It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....
This exact thread down to the comments could've been on reddit and no one would've noticed. It's the same rehashed arguments and discussion ad nauseum. If you don't like some instance/magazine/whatever just block it yourself and be done with it.
They have to control what you read and it's always the same argument. 'Dogwhistle', 'Groomer', 'Nazi', 'Pedo', etc...
Funny thing is you never see this IRL and it's only the terminally online who write like this. IRL discussions are much more mellow and you can talk with people about stuff, even controversial topics and you can always drop it and be good.
Every comment in this thread you could've found on reddit and copy pasted it here. Same quality of discourse.
That's always how it works out tho. If you work for anyone you never do it as an unspoken agreement as the rules will change later on. No matter the assurances.
tbh the culture here is reddit in its purest form right now. once they start sanitizing everything here again I'm out. One opinion allowed ONLY and if you dont align you're a NAZI and FAR RIGHT TROLL
Powermod of over 1000 subs. Permanently online. Bans users for no reason and posts inflammatory comments and pins them in threads. One example - Do you remember the r/Art drama where the artist got her art removed by a mod who said it was AI art (it was not) and berated the artist for her style? Yep, that's awkwardtheturtle.
Basically the worst of the WORST of reddit mods with no life outside of reddit.
Apparently awkward was responsible for a lot of the John Oliver spam in the subs he modded. Might be why he's finally gone now. He even contacted John Oliver on Twitter to cry about his suspension and ask for help lol See pic related
Like many other subreddits, r/Finland is allowing its users to vote for whether or not they should a) reopen as normal, b) remain closed, or c) remain in protest mode....
There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of...
I mean you can do it yourself. I turned federation status off for me to get a feel for kbin, interact here and see whats on here. If I get bored I might turn it back on and see what's happening in other places.
This is good imo. Let the user decide what they want to see.

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

On The State of /r/PICS: Profanity, Offensive Content, and An Open Letter : r/pics (teddit.adminforge.de)
Keep up the good work r/pics, this last one had me wondering if you were actually r/maliciouscompliance !
Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?
I don't remember what caused the Voat's origin, except it involved Reddit HQ. And then it went under in 2020....
