I agree with this. Context is important and it should be clear.

Not gonna lie, I’ve just had a look at the feed just now and it’s becoming noisy. It would be nice to not have to sift through so much chaff to find wheat.

I know there’s strong feelings about curated feeds around here but it should be up to the user to decide what they see for the most part. At least, they should be able to decide what they don’t see.

Either you are misguided or you know what you want to say would be considered bigotry and expect to have your voice heard by everyone.

Trans people don’t need to “think critically” about why they disagree with anti-trans comments. It’s not “healthy” for trans people to be constantly reminded that there’s a % of the population that want them gone. It’s not ignorance, it’s a done debate. It’s a waste to debate people who’s aim is to open the dialogue up to extremist viewpoints.

Actually it’s not as easy as yout make it sound.

If you Google “Lemmy” you get images of the guy from motorhead. I’ve even done site searches with specific instances and a lot don’t show up at all. Beehaw, sh.it, and kbin.social were very difficult to find with Google.

What would this achieve? Mods who’ve spent years building their communities aren’t going to hurt their reputation just so you can live out a fantasy of burning Reddit to the ground. We get it, it hurts to lose a community. But if you’re done with Reddit, post content here that makes this place better. For now at least, Reddit and Kbin/Lemmy will exist together. There’s not going to be a Diggesque switchover to this platform, there’s too many people who just don’t share our concerns, amongst other blockers. This is doubly so if the only unique content here is complaining about Reddit.

Basically, live and let live. Some people will find their way here in due time. Spez is doing a fine job of butchering Reddit himself. He doesn’t need help.

Since things are new here, it might be a good idea to let people know what they are getting into for moderation duties.

It would be good to have some info to hand, like what mod tools are available, what kind of sitewide rules they must follow, what kind of community rules they can enforce, etc.

I use Bitwarden for both passwords and TOTP. So much easier than messing around with multiple apps.

This is probably true. The front page is not barren, there’s plenty of users being active. The subs I frequented are still dark so there’s nothing for me, but it’s clear that Reddit isn’t going to start begging for us back yet.

Twitter and Reddit have really thrown the idea that the “elite” are somehow smarter or more competent into disrepute. They are literally just ideologues.

The same individuals who benefit from Reddit as a training ground for AI also have a stake in Reddit. They are transferring money from one pocket to another.

You should just make new posts of unique content instead of ripping posts from Reddit. Recycled memes doesn’t make a community - interaction does
