Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

This is the big one

[–] cybermass@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, fuck Nazis!

[–] JasSmith@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, but actual Nazis. Not "you disagreed with me or voted for someone I don't like so I'm going to call you a Nazi."

The comment "This" is annoying to me. Just use the upvote button!

Upvote/downvote counts mangling. Just show the real numbers, don't mess with them with an unknown "algorithm".

Zero tolerance for fascists, and zero tolerance for state propagandists.

The fact that Lemmy is federated means you don't need to be tolerant of anyone and if they want to keep spewing bigotry and lies. If you make it impossible for them to exist in an instance they'll have to either give up or spool up their own instance that we can isolate.

Because running an instance requires some organization, maintenance, and money, anything that becomes too isolated from the rest of the fediverse will eventually die out.

Can't wait for the screenshot of a Reddit post of a Lemmy post of an Instagram post about Elon tweeting some shit.

Mods locking threads because β€œy'all can’t behave” jfc just ban accounts breaking the rules and let the rest discuss

[–] minimar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The reason they do this is so they don't have to spend their entire life moderating a single thread.

Reddit has a longstanding reputation for being a hive of scum and villainy (like hosting the_donald for years, or kotakuinaction, etc). I really hope that Lemmy keeps with the general left-leaning vibes of the fediverse overall, hopefully being a good space for queer people, women, people of colour, etc.

I think you do have to be careful here though. If you're too permissive you allow bigotry, but if you're too restrictive you cut off honest, good faith debate and create echo chamber silos where beliefs are never challenged.

Bigotry should never be accepted but that means non-discriminatory opinions, especially ones you disagree with, should be allowed.

The forced 'inside jokes' that filled so many threads, so many times you would see a post and be able to predict the top comment and its replies. Hoping that the lack of account karma helps with that.

[–] yyyesss@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, the ole Lemmy switcheroo.

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger.

The power that the admins have. While most subreddit bans were justified, in my opinion, it just felt really off for them to have so much power.

[–] mcc@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Here admin has even more power, except it is limited to their own instance. So it is more on the user to be prepared. You don't want to be too attached to your data on a single instance. The instance might be abandoned, down, gone; the admin might go crazy. And the solution isn't to have the admin be more reasonable. The solution is to hedge your bets on multiple instances and multiple communities.

I'd like less nazis. Including the dog whistling kind.

[–] TrippyTortuga@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should say "fewer Nazis." Ha! Didn't think you'd meet a grammar Nazi so soon did you?

[–] supermario182@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

You should actually say "No Nazis at all"
