Just because people complained about something in the past doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.

That said, alt-right types who want to get all “woe is me” “society has degenerated” are pathetic. They’re just as addicted to helplessness and being a victim as the “woke” progressives they bully. Just touch grass and move to a conservative place. They also can’t do that because they don’t want to submit themselves to God and so they can’t live with religious conservatives.

The problem is now that people don’t want to go to obscure forums or take the time to register accounts on dozens of websites. Everyone wants to be part of huge social media silos. Things like Oauth account creation might make that easier when users can do things like “sign in with Google.” Federation through sites like Lemmy could make things better since one account can access every other instance, but I don’t see normies ever adopting federated platforms unless each platform has an instance that becomes “The” instance where normies can enter “Lemmy” or “Mastodon” into Google and have that instance be the first result.

The world elites have a huge interest in keeping people in centralized silos because it makes it much easier to control the population when they’re gathered around only a few websites.

Since Lemmy is federated, anyone can start their own instance so it’s easy for users to migrate if the admins on one instance decide to start banning everyone they don’t like.

Alt left covers way too many factions of people that it could apply to. You have disaffected liberals, anti-woke progressives, left-lib Joe Rogan types, tankies and MAGA communists. MAGAcoms are just tankies who vote for populist Republicans because Bolsheviks and Republicans happen to align on many/social cultural issues and support using the state to crack down on what they consider moral depravity.

Does Lemmy have a feature for individual users to block instances?

This is one of the problems with the public mod log that Lemmy has. Transparency is one of the worst things to have when dealing with bad faith actors since it’s nothing but a public record of their “accomplishments.” It won’t stop shitty mods from being shitty.

One of the problems with the public mod log on a federated site is a moderator can just write something egregious for the ban reason and then the user is stuck with that. It propagates across instances too. I have a huge list of banned users who I never actually banned, and I assumed were banned by other instance moderators.

Having a lot of features to try to thwart bad moderation on a federated platform isn’t really that important anyway since it’s easy for anyone to simply create their own instance and users can migrate there.

It reminds me of slavaboos breathing through asbestos gas mask filters.

It turned into Yahoo Answers when JBP promoted it.

There’s another glitch where you mass produce shitty guns and then take them to buybacks run by the server moderators. You need to be careful because the moderators will try to trick you into admitting that you made the guns for the buyback, which requires joining a manufacturer’s guild and you can get banned for it. You have to play it off like you just make them constantly and had them sitting around.

Aside from religion, it’s objectively better.

I’d rather have AI artwork, but at least put effort into the creation and selection.

Autistic people who announce when they’re going to masturbate make all other autistic people cringe for being so incredibly unaware and making the rest of them look weird.

My brother is autistic and this is the type of autistic person who is hated by other autistic people. This is why autistic people hate mentioning it, because they get lumped in with these people.

Based on experience, possibly not more then a few months.

That could work but you’re still doing full cycles on the battery all the time. In the end, it might be less then daily use.

A phone is not a UPS.
