Meanwhile I fled to Lemmy from Reddit because I need a place to show art without being under some platform whose vision and actions I don't support

No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?
Said that I would murder andrew tate is given the opportunity and apparently that counts as a credible threat of violence
That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it's geared toward the "right kind of people"
I'm fine with that
Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.
Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.

I got banned once for telling an absolute cunt that she was one in "am I the asshole."

I told him to fuck himself plenty and never even got aknowlaged

i guess most of us dont know a lot about the whole fediverse stuff. but the longer you are here, the more you will learn about it. so far, it's pretty interesting!
The beauty of the fediverse is that the last panel can't happen.
We control our own instances. There's no world where admins wouldn't defederate from any Facebook attempt to barge in.
Maybe a few larger instances sell out, but users hold the power here now. If an admin betrays our trust, we'll just make a new instance.
Even more than defederating, it's in the hands of users. If people were to flood in from somewhere with bad intentions, it would likely be from one or two servers. At that point, just block those servers/communities from your view and continue about your day

Dude... Like....
Duuuude...
I don't know how to phrase this, but Reddit was getting filled with... Normal people? Nongeeks? The socially adept?
I'm sooo glad to be back with silly peeps. I missed that sense of critical self awareness haha. And I've been able to express some controversial opinions without getting locked and banned, which is mellowing as fuck.
I believe reddit was simply filled with all kinds of people. There is an array of subs to choose from with different interests and activity levels. I find it silly that people on reddit consider themselves "non-normal" and "geeky". I don't think you're that special.
This is true with all forms of social media. I remember when Twitter was starting out, and one of the main complaints was "Everyone was sharing pictures of what they ate for lunch", and my thought was "Don't follow those people". Reddit has a lot of crappy areas that won't be missed. There are a lot of dumb admins that only use the site to have a power trip. But beyond that, there was a lot of GOOD admins, and GOOD subreddits that were filled with interesting discussions and nice cultures.
This is why I am excited about the Fediverse. There will be servers run by meglomaniacs and trolls. There will be servers and communities filled with racist, misogynistic assholes. But you don't have to go to those. They can be blocked at the community and server levels.
I don't think it will be a problem as we get more and more people here. Having a bigger user base will allow for a better experience for everyone in that more exposure will make it easier for more tools to be developed. More people means more communities, and finding ones that cover more niche topics, which will make the platform more useful.

I can say things like:
"I like Brains faggots more than any other brand" and "Retard the accelerator" without my comment being deleted and/or Reddit-banned for hate-speech.
I once got suspended from Reddit for saying: "The Scots weren't innocent during the British Empire. They were used for a lot of rape & murder".
It was considered racist. Until I appealed with 2 academic history papers that showed the Scottish Highlanders were considered a "martial race" and were used extensively in colonial campaigns during the British Empire. I really don't want to have to fucking educate dumb-as-brick Yank admins who don't know history or language beyond their shores.
I was finally site-suspended and can't create new users because a mod accused me of evading a sub ban. I didn't. Another mod just unbanned me cos the reason I got banned originally was idiotic. The mod didn't care. Re-banned me so my 15yo account got permanently suspended by the admins.
I'm done with that fucking site.
The first part of your post is really confusing. Why would you talk like you're using English from 1930s? Is English your second language?
No. I'm 40yrs old and I don't keep up with the modern-day lingo. 😂
Also I'm British so I speak British English. "Fags" are cigarettes and "faggots" are a type of food.
Kind of hard for moderators to know that maybe.
I would just not use those words to not be misunderstood. :)

I was permanently banned/ suspended for posting a link to Google Streetview of a public layby.
Hows that for random and arbitrary!

This is one of the biggest aspects I looking forward to with a federated future. It will be easier than ever to pack up and start your own thing, and it can be as connected/disconnected from the old thing, as you want.
I mean, that's what already happened with Lemmingrad.
I personally don't care what their opinions are, but funny thing is that they can defederate from pretty much all instances where they feel attacked. As long as this doesn't change in the future with the fediverse, I'm okay with that
“include this”, “include that”, bitch, I don’t want your propaganda in my place, gtfo
Beehaw did it already :)
Not that I blame them.
Beehaw's degeneration is actually temporary. They said they would like to refederate with major instances when there's better mod tools available. The problem is they're only 4 admins and don't really have the capability to moderate that well right now.
they're only 4 admins and don't really have the capability to moderate that well right now
We know, they continually remind us.
In your entire comment history, this is actually the least hostile comment you've ever made. Amazing
Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure he intended it to be more hostile. Maybe next time. :)
Username is assbutt, I expect nothing but shit-talking from them.

Yes, that is good communication. Most people only look at the latest thing. By repeating themselves, the message is the latest thing multiple times, meaning more people see it. Repetition is not a bad thing in mass communications. They're doing a good job

Beehaw did the opposite. If you are from reddit, you are not the pink people. You are the grey ones. Beehaw said no before the fourth panel happened.

Original comic by @webcomic_name (Instagram) aka Alex Norris - a true legend!
Something like this could happen. Some instance admins of Fediverse instance admins met with Facebook. They are trying to include facebooks services to fediverse. I hope they wont do that. Otherwise this meme gets reality.
