how is Lemmy going for you?
Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
You're viewing a single thread.
Feels good to see it growing, I made an account really fast after lemmy got released, but still used reddit, too. I realized fast this could be the "new reddit" after the API thing and made some commercial posts for lemmy over the last months.
The only thing I am not happy with is the defederation idea. Don't misunderstand, it's good to be free from extremist politics or porn, but in fact reddit isn't that aggressive in the way defederation is done here. You just don't subscribe shit-subs. And this kind of self control would be nice on Lemmy, too. Why I am not able to just defederate my account from stuff I don't want to see would be better, imo.
Reddit is even more aggressive, hexbear is descended from a banned subreddit (r/chapotraphouse)
And the porn stuff?
I mean it's all been a decision from Admins. Let instances defederate from each other but let users decide on their own. A warning label would be enough, something like: your comments/post on this instance wouldn't be seen from other users of your home instance or something like that.
I mean the solution actually is, people have Lemmy accounts for different stuff, this isn't a practical solution when the Normie's hit Lemmy in the future.
What is this about porn stuff? I was just speaking in reference to the instance I am from, which does not have porn.
I've seen admins asking for more fine-grained moderation tools. Maybe eventually things will work the way you're hoping. Here's a quote from a Beehaw admin,
an unfortunate reality we’ve also found is we just don’t have the tools or the time here to parse out all the good from all the bad. all we have is a nuke and some pretty rudimentary mod powers that don’t scale well.
Defederating prevents trolls on another instance from coming into comments in local communities to harass people. From an admin/mod perspective you have to take some kind of action to stop that.
