Having so many communities concentrated in one instance is a problem

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Having an architecture that locks communities to an instance is a problem. They should be distributed across the network with no notion of a home instance.

How would moderation work then?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Moderation is also just an event in the protocol, just like votes or comments. Your instance would simply have to aggregate all those events, just like the current "home instances" do for their communities.

Then you run into problems with instance admins disagreeing over moderation

196 is a fascist shithole and they are leaving blahaj because they finally acknowledged that fact and that there is an associated problem with misogynists and chasers on their platform. Good on blahaj for kicking out the trash.

They will be right at home on .world and frankly concentrating all the reactionaries there is good because it will drive other people to less shitty instances.

Because then allowing flat-earthers affect all the communities: https://lemmy.world/post/24135976

Also huge delay with some instances

Instance wars are so fucking pathetic

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You would say that coming from that dungheap at lemmy.zip!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Fantastic use of that meme format

I don’t fully understand this.

While having one big instance is not ideal, isn’t the idea that it should be easy to move once and if the big instance becomes draconian?

I thought the whole point of the fediverse was not to get locked into a walled garden and be able to decentralize as needed, ending up with a few big players is inevitable, no?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (7 children)

The issue here is that the community was doing well on one instance, then the mods decided to move without asking the community.

when i saw that announcement post i literally did a double take at my watch to make sure it wasn’t April Fool’s Day

Also, lots of discussion under the announcement post in the new comm https://lemmy.world/post/24437552.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (7 children)

Omg the disparity is palpable.

The post you linked:

we are going to continue to moderate on this instance exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.

The "we've already left" style post on blahaj:

Why? That's a complicated question with a long answer! The primary difference is moderatorial and ideologial differences between my team and Ada's excellent team of admins...

Edit: so in asking whether the moderation will appear the same to the users, the answer is "well yes, except actually no".

Even better one mod said

I can guarantee we will not be expected to entertain trolls

Their ideological differences have clearly been spelled out as not wanting to respect people whose identities they deem invalid.

Seems like they didn't get the memo that the entire point of coming here was to decentralize.

Then again /c/196 sucks so that's a fitting instance for them. Blahaj is marginally better.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

A balloon is an accurate allegory for reddit.world. it may be big but it's empty of anything of substance.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Drag saw 196 mods mentioning their plan to move instances after Ada told them not to misgender trans people. "Ideological differences", huh? Wonder what that's code for

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You did piss off a couple of powerusers dedicated to instance wars, but the mods are working to insist that's not what any of this is about.

Nonsence? Nonsence?

The machine that makes the memes also checks the spells you know.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (10 children)

More like Nonce Sense.

196 is a horrible community full of transmysoginists and chasers and literal fascists.

Makes sense. The two padded rooms of Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago
