How’s Lemmy.world mismanaged?

Fuck it. I'll take my media raw. I'm not gonna block something just because it offends me and if shit posters start taking over the place well thats just society baby! I prefer it that way to giving some central entity the power to 'clean' up everything how they see fit. Not gonna lock myself into an echo chamber if I can help it.

To all the admins, thanks and take your time fixing things and if instances go offline for a while, thanks for giving me a social media break!

I bet that dude said something racist and got dogpiled. I only see toxic comments on lemmy when I say something racist.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

That's a fair point. While racism thrives in small communities where any rare truth gets downvoted, Lemmy's federation has made it almost impossible for racist communities to reach critical mass here.

As someone who browses /new, I've seen numerous times someone trashing Lemmy, and then 20 posts down I find they posted something incredibly stupid.

honestly I found this was dependant on the instance you are on. I switched instances off my previous one (well technically I bounce back and forth) and I find it super dependant on the instance I'm on with what the toxicity levels are.

Thats funny how first paragraph of their post is describing my experience with Reddit. I think, in majority, people here are nicer. Also Im curious how many backend issues had Reddit in it's first couple of years? I doubt situation back then was better. And its surprising to see anyone on Reddit complaining about backend problems here, while they literally made impossible to create any 3rd party apps or software based on Reddit API.

I think they might have a point about the moderation issue. It's the same story on mastodon and the fediverse where there is too much to moderate and prolific ban evaders can run rampant.

For what it's worth I believe that rough edges like this are a small negative compared to the postives of being able to use social media without being under the yoke of a big tech company.
