People should be welcome and free to discuss just about anything, authoritarian governments and their propagandists should be kicked the fuck out.
Yeah, I see equal voice as an important goal to strive for, but realize that’s difficult on anonymous social media. It seems like it’ll only get worse as LLMs improve.
Yeah, well said. I’m not sure about seeing where downvotes come from, if I could it might be worth getting back into my abandoned account to provide more evidence that defederation is warranted.
I don’t want to simply become insensitive to everyone else’s disapproval around me - rather I want the system to work properly so that I am only getting disapproval from people who I either respect or at least are neutral
Same. I want a system where everyone has an equal voice with limited censorship and a zero tolerance approach to governments or corporations spreading agendas.
The fediverse shouldn’t be segregating users based on what instance they’re in.
If an instance is full of authoritarian propaganda and extreme censorship then actual users should leave.
I see more trolls on lemmy.world than any other instance
Maybe they see your ml account and hate you by association because of abuse they’ve suffered from other ml accounts
With the ability to block hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, I got cocky and started recommending Lemmy to people that I know irl, however upon thinking it over in greater depth, I am afraid to do that anymore.
I don’t even admit to anyone that I use Lemmy, too much political extremism and propaganda.
Within a couple weeks of signing up for Lemmy I was told I’d “get the wall”, and had to abandon an account because Lemmy.ml users followed me around and downvoted everything I posted (mostly funny memes).
More like CCP and propaganda enthusiasts
Right, but when one of the communities has a reputation for authoritarian admins and mods dedicated to spreading propaganda it’s a bit different.
“Here” as in the fediverse generally, not “there” as in Hexbear.
The Fediverse currently has over a million active monthly users, and had more in the past. You think it’s not worth it for them to spread propaganda to a million people in an environment they can manipulate? Come on.
Nonsense, go take a look at Hexbear or Lemmygrad. There’s very little moderation here, why wouldn’t they target it?
Yes, DEFEDERATE LEMMY.ML
They won’t get paid if they don’t effectively spread propaganda.
I’m throwing stones. Lemmy.ml is toxic and people managing communities there are partly to blame.
Lemmy.ml is a cancer on the Fediverse. If we want it to survive, we need to cut it off.
In my version of software I still see lemmy.ml comments even though I’ve blocked the instance.
They’re clearly malicious, they should be defederated.
If you can dodge a kink you can dodge a ball
Bots are a big problem on Lemmy too.
