I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

Do you mean disabling downvotes? That’s how it is on Blahaj. It definitely makes a difference to the amount of toxicity I think.

    On Blahaj reports are the only way to express disapproval of content. So you could for example spread fascist dogwhistles about not liking politics, and if Ada doesn't understand the dogwhistle then your content doesn't get removed. That gives cryptofascists free reign

    I've seen quotes directly lifted from fascist works upvoted by hundreds on Beehaw. The problem with only-positive user feedback is that as long as it seems like a positive statement that others support people will often grant it further support without thinking about what is actually being said.

    Or at least that's what I hope was happening.

    If you can point me to any comments like these, I'd love to remove them fwiw.

    Would that actually violate the guidelines? This was around all the time of the defederation drama, so ages ago in internet time, and I recall looking at the guidelines and thinking "Well this isn't a bad faith argument, and it's not technically hateful unless you know where it leads."
