Well you kids have been a barrel of fun, but it’s time for sundown. Try not to let the extreme fringes burn this place to the ground! Holler at y’all never! 🤠

Interesting take.

Yes, they are behind you doing bunny ears behind your head.

What in tarnation!? 🤠

Ah, so you want a free speech instance. So if that is what lemmy.world is supposed to be, why do they ban folks that disagree with them? Why do they delete comments? What you are describing and what lemmy.world is are not matching up, my friend.

I mean, why not have one last hurrah in the comments?

No worries! I think I need to focus on actual social interaction, rather than the facade social media portrays. I like talking to people and listening to their stories, ideas, and ideals. I have a habit of stress-testing those ideals, but generally out of a desire to strengthen them by acknowledging the pitfalls they contain. I’m a social chameleon that is as fascinated my human nature as I am annoyed by it. Thing is, online interaction strips so much nuance from conversation that it takes so much extra effort to say something. It’s like talking to a brick wall sometimes.

Thanks for your unrequested opinion! 🤠

What if I go nowhere? What if I just abandon this social media dopamine dispenser altogether? Then I won’t have to listen to asshats from half way around the world try to explain why genocide is okay sometimes.

This specific thread in the comments, you apricot. See, this lack of common sense and reading comprehension is infuriating too.

Cool, my account is gone, but whatever. I think my life will be better without this place in general. So I’ll pass.

Shhh, this conversation is about lemmy.world

I ain’t asking anyone to agree with me. They are the ones who banned someone for disagreeing with them.

Guess which instance banned me, leading to my point. They are still tankie-sympathetic, as noted by the fact the JUST NOW defederated from lemmygrad. They hide it well, but they still have that lean.

For real. Like, I get the concept of commune living, but the larger the commune, the more of a threat human nature becomes.

She’s a goddamned moron. Feel free to check my correspondence with her on her post. That being said, you guys do need to have a conversation about fauxbait. It is legal, obviously so to anyone with half a brain cell, but the name does kinda cast a poor shadow on the instance. As we know, morons are loud and obnoxious and draw all kinds of unwanted attention, but they usually get what they want. Ya gotta ask yourselves if the community is worth the trouble it is going to continue to bring.

The downvotes do nothing. Hell, some instances don’t even allow downvotes. And sure, it gets buried, but it’s still there. There for eyes to see. Curious eyes that want to see what was so terrible. The same curious eyes that the hate groups depend on for recruitment. No. Delete it. Ban the user. Make it known that that content is NOT acceptable. I’m telling you guys, as someone who grew up surrounded by that shit, you give them an inch, they’ll trash the place.

Thing is, define “questionable content.” Then look at it the way a bad actor would. How can it be abused. To some, any LGBT+ content is “questionable.” To others, advancement of minorities. Who gets to draw the line? Who gets to decide what’s “questionable.”

France has been burning itself to the ground longer than the US has even been a thing.

Nagging about every single instance with a few bad actors…

Yup. Tells the admins to do their jobs and get rid of bad actors.

Too many of y’all are perfectly fine with hate seeping in through the seams. It needs to be stamped out like a smoldering ember before it grows to an uncontrollable wildfire. They aren’t here to engage in constructive conversations. They want to do two things: spread their bullshit, and recruit edgy teenagers. Neither of these things can happen when admins do their duty and smite the hate. And if a federation isn’t doing their duty, cut em off. They can come back when they straighten their shit out.
