The level of aggressive comments…
It’s devolving quickly into Reddit. Everything is either black or white, dog shit or a miracle… No nuance
Increasingly people attack people instead of ideas when commenting
Please report aggressive / toxic comments as a rule 2 violation here. We can and should do better than reddit when it comes to being respectful and kind to each other.
There’s concerted efforts by actual nazis to shit this place up because they see it as a genuine threat.
Influx of libs. It’s a sign of success for the platform, but holy fuck lemmy.world posters are annoying
What sort of things out them as “libs”?
Hmm. Let me check my inbox. One lib is complaining about leftists. Another is talking about “harm reduction” in the context of genocide
Hmm… Today I learned that lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy instance.
It’s usually the first listed in any guide on how to start using Lemmy, so it tends to get a lot of new-to-the-fediverse users. It’s presumably where I would have ended up, if there wasn’t a country-specific instance for me
Redditors have been showing up, and lemmy mods are behaving more and more like the very thing redditors wanted to leave reddit for.
People with unchecked power being unreasonable! I’m shocked! Shocked!
More bot content, spam and paid agenda posting from what I can see in /r/all or how ever the aggregation of all instances is called
Do you have an example of paid agenda posting? I haven’t noticed anything that would suggest that. I’ve noticed agenda posting but it’s most likely purely passion.
Lots of support for a genocide, thought this place was better than Reddit.
More like lots of having to refute dumb arguments that imply choosing harm reduction is the same thing as endorsing harm.
“harm reduction” in the context of genocide is absolutely wild. It’s a genocide, not a heroin habit
I want no genocide. My choices are: vote for a candidate that would make the genocide worse, while complaining they’re supporting a genocide, or vote for a candidate that would more or less do nothing about it, while complaining they’re ineffectual at stopping the genocide.
How can you not see one of those two options is better?
Biden isnt “doing nothing”, he’s actively making it worse. He is directly complicit. How do you not see this?
Okay, does that actually change the choice you make? You only have two practical options when it comes to voting.
That genocide supporter oughta Genocide Biden and the other do nothing one oughta Peaceful Trump I see.
Found the genocide supporter
Content diversity seems like it slowed down. Back when the Reddit exodus happened about of niche communities were created. A lot of them have been abandoned now.
Lemony is still good as it’s tech and privacy centric (which I love). But the excess of US related news, furry stuff, commie/cappie arguments are everywhere. You can always block communities and instances but it gets tiring after some time.
I think this sort of unfulfilled promise has been the biggest obstacle of my full scale adoption of a reddit alternatives.
As a non-typical Lemmy user (No interest in privacy, piracy, Linux, FOSS, Web Dev, SW Dev, Veganism, or discussing political theory with strangers online) finding active communities in topics i am interested in (basketball, football, hio hop, martial arts, boxing, mma, PC building, relationships, kink, and the specific humor and nuance that comes with being a Black person on the internet) has been a struggle.
Many of those communities have two people or less posting in them or don’t exist at all.
People are talking here but not about things i wanna discuss and that’s disappointing so i have a hard time “sticking” if that makes sense
I became the typical Lemmy user with interests in the topics you dislike because of the nature of the reddit migration, but I have to agree with the lack of skinfolk humor. It’s kind of a bummer.
Yeah i hear you. Reddit was white on average but Lemmy/Kbin feels like baby powder on top of fresh snow
So white someone will make a trending post on a Linux memes community about “coonfigers” and no one has a problem with it.
Honestly looks like it sailed right over everyone’s head too. I guess that’s a good thing?
Bruh I saw that shit, but I didn’t feel like walking into the comment section to fight that day.
Actually, I’m kind of curious:
What do you mean “because of the nature of the reddit migration?”
I mean that I became more interested in FOSS, privacy, and cybersecurity because I was (and remain) angry at reddit and all walled garden ass social media platforms.
That’s what i thought you meant. Thanks!
in my case, the diaspora didn’t change me so much as it displaced me.
Now I’m here and there. Much like Twitter and Masto where i do more content viewing on the legacy site where there’s more content, but more posting on the FOSS alternative because of ideological imperative to see it grow even if its content doesn’t serve me (yet?)
I kinda do the same thing. I’ll go through spurts of posting in music communities here (as well as commenting, for better or worse) and I use Beeper to check my discord and twitter group chats, but I mostly bounce between Lemmy and Bluesky, if only to avoid “the algorithm” and the non stop scrolling that comes with it.
I’m getting banned less since moving to Beehaw?
So for me it’s personal growth.
I would assume it’s because you’re now blind to the communities that enjoy banning people. Beehaw was pretty clear that they want to keep things nice.
Exactly, and most of the the negativity is gone, a lot less anger-bait to browse through, and waaaay fewer extremists & shills.
Basically what my mental health needed.
