Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?
catty@lemmy.world 1 day agoDon’t worry. As a little experiment, I’ve found time and time again across a whole range of social media sites over years, that having a username that some people could perceive as aggressive will get you blocked / banned faster than you would believe. The people of Lemmy are not as different/open as they think they are!
Unfortunately, when I open groups, I get called out that it should be merged with a sort-of-similar group, and then of course, empty groups are hard to start.
Having to take the effort to block all the politics in the first place mean 90% of people won’t do it and will get tied up with giving their asshole to each post rather than perhaps what they wanted to come here for in the first place. I believe that doesn’t create an overall diverse community.

You get banned for having the username “catty”? Seriously?
I mean is that a bad thing that groups get merged? Lemmy ain’t reddit, and if you wanna follow niche (or even not-so-niche) hobbies here, it’s usually better to have one group with 10 people in it rather than 5 groups with 2 people in it. If you wanna hang around in your 2-person group, no one’s gonna ban you for doing so.
If you joined an instance where 90% of the default communities offend you, maybe you should consider joining another instance?
You’d use sentiment analysis how, exactly?
