Don’t know, don’t care to read through all that to tell you what is or isn’t agreeable. Maybe you can summerize what you are trying to convey

Well as a new lemmy user it wasn’t too hard to figure out what has been defederated for unliked reasons. Im not stating out of just mere personal interest as some might assume, im only highlighting that free expression (artistic values) should not be blantantly treated with oppression just because majority overules a dislike for it. For myself, there are plenty of things i don’t like, but i wouldn’t go out of my way just to deplatform something i didn’t like, only the deranged would do something like that.

Like most people say if you want more pleasant experience, it’d be better to avoid politics.

Dank memes is also tangled with politics and crudeness anymore and outlived their days.

Also you don’t need to feel obligated to respond to rude or unpleasant people, just block em’ and go about your own interest.

Lastly treat others how you would like to be treated. If you just go around trying to counterpoint argue and call everyone terrible then you might suffer some backlash.

🤔 toilet thoughts

Sorry to to hear about your erectile dysfuction, would’ve said that must’ve been hard, but…

Oh i hadn’t thought about that, you’re right. Which reminds me… snow as cold as it is, ironically makes for good insulation making the temperature slightly warmer on cold days as opposed to the same cold days if the ground had no snow.

I would hypothesize that people would start with strong psychic abilities in early stages of their life, but the longer we live the more these abilities dull or become loss all together. Not because of old age, but because the accumulated disruptions to our minds with passage of time (radio waves, internet, brainwash media, indoctrinations, etc). We are constantly bombarded with psychic disruptions passing through as well as being reprogrammed to lose our abilities through brainwashing and indoctrination. We are made to conform to arbitrary societal constructs that work against us without realizing it.

If you have to ask, then you clearly don’t understand how politics works. It’s real simple. Laws are made for the citizens, not for politicians. Politicians get diplomatic immunity becasue they are the ones left in charge. So this means they are either immune to law or it just doesn’t apply to them. That’s government for ya.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

Nah they’ll take that too through years of k9 indoctrination and brainwash television

Almost as stupid as facebook creating a platform called threads. Zero creativity, and maxium collaboration inconvience with our language usage, plus facebook trying to stick their nose in fediverse where the whole point was to get away from their centralized metaverse BS. Facebook can fuck off.

I agree. Most the witch hunts are senseless and for all the mods and admins that grouped together to be a part of the witch hunt and even defederate platforms as if just one big systematic centralized group of eradicators kind of defeats the whole point of decentralized networking in the first place.

It seemed a poor choice to migrate redditors here, give in to the demands of the deranged folk, and drive away all the misfits deemed undesirable. That can only end with a bunch of dead communities. And now it seems large portions of users are lumping in just a few instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml rather than spreading out, which seems to poses a threat to the intended decentralization of lemmy. What’s more is many instances seems to federate with threads.net which is essentially facebook. Lemmy might end up even worse than reddit. What on earth were they thinking?

Edit: grammar fix

Been wondering… what is a tankie?

Might i ask which mods you feel are power tripping? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want, no pressure.

“which is a dog whistle that they’re tired of being yelled at for their shitty views” 🤨 you’re trolling right? Like @Jackthelad@lemmy.world says “they just wanna get away from politics” … not everyone cares to have a political opinion and likely just wanna avoid the hostility or nuances that comes with politics discussion. I myself would rather see to much more pleasant things that isn’t just abunch chaos and steam. Wouldn’t you rather enjoy your time than to be a salty bitter lad?

Im pretty sure most people including mods don’t want to see a bunch of soul-less bot postings. That is straight up community manipulation. Please don’t use bots, use your human mind to interact.

“I like the way Lemmy functions, with things like an open moderator log and the way that instances can be created to prevent too much control from one singular instance from pushing people completely off the platform if they have bad moderation, for example.”

Oh yeah that seems an excellent way to keep a power balance between users and moderation. Hadn’t used reddit all that much, but heard of the nightmarish moderation abuse.

“I don’t like the users. For every one user that is nice and wants to have a legitimate conversation, there are like 300 that just want to fight/argue or spew politics into a non-political conversation.”

Sadly is a big issue with many platforms where politics is used for excuse to mental flex, invalidate, clout motives, and flat out bully. So i try to avoid politics or deflect and avoid people who just looking to argue for the sake of argueing to assert dominance. Too many headaches online deal with.

“The number of users I have blocked on Lemmy is far longer than the amount of users I ever blocked on Reddit, and my Reddit account existed for about 10 years.”

I might do the same tbh, i can see there are quite a bit of users needing filtered out on lemmy. Can also see some get angry knowing that people would rather just block em’ and not engage with them because then they can’t fuel their clout driven ego 🙂

“The problem with this is that particularly nasty users can keep creating accounts on instances they keep creating in order to harass people they don’t like. So even if you block them, they just switch to a new account, etc.”

Perhaps this could be resolved by implementing a user follow list and making it so users can only be interacted with if the user approves the follower who is trying to follow em’

“They can also do this for vote manipulation, not like that really matters on Lemmy but Lemmy users seem to have fallen victim to the same problem Redditors had: seeing a comment with 0 or -1 score and then completely disregarding whatever it said, not reading it and downvoting it automatically.”

Imo i think lemmy could just do away with a voting system, it would reduce cognitive bias by not giving them a sense of popularity contest to determine if it’s worth reading a user’s post or comment. People should judge for themselves rather than having others do it for them.

You seem a a reasonably decent person btw.
