I’ve been trying. Unfortunately, people in power seem totally unresponsive to the needs of the people. Don’t know what the optimal solution for that is, but historically, the solution is usually something you’re not allowed to encourage on social media.

Sounds like they’re the ones in need of new butts.

What is there to think about? I complain about people who support Soviet-style dictatorships having full control over online platforms moderating exactly as one would expect, and I get told by Random Guy On The Internet #368,452 that I’m apparently a hypocrite because wanting action to be taken to stop authoritarians from controlling social networks makes me the real authoritarian or something. All this to “suit my agenda”, which in this case is wanting to be able to say that authoritarians are bad.

God forbid I find arguments like that incoherent and unworthy of taking seriously.

He was added as a mod pretty much for shits and giggles, he didn’t do any actual moderation. Still, he allowed the sub and many others like it, so very much the second option.

I’m so bored of that line. At least come up with something different.

Good. Lemmy communities need to be as instance-agnostic as possible.

Good. Is development of Lemmy still controlled by tankies?

Yep. Something needs to change if we want Lemmy to be something besides a place for Soviet simps to hide from criticism. Authoritarianism cannot be tolerated.

I’ve been spending my time both here and on Reddit recently, and I’ve honestly been enjoying it more here. Though I mostly lurk.

The alternative, right now, is still potentially never having another election.

Nice.

Out of curiosity, what subs did you hang out on that had the power users migrate over to Lemmy?

I hope he realizes that having moderation isn’t a choice social media websites get to make anymore. That’s Apple and Google’s choice now. Why? Because in order to have literally any userbase at all nowadays, you have to have an app. Websites barely get used in comparison to phone apps. And if you don’t bother moderating your website and let people send things like racial slurs and child porn unabated, you get kicked off the app stores by Apple and Google. Not to mention that payment companies don’t like those things either.

FUCK YOU
