There's almost always a more deserving community that could use some good content and growth!

The tricky bit is how you guys have redefined what xenophobia/sexism/racism/transphobia means. I don't mind catching a ban, but at least get the reason right.

[can@sh.itjust.works]

Nailed it.

[diva@lemmy.ml]

You haven't even had any mod action taken against you on lemmy.ml from what I can tell.

Plenty of other instances that you do use have banned you for racism and trolling though.

This one was really funny:

[ryathal@sh.itjust.works]

It would be a fundamental change, but communities should be global and not tied to instances. This would allow for the necessary centralization and reduce duplication. It could also be used to ensure communities survive a in instance going down scenario.

I'm just here having newly federated everything and glad to be the fuck away from reddit

[kaboom@reddthat.com]

I remember that. Yeah, some hexbear users were saying that all white people should be killed. Apparently saying "no one should be killed for the color of their skin" is racism. Or at least according to their definition of racism.

I am so glad I blocked their instance.

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

I am, but I already am.

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

.world is full of powermods lording over their little kingdoms too.

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

. . . And how would moderation work?

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

Likewise the same with .world. Aim for a smaller instances community if you can contribute.

[mlg@lemmy.world]

Which is why their TOS prohibits all discussion relating to it lol

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

The .world admins are puppets of the Dutch government and the .ml admins are puppets of the Chinese government

[viking_hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Huh. I sit corrected about that part, I guess

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

The English word bad is based on the Old English word baeddel, which meant gay, intersex, or pedophile, and made no distinction between the three. So it's basically a homophobic slur.

[goodeye8@lemm.ee]

How would that even work? Imagine you spin up a brand new instance and create a new user and want to subscribe to a community. Because there is no one source of truth does the new instance simply not have the posts and comments that were made before the instance was created? If it's supposed to get historic data as well from where is it getting from? Does it pick a random instance and pull all the posts and comments from that instance?

What if that instance is defederated from another instance with the same community and doesn't contain the posts and comments from the defederated instance? Does your new instance have to go ask all the posts and comments from all the other instances to rebuild the community dataset on your instance? What if these two instances that are defederated both create the same post with the exact same content? Is that one or two posts?

What if user on one instance changes the name of the post but there's some weird bug that allows only half the instances to register that change. Did that change actually happen or not? How do you solve the data inconsistencies if there's no central source of truth?

What about moderation? There's no central authority to define moderators or moderation policies. How do you verify who is actually a moderator and not someone trying to impersonate a moderator? What if different instances have different moderation policies, how would communities agree on a moderation policy if in essence both instances can claim authority over the community?

And these are still pretty high level questions. It would get more complex if we were to dig deeper into a possible solution. Even if it's all technically solvable I think the solution would probably be so complex that it becomes unmaintainable which means it becomes unusable.

[rhoeri@lemmy.world]

Yeah… your modlog history paints a different picture. Apparently, you seem to think the rules of lemmy don’t apply to you.

[rhoeri@lemmy.world]

Take a look at the modlogs from .ml admins and moderators. Their rule 1 violation is a catch-all for anything that hurts their feelings. They remove shit that clearly break no rules all the time.

Don’t believe me? Go to any .ml community and respectfully disagree with anything positivity said on the topic of Russia or china. See what happens.

It’s almost as if they’re not smart enough to know that the modlogs are public or something.

[rhoeri@lemmy.world]

Check the modlogs. .ml uses rule 1 as a catch all for whatever is said that hurts their feelings.

Almost daily there are removals and bans that don’t break rules.

[rhoeri@lemmy.world]

You are unwittingly making their point for them. Hilarious!

[rhoeri@lemmy.world]

Oh the irony.
