There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.
Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.
That place really went to shit over the past year. Which is hardly surprising seeing how many good people were pushed away from the platform.
Good mods were replaced by power tripping shitheads and good posters and commenters were driven off when they couldn’t use their desired app and the subreddits they liked went to shit or were nuked. Meanwhile, bots are ruining everything else.
And let’s not even get started on the ads, the IPO shenanigans, the AI thing…
Reddit needs to be taken out back and shot. It’s the humane thing to do; we shouldn’t let it suffer like this.
It was taken out back months ago but didn’t die for some reason and exists in this weird zombie state now
I’d argue that reddit has been on the decline for years. We are just now starting to see the impacts of it: power tripping mods, admins that don’t care about anything except click count and allow it, spez being a pedophile piece of shit who made the unofficial apps useless, the allowance of hate subs that only got banned due to the outrage, people leaving in droves etc. I do agree with you, it needs to be put out of its misery.
also too much: [deleted] [removed]
What’s the difference between those two?
Guessing [deleted] by the poster, [removed] by mods
There’s also the newer [ Removed by Reddit ] which means their admin mod team.
Upgrade!

Consider for a moment where you live. Now consider how we live.
People are crushed all day at both their jobs. They have their livelihoods stolen away from them to increase the profits of mega sized corporations and the 1%ers that control them.
The bi partisan police state is stronger then ever despite the George floydd protests (this is the 1% telling us the protests didn’t go far enough by the way)
There is little representation to be had at the voting booth. You would think the conservatives would be happy since they can choose between two right wing parties, but even they want their shitty version of change.
This isn’t a great way to live our lives for the majority of the population. Deep down, most people understand how broken and toxic living like this is, and it gets expresses itself through this toxic behavior. Not that this is any excuse for said behavior.
However, if you live in the shitter multiverse, don’t be surprised shitty people are shitty after getting treated like shit by other shitters while living a exploitative shitty way of life. Shit.
Fuckin A right. Well said.

Genuine interest or just spezzing?

tbh I’ve had almost exclusively hostile(-ish) exchanges on lemmy as well, but obviously going back to that morally bankrupt place isn’t gonna be the answer.
Like look at this shit. They’re all throwing a fit because the poor guy said to not be so hard on the dog’s owner, you’d think it was their kid that died not his. https://www.reddit.com/r/Edmonton/comments/1bymgws/father_of_boy_killed_by_dogs_says_media_attention/
So, I used to be a redditor. For eleven years, to be precise. Back then, for the first few years I was there, things were awesome. But as time went on, things seemed to get worse. Reddit has been on the decline for a very, very long time now. The community has become very toxic at this point; if you have an opinion they don’t like, they’ll dogpile you over it. They let their mods get away with abusing their powers (/r/SteamDeck is a great example), and they used to allow massive hate subreddits until the backlash caught up to them as well. All in all, they don’t care about their users. All they care about is keeping those clicks up. I was recently permabanned because I criticized some mods who reported it as “harassment”. Reddit is not a good place anymore, but they sure like to pretend they are.
My last interaction had me answering someone’s question then getting a permaban from some insecure mod who didn’t like that reality made them sad. I just walked away after 16 years.
11 years here myself. It’s a damn shame.
Worse: the question was “why do people think that…,” and the answer was literally just why those people think that. That had me apparently advocating for the abuse of children for some reason. It was weird. When I asked, they went off, called me sick, told me to get help, etc. It was totally bizarre.
That’s classic reddit, naturally.
Between it apparently using location to show you a front page even not logged in, and not being able to block sub reddits, i was just done with the website. I can’t fucking stand /r/onguardforthee or all those other tim horton trademark half wit “patriotic” twats.
Come to @apple_enthusiast here and watch the haters play. I wish it were just reddit.
You get banned and muted even if you don’t follow the rules. Also many of these rules are just umbrellas to give mods reason to surpress your ability to be heard if they deem fit.
The old site is only good for videos now. And old tech support stuff, if it hasn’t gone out of style.
I’m officially labeling Reddit as Nazi sympathizers, this isn’t a joke I am completely genuine.
The reason I know about Lemmy is because a few days ago they permanently suspended my account for “glorifying violence”
The horrible thing I said was that “I should have a legally protected right to punch Nazis” in a post featuring a video where a big dude knocks a neo nazi the fuck out. They swiftly denied an appeal to this ban as well so fuck me I guess.
Even if you think that I shouldn’t be allowed to say that, (which is stupid), I don’t think it’s permanent ban sitewide territory, especially when far worse things are happening on that site.
Some fuckwit had to actually manually flag that, according to their obnoxiously long DM about it.
On top of everything else they had the balls to say I should “familiarize myself with the TOS” like bitch you just banned me from the whole ass site forever I think it’s pretty safe to wipe my ass with the reddit TOS at this point.
You endorsed violence, that is against terms of service, there is no clause for “it’s ok to endorse violence against people we don’t like”. If you think that a blanket ban against endorsements of violence makes them nazi sympathisers, then you have some growing up to do.
You only have yourself to blame and you should be careful that you don’t find yourself banned elsewhere.
Nah reddit can fuck off for this one mate, I don’t give a shit what you think about this sorry.
I too have been recently banned. I had the audacity to criticize some mods. It’s funny how you’re permanently banned for “glorifying violence” when “justice served,” for example, a sub full of violence glorification, exists. But the violence is directed at bad people, so I guess it gets a pass.
They’re hypocritical, is the thing, not much more to say.
Yeah, that’s really all there is to it. Hypocritical and ultra temperamental.

