I like so many things about kbin, but definitely don’t need another unmoderated spammy site to visit. I check back every few weeks, and nothing seems to improve.
Given the apparent inability to implement blocking, I’m not terribly hopeful.
This is from a month ago…
Yeah, it’s very sad.
The core of the issue is that it’s too easy for us privileged folks to suggest things like - and I’m not trying to pick on you at all here - that vulnerable people stay in any sort of “self-enforced walled garden” rather than robust moderation tools and the human resources to use them to their full potential.
This is effectively permission to continue their neglectful behavior.
As I understand it, one of the major issues with moving to e.g. Mastodon is that the Fediverse doesn’t implement blocking in a way that you’d expect, at all. It’s effectively impossible to block someone the way we’re used to blocking in places like Twitter, Instagram.
I have also heard a lot of stories from Black folks about anti-Black sentiment on Mastodon.
This has absolutely nothing to do with veganism.
I’m in the US and don’t have the ability to opt-out of these things.
I used Sync for Reddit for many years but the Lemmy version’s privacy policy is not what I was hoping to see. I would love a clarification around what privacy improvements a subscription might add…
I’m definitely trying to lurk less here compared to when I used to use reddit.
