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

RTFM is always a good strategy, the manual/wiki/source code will almost always have more info than a comment can reasonably contain.
I utterly disagree. For most people, the manual, wiki, or source code is undecipherable gibberish. For many others, it's an investment of time they may or may not have. Even I, a seasoned tech vet, sometimes just want to have something work without having to sit down for hours to make it work. If I have a problem, I reach out to the community to see if someone else has had the problem I have had so I can benefit from their hours of labour to find the thing that fixes the problem. Your RTFM is just noise to their signal, which I could definitely do without. Respectfully, in the theme of the post we're replying to.

It's saying sometimes people need to hear something that will hurt them in order to get better. Which is true but a lot of people take that as a green light to be an asshole when they find someone who is "wrong".
Also a lot of people do not consider they could be on the wrong or that other person can have a total different valid definition of what's right. And just take this "I'm obviously on the right so I can be an as*****" approach.

This place is becoming very Reddit, if you post anything that deviates from someone’s beliefs they call you names and insult your intelligence. So many people can’t have a debate or discussion without jumping to personal attacks and hate. It’s really disheartening. I love political debate but there’s no such thing anymore, only name calling
With the aggravated issue of moderators being far less ""professional"" here than in Reddit. At least in some big reddit communities there was a big admin team that tried to keep things more or less professional (not that they would always achieved that but they tried). Here mod teams are very small and mods mostly just got their position by just being here first, so I have found out a lot of very biased moderation and mods just using mod tools and position of authority to defend their own particular opinions.
If you are debating something with a moderator alt account, or with a moderator friend you are in for some unfairness going your way. At least that have been my experience trying to debate even very small deviations from a Community main political stance.
-
Report it - people jumping straight to insults are trying to shut discussion down which really isn't acceptable.
Then the moderator would ban you because the mod agrees with the other person. I have seen it happen.
And not fron small communities, some of the bigger here on Lemmy.
Moderation is a bit lacking. Which is understandable as few people want to invest time in moderating.

Fuck you!

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.

Yeah try telling people here to be kind
This place is still nicer then reddit but it's still got problems with a**hole users
-
The ones that spam a certain viewpoint amd downvote people who disagree with them and I'm not talking about bigoted users who you should downvote as they want dystopia but users who have different viewpoints to them
-
People who act like assholes if you don't share their holier-than-thou viewpoint that they try to enforce everywhere
-
The users here who insist everyone here be atheists, I'm not atheist nor am I religous (I also have a dislike for organised religons) but I still do dislike those kinds of users
-
The people here who act like like a**holes when you critique something or give feedback
I'm sure there's more I'm missing but those are what I remember from the top of my head that I dislike about certain lemmy users and why I think not everyone here is capable of being kind
-
-
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
Let me guess, you voted for that orange cheeto
-
We also need people sharing their niche interests and creating discussion... Reddit thrives on these small communities that only find an accessible entrypoint on their platform.
The only problem is lemmy seems to be hostile to certain niches specifically ones closer to spiritual realted stuff
And just to make this clear to idiots who want to be idiots SPIRITUALITY IS NOT RELIGON

Hating successful people is the best way to insure your own failure.Funny how allergic people are to basic truths.

I’m sorry the world is so scary you have to segment parts of it away from your daily life, I don’t have that weakness
Yeah some parts of the world are scary and segmenting parts of it away isn't a weakness.
It's just common sense.What has that have to do with not wanting to watch a russian info asset?
OH you thought it was because I didn't want to see people getting shot?
Son, I was one of the early distributors of 1 man 1 jar

Not that they don't get along, just that there is a difference in normal regionally.

thx @jesuisatirebitpickup, this now came over, no idea why the inicial post by search didn't show up, some Lemmy/friendica issue, or maybe the it's because squeet.me is on the dev branch.
