~~war~~ social media never changes

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

Why, did you see this on Facebook? I haven't been there in over two years, so idk

I dont really care what people post, as long as its on a free and decentralized network. And as long as bad posts are in their respective community (as is the case here) its fine with me.

Lemmy is not about "good posts" its about removing central authority.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I've been thinking about this lately.

You're right in that there's no central "authority", but lemmy has become very centralised with all the content on a few big instances in fiefdoms controlled by a few mods who seem to be weirdos with too much time on their hands.

I guess the benefit is, if an instance or a mod does something really egregious there's the potential to just move to another instance.

I think we need another few iterations of exodus from other platforms because of whatever shitstorm for lemmy to develop its own vibrance.

It already happened for the star trek instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well, then create new communities if that's what you want to see here. What's stopping you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Because modding online communities is a huge waste of time for anyone who isn't desperate for validation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, so you just want to complain about everything and not do anything yourself. Gotcha.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hah.

Firstly, I wasn't complaining.

Secondly, I suspect I've touched a nerve. Are you the fieflord of some Alexandrian repository of enlightened content and discord? Do you find it fulfilling?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Yes to whatever you're talking about, I guess

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

This is precisely why I am in favor of defederating from the shit instances, .ml in particular. Because it transfers demand for popular communities away from those instances and ostensibly helps grow alternatives.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

If Facebook posts make people laugh, and this one did, what's the problem?

Also, this is clearly not a real Facebook post, it's an obvious joke.

[–] peopleproblems 7 points 1 day ago

It has been for a while, as soon as the censored word posts from grandma started showing up. It's pretty damn uncomfortable