They’re a transphobe.

If you’re weighing on on complex issues with simple replies, you’re going to come across as you’re concern trolling. If you’re regurgitating conservative talking points without realizing it, you’re going to come across as a conservative.
You mention being against wind as nuclear is better, but wind isn’t competing with nuclear. It’s competing against oil. Guess what a major export of Norway is. You’re regurgitating talking points from your conservatives.
You mention being skeptical about trans children, but in your comment history, you don’t propose a solution. Competitive and recreational sports has no effect on your quality of life. Why bother having an opinion on it?
“I support the british government”

I think you make a fair point. And regarding sports it really isn’t fair if people have an unfair advantage. It also takes away the fun others have.
I think it’s a hard decision to make because you don’t want to be labeled as transphobic, but you also don’t want biological and trans women competing in physical competitions. Now if it was about chess that would’ve been something else.
The big question is what is fair. And I think fair is when we all have an equal chance and it’s no one has an unfair advantage over the other. And this might also disqualify biological men and women if that so happens to apply to them. Because it needs to be fair.
I’m a trans woman myself btw and I would feel terrible if I were to compete with biological women in something physical. I just can’t imagine how that would be fair. Even if my muscle mass is mostly gone now, we are built different. Not better or worse, just different.
P.S. does baard mean beard in your language too?

letting biological men compete with biological women in sports
Is it fair to let Michael Phelps, who has genetically abnormally large lungs, compete against other men without that genetic benefit? Why is genetalia your preferred means of segregating sporting groups?
It’s not only genitalia, males have different hormone profiles growing up resulting in more strength.
Phobia is defined as an irrational fear, dislike, or aversion. Take the word fear out. Someone calling you or your statements transphobic isn’t calling you a scaredy-cat, it’s an attempt to notify you that your beliefs about transgender people don’t appear to be coming a logical, rational, or well-informed place.
Not that I’m accusing you personally of anything, I’m just sick people using the flaccid “but I’m not afraid of them!” argument.
Being a transphobe would imply that I’m scared of tra
…and here we go
From Murat Altinay, a psychologist:
Postmortem studies, which focused on male-to-female transgender brain, found that the brain volumes of transgender women were similar to that of cisgender females in certain areas, such as the central nucleus of the bed stria terminalis or interstitial nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus. These are areas that are essential in sexual behaviors, and the fact that the transgender female brain resembles the cisgender brain was important.
Researchers also looked at some gray-matter volumes and cortical thickness. Again, transgender brains showed similarities to the identified gender even before the patients started hormonal treatment.
There are differences between the brains of cisgender people and transgender people. Even as a kid, they can feel and suffer from their fate of having their brain in the wrong body. This is not some mere confusion caused by influence. Imagine your brain gets transplanted to a body of your opposite sex. Even a toddler would feel uncomfortable.
If it helps, at all…I don’t give a fuck either way. I find people who cling to the latest social trend as annoying as those who loudly oppose it. I enjoy educated banter from both ends of the spectrum…however, 90% don’t want a civilized & educated discussion…they want to insult and make you sound less than human in order to validate their beliefs & opinions. It’s the same all over the internet. Doesn’t matter if you are on Lemmy, Reddit, Twitter…doesn’t matter.
Hey, someone who says what I’m thinking.
And I agree, you find these people everywhere. Not just on Reddit. And they’re even on Lemmy.
Lemmy is overflowing with Nazi/Commie shit heads, which are constantly advocating for all sorts of violence, racism, etc and are supported by Lemmy mods and admins of different instances. If Reddit is toxic to you, then you must be one of them.
If Reddit is toxic to you, then you must be one of them.
Well that’s not very nice.
I’m not even talking about political stuff. I’m talking about how people make all kinds of false assumptions about you and accuse you of things when you’re just trying to have a normal human conversation.
The Reddit psychologists always made me laugh. “Hey, you disagree with me. I really think you need to seek professional help for your problems.”
Yes, because I don’t like Gale in BG3 and prefer Karlach, I need professional help. Thank you.
I was “YTA” because I let my friend’s dog into my room while he was whining outside my door at like 2am when my friend was away.
Context: I was letting my friend live with me rent-free for some months with me because he was in-between moving and at one point he asked me to not let his dog into the bedrooms because he ate cheeseburger from my other friend’s room one time. Everyone in the comments was essentially “his dog, his rules”. I deleted my Reddit account after that because I just could not reason with anyone.Yeah, sounds like Lemmy!
So, why are you here?
For the same reason I’m on Reddit - there are some communities I’m a part of.
By all means, please show us your proof, otherwise you’re just another anti lemmy reddit schill.
Just a reminder, encouraging people to be armed is not encouraging violence.
Work towards peace, prepare for the inevitable.
Funny, I haven’t seen a single “commie” advocating for violence or racism. It’s always the republicans.
Then you’re blind.
“Commies” tend to be progressive who also tend not to be bigots. Sling your shit all you want. Common sense defies redneck logic. I forgot, you’re here for the specific communities yet here you are. Go back to TheDonald
Progressive? Ahaha! Great joke!
