Definitely a sign the Fediverse has longevity problems
I am careful what I comment so they either very manually singled me out or I got caught on an automated banner for downvotes (I ended up downvoting a lot since there were such frequent bad takes and posts) are my guesses
Lemmyworld, with its ban of pirating communities, petty bans of random users, frequent downtime, CSAM attacks and new registration restrictions… I wonder which lemmy will overtake it with users since it has proven to be unreliable
They enforce narrative hard. I was following along one thread about California not allowing parents to be told about their kids changing gender. Every negative comment would disappear and the user banned.
I’m thinking it’s partly a problem with the incentive system the fediverse creates. The type of person that wants that kinda admin power. It’s just usually not a healthy type of person.
I think reducing their power with technology like nostr is important but ultimately we need healthier incentives to participate.
Handing out Bitcoin is a decent idea. If people would just shut the fuck up about Bitcoin the rest of the time
