The problem is that this and other places were sold as reddit alternatives and they're actually worse than Reddit in that, on Reddit , with one account you could choose what to see and when (akin to controlling your own federation). If you didn't like a mod team you could choose another sub easily. Same account. You could keep looking at the same place too.

Federation at the admin of an instance level means all that has a high cost (account per instance), you don't get to see all at once due to the need to switch accounts and communities are fragmented.

There's also a very clear thin skinned authoritarian attitude that seems to promote bullying against any type of dissent while claiming some sort of moral authority.

Lemmy is broken as a Reddit replacement. By not having the onus on the user but on the admin, and seeing the attitudes from the recommended major instances, it has little chance to generate diverse or interesting content and communities. Just very narrow and small, toe the line places with poor discoverability.

Shame.

Edit: in Reddit communities were above mods. In Lemmy, it's potentially/in practice whiny Mods complaining about anyone in their community that doesn't fully agree with them and having the power to completely ruin their account. Much worse.

We have both sides here, Lemmygrad for far-left people, Beehaw for far-right.

Right, I guess you would tell immigrants they're free to join another country.

Thanks for calling it "whining" when people engage in conversation about how to organize. You seem nice and tolerant. Not toxic, lover of safe (cruel?) spaces.

the enshittification has begun

Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.

Is that what you think it is? For some maybe, but I think it's good to take a look occasionally just to see what they're focusing on. The terminology used. It's more like recon. Know the "enemy".

Go eat the tendies your mom warmed up for you.
