Anti-unnecessary terms. Changing “child porn” (or CP) to “CSAM” is a ridiculous, confusing, and unnecessary thing. And it takes effort away from meaningful action.

They’re edgy teenagers. They’re hearing adults talk about these horrible trans pedophiles, and they want to rebel against their parents.

I can guarantee the vast majority of those posters are kids themselves just doing stupid cringey edgy kid things.

“What’s the worst thing I can think of? Let me join a community in support of it, that will show my parents”

Just look at that shit. It’s cringetopia.

Sure, but CSAM is a real term and the same thing applies.

The problem is that smaller communities have less content. Yes, they federate with larger communities, but they only pull data every so often. My first fediverse account was on kbin but the fact that it’s so difficult to have active conversations there (plus the hard coded invisible porn filter) made migrate to lemmy.

People who crave activity will naturally centralize.

I prefer looser mod powers

Reddit mods were capricious and drunk with petty power

CCP delenda est

But they’re not doing it. You’re just freaking out because they could, hypothetically do it. And then you’re getting angry because your hypothetical admins - who are in your head - are doing it, which you MADE them do - because, again, this is all a scenario in your head.

oh yeah? Well you’re a terrorist, so there, take that!

Depends on what subs/instances you frequent. Since the reddit migration brought a lot of liberals and centrists to lemmy, many of the tankie types have been drowned out by sheer numbers and have retreated to hexbear and lemmygrad etc.

However, there’s also a decent number of fasicsts and neocons who came from reddit and are all over exploding heads, shitjustworks etc

I don’t really see those users much because I don’t frequent their spaces. I tend to be in more leftist spaces so I see more tankies.

And of course there was that one disastrous week or so where we gave federation with hexbear a chance and they just flung tankie shit everywhere.

As soon as the tankie stuff started coming out, I figured this was the inevitable result

lol no

“Marxist-Leninist” is enough of a self-own for us, we don’t need to invent new terms to insult communists. Real communists are just sad, naive idealists, and we pity them more than anything.

Tankies are a whole separate bag of fucked up. They support Russia, which is clearly not communist. They’re really just anti-USA edgelords.

I laughed

Tankies are more of a problem on Lemmy than fascists.

I was wondering why the quality of posts dramatically increased recently

Smaller instances take longer to load content from bigger instances.

I have a kbin account and a lemmy account, but I find myself more active on lemmy because it’s faster to load new content.
