I’m going to keep this in the back of my mind going forward. With a grain of salt though since I haven’t seen this with my own eyes.
But also from the first step I realized it was just privately owned and moderated platform and with that in mind I’m just putting in what I’m willing to loose. It’s not mine, even in the sense that a subreddit community could’ve been presented to be “mine”.
On a sidenote, I’m not feeling too good about kbin/Lemmy ATM. Since there are so many instances I’m seeing many reposts, maybe even back-to-back and I can’t but my finger on the moderation standards that are set here (not that I’ve seen anything vile but just… Idunno it’s hard to follow since there are so many admins and I don’t know where to look).
Same here with the lemmy thing. But after being a some time on the internet, repost are something i kinda just have to accept as part of online comunities, since whe humans like to repeat shit we like and share it with other humans. Its chaotic, unsanitised, and if you look at it on the bigger picture, extremelly boring and repetitive. And it is true that mass reposting is a tactic used by bad actors to push their agenda in online comunities, and imo it just means that such bad actors have already arived to lemmy, which was just a matter of time if not that they already whhere here. Imo the spam of bs like identity politics and virtue signaling of it its proof of it if anything, and the popular tab of all the instances is starting to look an awful lot like r/all in its worst days with a lot off spam from american politics “communities” (more like circlejerks). And there are more reasons to distrust the fediverse like the cold shoulder hostility between some instances, beehaw, most of the userbase are exredditors and outcasts (but not the good kind), its creators are some edgy tankie larpin kids that couldnt get past their SOVIET MOTHERLAND COMRADE GREAT LEAP FOWARD face and activelly keep pushing it and banning whoever that doesnt play into their larping. But there are lots of reasons to love it, mailny that there is genuine free speech in here and its hard to shit all over it, since if you get banned you cam make another account on another instance and you get really good arguments with people that like to argue instead of just fight, not all of the ofcourse but most. I myself havent been banned from any comunity and if you check out my comment history youll know that im not the most agreable felha in here and like to play devils advocate a lot. Just dont 100% trust what you see on the internet and be aware that there is a bias and jannies are not your friends nor are they here to better the comunity, they are in it for the power fantasy.
