Is there more privacy though? What you post is public and people can use the api/scrape it soo…
That being the case, I would LOVE better search indexing, so I could search Lemmy, then reddit, THEN the rest of the web lol.
yeah, this is literally a public forum. Everything posted is public. Nothing is private.
Privacy is such a loaded term. To some people it means that your data is.not being actively sold to advertisers. To others it means everything is e2e encrypted.
We are free from “intrusive advertisers who tracks every movement, clicks and time spent on each kind of post, comment or whatever”
As well as device fingerprinters
The one I can search posts from about a very specific issue or question I have with google
It’s not a service issue, it’s a people issue. Just wait and see Lemmy just turn up the same.
Lemmy no official apps but fediverse cross post are awesome
Reddit still has niches that (unfortunately) exist nowhere else, probably won’t exist anywhere else soon due to the need for foot traffic, and are tolerable as long as old.reddit.com stays up.
And it’s the lesser evil over Discord.
Lemmy is of course 1000x better, but it doesn’t matter if your niche there is a ghost town.
But, at least trying to grow said niches didn’t hurt. I’ve been on lemmy for more than a year and i’ve both created new horror groups and “adopted” abandoned one and, at the very least, now there’s some life there. Nothing amazing, but people post and interact now.
If a group you find interesting is abandoned just start posting there, also, if the mods are gone for more than 9 months, just ask to the instances admins to become the new Moderator, all it took is to send a mail most of the time.
I only lurk on Reddit these days, but if old reddit goes away I’ll be completely done with it.
anything worth value, is 3 > 4 years old, and all those users are “deleted”.
if google and duck duck go stop indexing old.redd, I’ll probably never see it again.
The mods are not better here.
Are you sure it’s not just your instance?
mango is both retarded, and unrelatedly correct.
Yes.
i just choose (other than lemmy) irc and some random obscure chatroom hidden in a webcomic
Tell your friends about the Boost app. It makes things so much easier.
Voyager has big Apollo vibes which I am appreciating
Better than sync?
I used Boost when it was for Reddit, and never looked back. It’s got everything I could need so yeah. All that for Lemmy is amazing.
I’m using Arctic and really like it! Apollo vibes.
Boost has ads. Just FYI, I use it and like it a lot but some can’t stand ads
Fair. I paid the small one-off fee to disable ads and yeah, that’s that. :)
Are you joking? Lemmy is basically unmoderated, and the little moderation we have is trash.
Thats the neat part about lemmy, every instance can do their own thing.
If you’re not happy with the moderation you currently have, you can always check out other instances
Moderation is community level though.
If you bubble everything up to instance admins they basically melt from the effort.
I can’t speak for other instances, but we don’t melt from the effort.
We don’t either
Yes and no
If one of our users report something on lemmy.world for example we can remove it for all our users.
So yes, the post still exists but from the perspective of our instance it’s removed.
Several people have already raised concerns with the fact that they got banned from several unrelated .ml communities by the same mod for breaking the rules in one community. There are several topics with broad appeal that have their largest community on .ml. Switching instances is basically the same as making another account because you’re still subject to the .ml moderation.
Then the people should switch over the communities to another instance then
The people don’t really do that. A move needs to start from the mods, whether it’s because they want to move or because they did something to piss everybody off.
You’re on one of the best-moderated instances unless you hate trans people.
I’m aware. That’s why I chose this instance. And yet.
I’m guessing the issue is that instance mods only see reports. What we’re missing is moderators that care about a community and curate it.
Internet moderation needs to be performed dispassionately. It’s administration, not leadership. But still, it appeals to power-tripping, self important assholes who have no interest in curating a functional community but instead ensuring everyone thinks and acts exactly like they do. The larger lemmy gets, the more of these awful moderators make up the moderation team. There is no mechanism in place to prevent this. I don’t even know how such sa mechanism would work, but as soon as one is figured out, the Internet will be a better place.
[REDDIT]
better mods
highly instance dependent.
Yea, its just the same exact power hungry mod template as everywhere else.
Yeah I mean look what instance this was posted on.
Probably they will ban me just for saying that.
I can’t tell if you’re talking about .world or .ml and the funny thing is that both of those would accuse the other of being the bad one
You are partly correct and I’m sure you can see what I mean by that.
I have had a comment of mine removed from .ml for (correctly) indicating that hexbear is not a trustworthy instance.
well you were spreading misinformation so
At least we have choices outside of those two, and open logs to peruse
Yea I’m banned from commenting on several instances of Lemmy. Not really sure why. I can view but I cannot participate.
Sh.itjust.works is defederated from some Lemmy instances, could be that?
💢 AM I BEING DETAINED 💢
DETAINED
Meh… Tha’s pretty much life.
I think you may be preaching to the choir on this one. 😅
I would choose outline of both statements in opposite colors so that it’s more ledgable
Uh, no. Better mods is bullshit.
The same powertripping happens here and the admins are just as dismissive.
Can confirm! You banned me from your little community because you were too fragile to hear that your religion is fictitious. On a post complaining that atheists won’t debate you.
It is so invigorating to see you remember me.
You were banned for deliberate intellectual dishonesty, which I had clearly predicted in the thread. Shame I forgot to block you as well. Let me take care of that.
Of course I remember one of the most fragile and hypocritical of all the several dozen regulars on Lemmy.
It’s a shame you want to block me. I like you aside from the massive projection issues. Oh well.
It’s shocking how often I think the assholes of Lemmy have hearts in the right place and thus I don’t block them but are otherwise overly committed to specific and weirdly hyper critical takes.
Like they want the discussion/fight but only as long as they win every time even though no one is 100% right about anything. And not everyone needs to know or believe in the same hyper specific thought process they believe in.
It’s shocking how often I think the assholes of Lemmy have hearts in the right place
Zero tolerance policy here. If a person is being needlessly antagonistic or resorting to personal attacks, they get blocked. On reddit it was pointless because the assholes number in the millions, but Lemmy is small enough that it’s made the experience better over time.
Reddit’s blocking mechanism was also insane. Take this hypothetical thread,
- User A
- User B
- User C
If User B blocks User A, User A cannot reply to User C. Blocking on Reddit prevents people from replying to anything that is a reply to you instead of just your own comments.
Works the same here, from what I can tell. I would prefer a “this user has been blocked by you” message instead of just cutting off the whole thread.
Fight fight fight!
