your welcome

sturgen’s law applies to instances and instance admins. I suspect there will be growing pains as the initial group of servers are set up and we find out which have shit admins though experience

burggit is a fine instance, and you don’t really wanna talk to anyone who would defed with you anyways. don’t sweat it and let .world be a shithole in peace. their antics will catch up to them in the long term

It makes me sad since i loved to think that lemmy could be a smaller more compact community alternative to reddit but honestly its really not.

functionally, it is. we’re having this convo across two different servers already. it’s just that the early adopters are kinda assholes to people like us. it appears that the fediverse will end up divided into groups along ideological battle lines, and that unless you’re a single user instance self-admin you’ll want 2 or 3 accounts to get the full picture. on the other hand, it means we have less immediate visibility to haters and presumptivly therefore less harassment than someplace like twitter, where people who hate each other share one big box (tell me again why we ever thought that was a good idea?)

in other words, “fuck the haters I’ma go to an instance that respects me” is the correct response and we’ll continue on without their help

yeah, I imagine that reporting probably works better here than on corpo monosites. on those piles of crap they don’t hire enough mods and the reports are handled by the AI too, so if it slips through the upload spam filter downvoting is your only option.

linux users are of course the first to move to something like this, and the /r/fuckcars community is as well now a bit. also let’s be honest, fuck cars. and fuck windows.
