Thanks for the heads up.

Alright. I see you managed to post to lemmy with it and the comments show up on your blog, nice.

That user still made this post right here, and also they made up the fact that Lemmy is gaining in popularity.

as they are more prone to censorship

More prone than who? ml?

Pretty sure i have seen you say this explicitly at some point, but i’ll just take these easy to find snippets from 6 days ago, where you talk about what you’re up to outside of hexbear, although tbf you were talking about slrpnk users here:

I’ve spoken with a few users, carefully pointing out how by being anti-Marxist but not also being anti-liberal, and further having no links to theory of any sort beyond aesthetic choices, opens them up to opportunism. They seemed to vaguely accept it, hope it can get through to them.

I am trying to convince individual users when the opportunity arises.

You’re doing great! Also with your “reasonable nice guy” facade!

The hexbear cowbee. But let me rephrase. Are you not engaging in world communities to act as a missionary among the non believers?

Are you not using this alt account to act as a missionary among the non believers?

If a billionaire buys LW tomorrow

lol that is a new one.

concerning behaviour from LW mods

Would you look at that, a mod of a big community for heated discussion said or did something that people took offence to. Surely must be the instance’s fault, would not happen anywhere else.

!movies@lemm.ee is more active than !movies@lemmy.world in monthly active users.

You are doing a good job there, also with advertising the community, but I’ll say again that the world community looks more healthy to me, it’s a variety of different users posting there, while the ee one consists half of emperors and your effort to try and force this, actually it is only three topics that have been created by non moderators on the first page.

That is a software problem, I thought you guys were all computer experts.

If world wasn’t so big, it would have probably not even been noticed, now it is hopefully getting fixed with the next update, if I understood that right.

Federation works waaay better than when the big reddit influx happened, that was kinda disappointing and I’m glad Lemmy will be prepared better for the next wave.

Lemmy.world has a bunch of memes and political screeching because that’s the kind of user its admins choose to encourage.

How are the admins encouraging these users specifically? I have not noticed this, but I have been blocking most politics and meme communities for a while.

I kinda want to give it another try. There was once a blogpost posted here (i think) about basically “how to have fun on mastodon”, something like that, but i can not find it anymore. Anybody remember this and got a link?

I was thinking i can’t think of a song, but yeah that would be kinda neat if it was just gone.

Never been, but american culture. Music, film, food. Americans seem to be really good at small talk and usually pleasant to meet when I’m on holidays.

I only block one user, because they brought their political topic to unrelated communities, and declared to continue to do so.

Just did not want to keep reading it. The person only has this one topic too, I am not missing out.

Those are great, but somehow all the cans that i am buying now seem to come with their own “zip”. Haven’t used the opener in a good while.

Sleeping pad shnozzle bags (pump sacks).

@Blaze@feddit.org falling asleep with a smile on their face tonight :)

Totally agree. But i don’t know if there is any hope, so many fedi people seem to not want any normies (people not working with computers i guess) entering.

LW rules still allow them to namesquat that community

So i had another look. I think it’s actually kinda crazy that you demand they should lock the dataisbeautiful community. The world one has a bunch of different users posting stuff to it, in the mander one it is 50% you. The mods are all active lemmy users, max three months since last comment (and we don’t know when they last logged in to lemmy). You just claim it is an unmanaged community, but it looks just fine to me, no spam or whatever. And i don’t agree at all that mods necessarily need to be actively posting into the communities they mod.

Quoting the quote where you mentioned me in that other topic

You can easily pick the “wrong” community on a topic, and see zero content when there’s another one full of posts but…

This does not apply to the world community, but i guess to the ones other than mander, ml and world:

The ml community is also not locked btw.

And i don’t see how this could be fixed in the lemmyverse, having multiple communities for same topic? It is just part of how this works? It is also kinda easy to tell by these search results which communities might be active. And if you’re interested in the topic, you’d subscribe to all of them (active ones). That’s how it was a year ago too, when i looked for communities of my interest.

Honestly i understand you less after looking into it more. I mean i get the desire to spread out communities and i think it would be a good thing, but you can’t just force your will onto other people and their ideas like that.

LW is so large than they have to be extra cautious with their updates. If they would be 20% of the total Lemmy population, and 30 of the top 100 communities compared to now, they would probably be more at ease with “me can mess up a bit, it’s okay”. Having them as a cornerstone of the whole platform puts them constantly under the spotlight.

Well then we agree that it seems to be fine how they do it.

What does “other instances” mean in a federated context?

It means that the instance admins have a higher responsibility towards their own users, mods and communities wishes.

I have another example for this !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz

Yeah well i don’t think they should lock that community if the mod doesn’t want it to be locked. Do you really think that would be right? Should i go and demand the solarpunk bird community to be locked because world’s is more active? I think it’d be pretty bad if they did, not that i think they would. Also i don’t think that user you called out is part of world’s staff.

The paradox of choice is something you have deal with in the fediverse i guess, starts at choosing a server. I don’t think it should be that big of a deal, as long as communities can be found from the instances internal search.

I still don’t think they keep us from being upgraded to be mean.
