OP is referring to Lemmy

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Lemmy is already cooked

Start your own instance that isn't, then.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's not the fix.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What is the fix? I don't understand what you are objecting to.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I didn't object to anything, if anything, I declared/observed.

Lemmy will suffer the same issues as reddit regarding content, modding, quality, etc. Just not yet

It’s the federation part

If there was no interaction across instances then their respective populations would be smaller and thus the experience would be better

Not a bug, a feature. Bubbles are not healthy, if you can see the horrible, the horrible can see you. You are reminded that there's dangerous viewpoints out there, they are reminded that they will have to debate and argue logically to be tolerated. That is one of the few ways to cure a toxic point of view. Doesn't work everytime obviously, but if you get one person to hesitate before posting some sort of BS comment we're 90% of the way there.

I'm talking from a Netherlands server, you from Canada. I'm sure lots of differences of opinion but I know you're a person with experiences different from mine and therefore I need to be respectful when discussing things I don't know anything about.

They are bubbles anyway due to mods and admins existing

But if I wanted to spread misinformation to people then it’s way more effective when the userbase is massive

Also bubbles are way worse when you have thousands of people which as already stated still exists

Bubbles are not healthy

I disagree. Bubbles can be good for protecting vulnerable people and groups.
