Memes about the Fediverse
Other relevant communities:
The fediverse mostly has two types of people: people who don't want to be part of surveillance capitalism, and those who got banned on centralized social media for bad behavior. Unsurprisingly, the second group causes the same problems here as they did on centralized platforms.
There's really only two types of people who get mad at mods:
The people who break the rules then get mad that they suffered the consequences
The people who see mods using the position just to have the smallest modicum of power over others and just reflexively swing the ban hammer without looking at context, seeing if there is a pattern, giving warnings, or anything else. They just remove and block what they, personally, do not like.
There's a boatload of both here, just as there was on Reddit. The differences are that it's smaller here, so you actually see the people complaining about the mods and the modlog is public so you can always see if the mod's actions were reasonable.
I don't see much but I also don't frequent the main news and politics forums, and avoid getting involved in arguments about the best Linux distro is (when we all know it's... nah not going there).
Arch, btw
Arch?
Man, your spelling is horrible. That looks nothing like mint at at
I always spelt it as Debian but who knows at this point how to spell anything correctly.
That's a funny way to spell LMDE, but we'll allow it.
Let’s just cut to the chase, cause we all know it’s TempleOS.
Well, now I know you're crazy. I mean, you could have at least picked the #2, Hannah Montana Linux.
The best Linux is WSL
Hey Emperor, I’m happy to hear your experiences have been better :)
Yes, those two topics often turn out feisty in the comments. Thats why I’m excited for Mlem’s 2.0 release where we can toggle on/off filter word lists. Sometimes I just want to chill and enjoy the positives with my fellow lemmings.
I know that feeling! When I say I like Linux and use a particular distro someone is often attempting to convince me to switch to another one hehe. But I’m like “I like my current configuration and migrating again is a lot of work”.
Maybe you wouldn't see so much hostility if you weren't going around harassing people for owning horses. You get what you give.
What?
Would be nice if people would just ignore true shit posting. After reading that dumpster fire, here's an idea for people who absolutely cannot let it go. Write what you're going to say in the box, then think for a moment what you are going to accomplish responding to an obviously miserable person, then click cancel, downvote, and move on.
The only thing you accomplish arguing with shit heads on the internet is accumulating cortisol from fight or flight response, being pissed off the rest of the day, and have accomplished NOTHING even if you "win" the argument.
You make good points.
Lol oh....thank you.
Well that wasn't very Mr Rogers of them
OP, what the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
Careful, you might get yelled at by Sunshine for posting pictures of captive cats fighting, you absolute monster!
Thats right! Look at them, caught by their capitalist overlords and forced to work for their kibble.
Oh the humanity..
Most of Lemmy's user base is made up of tech obsessed weirdos with an axe to grind against other social media platforms.
Of course they're going to be toxic.
Yes, this is quite true.
Although we should spare a thought to the leftists doing this for political reasons who are also weirdos. Looking at hexbear, lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml in particular.
They have too many thoughts of too low a quality already. I'm not lending them any of mine.
leftists
lol
While I think Lemmy is great, I feel like there’s way more nitpicking about things and that I have felt more targeted here sometimes for differing in opinion on topics. On Reddit I don’t often run into the same person twice after having a disagreement unless it’s a subreddit I regularly visit. I just hope we could have more positive interactions in the future. [email protected] is great for that.
I’m really excited for more mature moderation tools to facilitate a kinder atmosphere in the future.

NGL, I feel like there's a higher concentration of people on the spectrum on here that might contribute to this.
Game knows game.
Hello sunshine. I hope you are doing well and thriving.
somehow this comment sounds the most hostile in this entire thread.
it's the "dead tone" punctuation:
Hello sunshine. I hope you are doing well and thriving.
vs.:
Hello sunshine! I hope you are doing well and thriving! <3
completely changes the tone! ;)

I think it just results in more bans and blocking, instead of feeling picked on you'll just be banned, at least on far left instances/areas.
I got banned on Mastodon for 'climate change denialism' which I thought was hilarious considering I have likely spent more money and more of my time to be climate positive than the person who banned me and the people outraged by what I said combined
But they wanted to be hyped up by a garbage doomer article and by me arguing that the article was doomer bs and bad maths triggered them

Just linking some more wholesome communities
On voyager you can block communities and filter keywords from post titles (not sure if it’s a voyager setting or a lemmy one though). My first two words are “Trump” and “Elon”, it has significantly improved my viewing experience as well as some other political words.
This has not been my experience. Maybe try different communities or instances?
(mean sounds)
(Counterpoint?)
(extremely long critique about one irrelevant detail that you got slightly incorrect)
100% agreed

Cuddling and licking each other's ears.
