MODERATORS
As a Dutchman representing the Dutch, we fully agree with the statement made.
Obligatory: G E K O L O N I S E E R D
The reason corporate social media sucks is its monopolistic nature. “Instance wars” are why lemmy is better than reddit, which consists of exactly one instance.
Yeah, right. That totally makes Lemmy better. It's so pleasant to always bicker and threaten to defederate from each other. It's also so unlike Reddit where Subreddits brigade each other and have sub wars. Lemmy is so unique in that... /s
What we need is a strongman to come along and tell everyone what to do.
Anyone unironically surprised by this? Lmao
Is there a federation map somewhere so you can see what instances are federated with each other and which are not?
Yes.
https://federation-checker.vercel.app/
This link lets you type in an Instance name and it will tell you what other Instances allow it and which ones block it.

It kinda pisses me off tbh. It's like that friend that has to keep telling you how boring the movie is when you're just trying to sit and watch it. Like, stfu and go away then, stop trying to be a crab on the bucket for the rest of us.

I am just a chill lemm.ee guy
I've yet to see any open lemm.ee prejudice anywhere. AFAIK it's the largest completely inoffensive instance and that's exactly what I was looking for.

From what I’ve seen, a lot of the toxicity is trickling down from the powermods. Same issue migrated from Reddit.
Mods will always be a problem.
I’ve yet to encounter a well adjusted human who voluntarily mods.
I just think it's neat.
Maybe we need a draft.
My preference is for completely community moderated platform.
People essentially vote for content moderation. Likely susceptible to gamification but I’m still interested in seeing it in practice.
Considering the use of downvote bots already, I don’t see that working any better. But then I don’t have any better ideas.
There was a good comment by @[email protected] the other day on an angry anti-.ml post:
Before joining Lemmy: "It really doesn't matter what instance you join, you'll be able to see content from all over."
After joining Lemmy: "So you've enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!"

dbzero on top. even after beefing with and being banned from another instance the admins let us stay federated.
.ml banning the dbzero admin instead of defederating will never not be funny.
"The users are fine, it's just the admin"

I am so out of the loop on this. People care about what instance they are on?
Yes! It's a sad, sad world. It mostly has to do with people's political opinions on moderators, i.e. ".ml are tankies" and ".world are right-wing normie fascists" or something like that. I have never — literally never — witnessed a .ml mod doing something I thought was bad. I have also seen only one tankie since I joined .ml. I have witnessed some kind of conflict between .world and .ml everytime single time I open Lemmy though. Kind of depressing. I wish we could make less of a deal of an issue that, all things considered, seems pretty small. Ah well, that aside, Lemmy is still great, it will just take time to mature — like all social platforms in their beginnings!
Pretty much the same for me. I've seen many posts and comments complaining about those kinds of things from .ml and .world; but close to zero of the actual behaviour that people complain about.
