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

Dunno, ask the mod who removed it. I gave a very, very basic definition and you're acting like it can't be expanded upon or further elaborated. How very rigid of you. So, I have actual work to go do, in my community, helping others and practicing the ideals that I preach. Good luck not doing any of that here
By the way, if the word tankie offends you so much, it might be because you have more in common than you'd like.
I don't know who the mod is or where it happened, what was the reason given in the modlog?
I gave a very, very basic definition
Yeah, and I don't meet it. You do understand how definitions work, right?
So, I have actual work to go do, in my community, helping others and practicing the ideals that I preach.
Ok, good luck practicing manic left bashing in the community I suppose. I'm going to go do some volunteer work in mine.

Ok, fascist paedophile.

Calling you out for being terminally online is less an insult and more of a fact. Have the day you deserve!
Least bad faith anti-communist

There's regional and cultural differences, famously brusque NYC and easy going west coast in particular.
Lmao not really. Coastal people get along fine
-
So I can't be myself?
Pete, we know you're a big softie inside.
-
Tell that to the people who make a dozen sockpuppet accounts to insult me just because I disagreed with them.
Second best thing you can go is to report unkind people.
-
So I can't be myself?
No. But you can work on yourself to become a nicer, better person and we will support you all the way. Then, you will be allow to be yourself.
With love,

So don't? I don't.
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. -
Second best thing you can go is to report unkind people.
Yeah, try reporting behavior mods themselves are aware and approve of LMAO
-
On the one hand, yes, yes, yes, absolutely.
On the other hand, way too often people are absolutely vile here and nobody sticks up for themselves or for others. Really a shame that r-word-it bullshit behavior is often times totally accepted and approved and even rewarded here.
Highly regarded behavior has been an internet staple for decades

When I see small, I see potential. More people know each other which fosters genuine relationships and understanding, ingredients missing from the toxic environments of the big social networks.
My ex used to call me a very small dude with a big city attitude. She didn't mean it as a compliment, but I took it as one.
The fediverse is just a beautiful place to be you. It feels calm, relaxed, intellectual and full of supportive people. It's a refreshiong alternative to the sprawling and sometimes impersonal nature of vast social networks.
One thing we should all agree on, we all have a role to play in shaping the culture of this space.
What the hell does that even mean
-
I didn’t report you bud. Is it possible that maybe you’re just insufferable enough to annoy several people at once?
Following the premise of the thread: Not even once
-
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.
Speaking past each other is IMO the biggest source of friction and division on the fediverse.

I have mysteriously vanished for like 2 or so months now (which is a good thing, please take breaks from the internet every once in a while), I don't really remember NOT being kind here.
And this post reminds me of why Lemmy is a good place to begin with.

RTFM is always a good strategy, the manual/wiki/source code will almost always have more info than a comment can reasonably contain.
Yeah, I can clearly see the 40 year old finance analyst doing a deep-dive on the intricacies of the Linux Kernel because he can't connect his WiFi.
This is exactly what I mean. You people are so disconnected from reality you're doing more harm than good to your own cause.

That is why the person made so many sockpuppet accounts. As soon as one was banned, they made another.

I honestly feel like I can do better in this area. Thanks for the post. Gives me something to think about.

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.
