Yeah, but a noticable increase in inappropriate jean applications!

I have just the video to fix that, - Dosh Doshington

I'm getting banned less since moving to Beehaw?

So for me it's personal growth.

I've no idea how offensive you are man, but made me laugh

[โ€“] The_Che_Banana 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm not, really. I admit I cannot tolerate people who make political ideales their whole identity, and when pointing out the hypocrisy I'm often put upon the wall as an example to those who may question authority.

That, and maybe one or two fart jokes too many.

[โ€“] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah it is an ongoing issue I'm having with lemmy as a whole too, the overmoderation seems heavier handed then Reddit sometimes

What? Fart jokes? Blocked! /j

[โ€“] Liz@midwest.social 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I would assume it's because you're now blind to the communities that enjoy banning people. Beehaw was pretty clear that they want to keep things nice.

[โ€“] The_Che_Banana 4 points 6 months ago

Exactly, and most of the the negativity is gone, a lot less anger-bait to browse through, and waaaay fewer extremists & shills.

Basically what my mental health needed.

[โ€“] Ashtear@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago

Seems things have shaken out (for now) regarding defederation, including less chatter about Threads than there was. I don't anticipate much change on that until the next big influx of users, whether it's people coming in directly through Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin or a new player joining the Fediverse.

Other than that, I've just seen steady growth in my communities.

[โ€“] doubtingtammy@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

Influx of libs. It's a sign of success for the platform, but holy fuck lemmy.world posters are annoying

".ml keeps saying things I don't like, defederate!"

[โ€“] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hmm... Today I learned that lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy instance.

[โ€“] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

It's usually the first listed in any guide on how to start using Lemmy, so it tends to get a lot of new-to-the-fediverse users. It's presumably where I would have ended up, if there wasn't a country-specific instance for me

[โ€“] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

What sort of things out them as "libs"?

[โ€“] doubtingtammy@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 months ago

Hmm. Let me check my inbox. One lib is complaining about leftists. Another is talking about "harm reduction" in the context of genocide

[โ€“] Thief_of_Crows@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Anything that suggests you believe the current state of the world is acceptable outs you as a lib. Saying things like "Yeah Biden's got some problems, but at least he didn't do a few of the things trump did." If you believe that things would have been fine were it not for trump, you're a lib. Or a moron, I cant always tell the difference.

Heres a great summary of liberalism: "If we put forward good policies into the politics machine, then other people will too, and because I have absolute faith in the system established by a bunch of slave owners, whatever comes out MUST be just and good." Which of course implies that if the result you want or need DOESNT come out of the politics machine, it is right and just that you should not get it.

Like, they fundamentally don't realize that the politics machine is capable of breaking, and that it has been broken for a LONG time (basically the moment it was asked to value the needs of someone who wasn't wealthy, white, and male.)

More bot content, spam and paid agenda posting from what I can see in /r/all or how ever the aggregation of all instances is called

[โ€“] Fizz@lemmy.nz 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Do you have an example of paid agenda posting? I haven't noticed anything that would suggest that. I've noticed agenda posting but it's most likely purely passion.

[โ€“] Umbrias 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

While not going to go digging for any, it seems a tad naive to assume that there will not be any unnatural/paid posting on a platform this open and easy access. You should practice good information hygiene either way.

[โ€“] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm not assuming there is 0 I'm saying I don't think it's a huge issue here and would like to see an example of what they consider paid posting.

On reddit for example I would see astroturfing on the front page almost every day.

[โ€“] Umbrias 1 points 6 months ago

Personally the recent sharp and sudden increase in Tankies is likely a symptom or an expression of it. While that could be a knock on effect from astro turfing elsewhere, see my last comment lol

[โ€“] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Redditors have been showing up, and lemmy mods are behaving more and more like the very thing redditors wanted to leave reddit for.

[โ€“] Liz@midwest.social 5 points 6 months ago

People with unchecked power being unreasonable! I'm shocked! Shocked!

[โ€“] exanime@lemmy.today 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The level of aggressive comments....

It's devolving quickly into Reddit. Everything is either black or white, dog shit or a miracle... No nuance

Increasingly people attack people instead of ideas when commenting

[โ€“] dessalines@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 months ago

Please report aggressive / toxic comments as a rule 2 violation here. We can and should do better than reddit when it comes to being respectful and kind to each other.

[โ€“] JCPhoenix 2 points 6 months ago

I think it's worse here than on reddit when it comes to this. Redditors these days (*takes out the walker and cane*) are shitty, but I feel like I'm somewhat insulated from a lot of it due to where I lurk/participate on reddit. But on Lemmy, I see it pretty much everywhere. Smaller userbase compared to reddit, so maybe the rudeness is more visible.

[โ€“] Decency8401@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well feddit.de is down for quite a while now.

[โ€“] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

Only the front-end of feddit.de has serious problems, right ? Why would the maintainers not run another front-end (e.g. Elk) on the same server and redirect their broken front-end link to that as work-around for web users ?
