I remember my first experience with voat being a poll discussing whether they should ban child porn. The split was ~90% in favor of banning, 10% against. 10% is concerningly high.
Reminds me of the always sunny interview where an audience member shouted “shut up, bird.” Kinda missed the point there.
Some context links go to entirely different comment chains as well.
What do you use in lieu of ungodly heaps of butter and cream cheese?
Political stability is reasonable, economy’s unstable, seems uneasy. I get curious every few years and read up.
No, it’s exclusively admins using admin tools. Check the pixels for the usernames that placed them.
conservatives have been scapegoating assorted minorities and disempowered people since the Industrial Revolution. The hate’s baked in! Might as well put it on the label.
And I mind the downvotes, because they’re indicative of bigots. Fun to see who they are from kbin, though.
It’s my right to disown any queer children I may or may not have, and it’s the school’s duty to help. I presume that’s the opinion of the people downvoting you.
I’m not sure whether the issues plaguing Reddit really apply to lemmy, even with a single instance being disproportionately larger than the others, which makes “Reddit 2.0” a bit less derogatory to me. Reddit’s moderator tools were severely lacking for the required output (federation helps diffuse communities, and lemmy doesn’t encourage bots to swarm in order to increase apparent user numbers for investor satisfaction), every big anti-hate decision required a media spectacle to precede it (admins here aren’t free speech absolutists with authoritarian hard-ons), and staff retention at Reddit is an odd loop of promotion into managerial obsolescence which severely increases overhead (irrelevant to lemmy). Reddit 2.0 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to me.
TIL worldstar is still running. Huh.
