If they can get rid of all the extremist propaganda I’ll probably go with them. So tired of places like Hexbear and Lemmygrad, they’re 100% killing the fediverse.
Still see hexbear crap on kbin and the blocking feature does not work for that instance and all of it’s users specifically:(
Wait, what? I’m on kbin.social and I almost never see hexbear stuff. Why would blocking that instance not work? I blocked the grad like my second day here.
I’ve seen exactly the same thing, it’s crazy frustrating, and no one is answering mail from KBIN “support”
I got this reply from Ernest recently concerning spam and other things, including a coming major update. Want to talk about bugs…I couldn’t see any of the replies to my post unless I opened it logged out/incognito. Let’s appreciate that this barely alpha coding has been a lot more stable than the first days and wait to see what the update fixes and breaks.
Choice of instance seems to matter quite a lot. I’ve never seen threads from either of those in my feed nor any porn.
People have accused .world of trying to be the ‘new’ Reddit but to me it was clear from day one that it was beehaw that wanted to do this. By ‘new’ Reddit, I mean a walled garden environment. Once they do this it won’t be long before they introduce ads etc to the software they choose. Y’know, to ‘supprt the site’ etc.
I totally understand the desire for a safer space but I genuinely don’t believe that that is the beehaw admin teams primary desire. Or if it is, they see it as a marketable USP, not a thing they necessarily believe in. I think from the start they saw the potential for making money and this is just another step on that long process.
Lmao they think federation is the reason no one wants them.
No one wants Beehaw because you do not negotiate with racists and bigots.
Given the extremism I’ve seen allowed on lemmy, I don’t blame them for wanting to bail. It’s definitely been killing my enjoyment here.
Yeah, I feel like the Reddit concept of having moderators per community isn’t necessarily working out too well. When those moderators become inactive, that’s quite a problem.
I really think it’s the admins responsibility to be cleaning up those dead/ inactive communities. So far I’ve not really seen that happen.
Hmm, by “cleaning up”, do you mean moderating those communities or retiring them?
There’s some pretty popular communities that don’t get (enough) moderation…
