I skimmed through it, it’s actually a decent article.
- Comment on are people still all riled up about beehaw? 9 months ago:
No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.
Very true, and that’s why I’m more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.
- Comment on I love Mastodon and ActivityPub. But I think Nostr is going to win. Here's why. 9 months ago:
Thank you for your insight. I feel like AP cares more about the community, while nostr is about the individual.
Different kind of people will choose different approaches
- Comment on are people still all riled up about beehaw? 9 months ago:
I agree. I could see Beehaw survive longer than most other Lemmy instances, their community feeling is much stronger.
- Comment on are people still all riled up about beehaw? 9 months ago:
Lemmy’s code isn’t that easy to get it, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.
The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.
- Comment on Reddit exodus - Using Lemmy from my existing Mastodon 9 months ago:
Nice tutorial

Hello guys, just wanted to chime in and say that it’s good to see you three explain things in a calm manner in this thread. Nice to see you around.
- Comment on 🏳️⚧️Trans: a place for trans community and support🏳️⚧️ 9 months ago:
Good luck with this!
Interestingly enough, I always thought that Blahaj had a !trans community as they are a queer instance at their core, but it seems it wasn’t the case.
- Comment on PSA: You can block instances in your settings (last tab) if your instance is running version 0.19.X 9 months ago:
Your instance is still in 18.5

True, forgot about that (luckily I woke up after it happened)
- Comment on Trying to find and understand the best microblogging platforms for my needs 9 months ago:
will need more deep searches.
To be fair, it doesn’t take that much to create an account on one instance and then see if it works for you. I must have more than ten alts on several platforms
- Comment on PSA: You can block instances in your settings (last tab) if your instance is running version 0.19.X 9 months ago:
Sad to hear. I don’t read news community, that’s why I didn’t see it

Any example of badly moderated communities? Asking because I didn’t notice anything special.
- Comment on Trying to find and understand the best microblogging platforms for my needs 9 months ago:
Mbin has both Reddit and Twitter aspects bundled in.
- Comment on Trying to find and understand the best microblogging platforms for my needs 9 months ago:
I would suggest to find an instance in your mother language, it’s the easiest way to find content in that language. When I want to see Spanish content, I go to masto.es. Some other languages use other platforms (usually Misskey forks)
- Comment on PSA: You can block instances in your settings (last tab) if your instance is running version 0.19.X 9 months ago:
I think that blocklist will stay very user-dependent, except for obvious spam instances which should be blocked at the instance level. But we’ll see how it goes.

- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
Thank you very much for sharing, I’ll keep an eye on it.
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
To be fair, Piefed uses Lemmy communities and comments, it’s almost just another interface.
The reputation is indeed interesting, example in this thread with warnings “low reputation, beware!”: piefed.social/post/27070#post_replies

I’m well aware, just reported what the video creator said

I skimmed through it, seems like a basic explanation of what the Fediverse is, mostly oriented on Mastodon.
The videast himself doesn’t think he’ll post his videos to the Fediverse as it lacks monetization.
- Comment on What Meta’s Fediverse Plans Mean for Threads Users 9 months ago:
we deserve to die.
To be fair, maybe we are not even that alive to begin with.
- Comment on What Meta’s Fediverse Plans Mean for Threads Users 9 months ago:
You can have a look at this article

Long story short, Google killed XMPP back in the days by federating with it, then added some non standard features, got most of the user base to migrate to Google chat, then defederated.
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
Thanks, you too!
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
I’m pretty sure those two are fine without downvotes, if that can help
- Comment on What Meta’s Fediverse Plans Mean for Threads Users 9 months ago:
For example, Threads supports audio posts, a feature not currently supported within ActivityPub, so Meta is experimenting with “federating” a text transcription of the original post instead of the audio version.
Here we go
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
That, and the fact that simply there isn’t enough good discussion to begin with. This community kind of has movement because it’s a meta-topic, but for everything else it’s mostly "let’s pretend we are superior than redditors because we found our way here and “let’s pretend we are not in Reddit for all the other niche communities that we are still interested.”
That’s a real issue. Hopefully it will get better over time, but sometimes at the moment it feels like shouting into the void.
