  • Duplicate communities aren’t a replacement for subscribing to moderation. If we split a community in 10’000 pieces it would not really make sense to call what remains “a community”.

    Even now when a community has a schism and you get only one alternative, that community gets split in something like 90/10 and it becomes a distinct community, not just a choice to ignore top mod’s authoritarianism. In partice most modetators remain impeachable and their abilitt to shape what the community is unchallengeable without everyone facing nearly insurmoubtable friction, like the need to entirely reorganize as a group and basically start over the community.

    Ultimately lemmy and reddit exist to concentrate soft power of persuasion in the hands of a few and this is structurally, systematically assured and I don’t think this will ever change on lemmy, we’re already in too deep.

    This is the future for the next decade. It will not change without going through the cycles of abuse over and over while the moderators will suppress any public awareness of their biases and abuses, suppress any form of organizing against them and this will continue until the unignorable stench becomes impossible to ignore. Until then, just suck up to whatever the mods tell you to believe, keep your head down and just try to survive.


  • The niderators ARE the problem. Their task is impossible and futile. Everyone has to do it and that means the infrastructure for it will not exist as long as a team of idea shaping moderators stands in the way.

    We need

    Locally running open source content discovery algo

    Locally running user reputation evaluation

    Subscribeable moderation actions

    Crowd sourced reputation weighted moderation

    The ability to tune all those setting under the hood





  • They had 75 years to make peace. As the party with constant military supremacy and backing of the hegemonic power, the onus was on them to make it work. But we’ve known for decades that Israel’s leaders sabotaged the so called “peace process” and only wished to foster more hostility so they of leverage their military superiority.

    Good thing both sides have been breeding child soldiers like crazy so they both can have the blood orgy they crave so much.

    We just want to forget this cursed land of hate exists, is that so much to ask?
