Unless you're a republican or other type of nazi. Then you can absolutely go all the way to hell.
Tolerance got us here.
Lol the irony

Bro can't you even follow the premise of the thread for like 2 comments

The fediverse is small, and thats both a blessing and a curse - one of its several blessings is that in a smaller space we all individually have a bigger impact on what the culture of this space is like.
On this comm (and on lemmy broadly) there's a lot of discussion about how to grow the fediverse, what to improve, but an easy thing you can do for the fediverse is right in front of us-
-
Be kind
-
Ask people what they think, and why
-
Approach folks you disagree with with curiosity rather than hostility
-
Engage sincerely
-
Ask yourself if there's something nice you can say
-
Make this small space worth being in
A platform lives or dies by what's available on said platform and often we have this conversation in the context of "content" or posts - and we may never have as much content as reddit does. But content and posts aren't the only thing this kind of platform offers- it also offers people. It offers community, and human interaction.
Culture and community is lemmy and the fediverse's biggest differentiator, and we all have a role to play in shaping the culture of this space.
The biggest thing you can do to help the fediverse is make it a place worth being.
Hating successful people is the best way to insure your own failure. -

Except the non-US republicans, they're cool

i hope the quality stays up and i guess that we're non-commercial might help with this; as we're not pushing people to use this platform; the people here are people who actually want to use this platform and i guess that in itself could do a good thing.

Zero irony. Nothing funny here. Nazis fuck off. Republicans fuck off. Trumpers fuck off.
