Comment on Collectively, Lemmy has a substantive comment issue
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoI think lemmy only has two types of posts, these with less than 10 comments and ones hexbear folks posted in.

Our admin has been acting incredibly sketchy regarding them, not a fan.

Given that this entire post and thread of comments is a discussion about the lack of quality comments in the fediverse, and the hexbear server has made more total comments than all of the other servers combined, surely you can follow my reasoning in allowing them to federate with us.
I obviously misjudged the extent of their misanthropy, but I don’t see what other course we could have taken. You yourself made a comment about not being in favor of defederation at the time, only to change your mind a day later.
How would you have handled that situation?

Well, I wouldn’t have called the discussion your users were having around defederation a “struggle session,” to start. Feels like you were trying to push your politics and it backfired. I didn’t feel any pushback from y’all when users overwhelmingly wanted to defederate from exploding-heads.

Honestly I’d rather have the 10 comment threads than the ones with the Hexbear crowd in them. Those threads are always a train wreck of shit takes, sealioning, and bad faith arguments.

I’ve never heard the term sealioning. Is it really a thing?
I don’t think it is, but if you have any evidence to prove it, I’m listening.
