I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.
Gettin’ hot in here. Remember Rule 1 people!
People who engage in debate in good faith are welcome. People who abuse and name call are not. Doesn’t matter what your political ideology is, BE NICE!
you are assuming that people are capable of good faith.
some simply are not.
That’d be a lack of sympathetic understanding. Kindly educate someone, peacefully correct them, relate to them and ask “how could they be so wrong?” Be genuine. Too often are people berated for a differing opinion over a matter of fact. It’s just a lack of awareness in nearly every case. People (usually) don’t want to be ignorant on purpose, they just are
It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it’s much more diverse.
Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it’s on the roadmap.
I’m using Liftoff and although I’ve got NSFW filter enabled I’m still seeing porn, lots of it.
You may have the option unselected, therefore blocking all NSFW posts. I do this on both Lemmy and kbin as I don’t want to browse for content and come across porn on my screen
On my main account…
I actually hasn’t see any porn when from the browser… Only when I decided to download an mobile app I got flooded by a lot of NSFW… I wonder why… Maybe the lemmy.world itself doesn’t have much porn, but what is “hot” and “active” in other instances it is? That explains why going directly in to https://lemmy.world/ they doesn’t show up.
Do you normally browse all? I just browse subscribed - and this isn’t a problem for me. “All” is a measure of what’s popular, and porn is popular.
You might have disabled NSFW. But I don’t want to fully disable it as there are some NSFW posts that may not be porn which may be worth seeing.
Lemmy.World has gained a lot more fascists. Seemingly not so much the case on the other instances. Maybe because beehaw defederated so they think that’s the place to be to troll lefties and liberals and organize? Uncertain but anecdotally it’s definitely happening.
Mods and admins need to get proactive. We’ve all seen what happens to places when the right invades - everyone else leaves, it descends into a cess pit, even the nazis leave, site dies.
Let’s not turn into voat.
The right has nothing to offer anyone who isn’t a giant bigot, these days. They have no positions beyond, “hurt the people who I say need hurting.”
There is no valuable discussion that can come out of talking to a right winger. At this point they are all Sartre’s antisemite.
In fact, including right wingers only strengthens left and liberal echo chambers because instead of discussing nuanced matters everyone jumps up to dunk on the Nazi.
Kill baby Hitler in his crib. Autoban right wingers before they destroy the fediverse.
“Left wing, right wing. We’re all under the same bird” so let’s fly together. People. Are. People. The only difference is experience over the course of life. Meet in the middle, agree to disagree, try to have an intellectual and thought provoking discussion with anybody. Deciding to blindly hate half of your country’s people is bot a good decision. It’s a blanket treatment. If you were treated a certain way by those you despise just for being who you are, I’m sure it isn’t fair. Dont be a hypocrite and do it back, assuming anything will be better. You’ll just drive the wedge that divides you from them deeper. The world is uncomfortable

TIL being queer is the same as voluntarily adopting an ideology of hatred.
can’t you, like, come to common cause with NAZIS
Jesus fucking Christ with you people.
Miss me with this milquetoast appeasement nonsense. Google Chamberlain.
Do you mean… anyone who isn’t a pro russia/China shill? Sorry but the LM/fascists/nazis are all the same. Bad people.
literally didn’t mention china or russia but yeah some tankies circlejerking their bad takes on the internet are not equivalent to the nazis who are out there murdering people on the reg.
the fact that you think they’re equatable, as well as the fact that you bring them up out of nowhere points to your true ideology, even if you aren’t aware of what it is.
Yeah I really hate the gender mythology ideological nonsense
case in point: this guy
I think you replied to my other comment. Nvm
So, you want to selectively pinpoint me now, just because I refuse to believe in your stupid tribal ideologies?
been here a month or so.
def seeing more abusive people show up, and nutcases who are spamming their ideological nonsense on every post who have think being first to post about their victim hood as misunderstood holders of THE TRUTH is some sort of relevant commentary and they are being oppressed by some other group of a different ideology.
this thread seems to be exhibit A.
also way more low quality shit posting and memes which i have to spend several minutes blocking each morning.
People like you show up and act like you have no ideology, that you’re just a fully blank slate. You are the guest, you are bringing your ideology here. We’ve been around for years. We are just used to being in a minority ideology and having discourse about it, you have never seen ideology in the way that a fish has never seen water.
You’re dead on about the low energy shitposting and memes tho
Perfect example of Reddit refugee. BLOCK BLOCK BAN BLOCK. WHY ARE PEOPLE I DISAGREE WITH IN EXISTANCE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Maybe you could just say I don’t agree with you instead of blocking things outright
How do you appear in every single thread bitching about liberals? You know your people have safe zones? Why not just go there.
Grab yourself a hot little Truth Social ™ account and you can rant about brown people and LGBTQ people all you want. Nobody will complain.
Come on, it’ll be fun. Y’all can compare truck flags.
While there is some bad, overall it had genuinely changed for the better. There’s a lot more diversity in the kind of people here and the kind of content posted. It used to be a lot more dominated by Tankie nonsense.
