  • I didn’t know this is like Beehaw where you need to come hat in hand with an introductory essay before you can ask a question.

    Funny…

    …told people to make up their own mind, and i’m still the bad guy.

    We replied to your post. That’s all there is to it.

    …all this toxic positivity where everyone has to walk on tiptoes.

    I believe you can express nearly anything you wish. Why mention walking on your tiptoes? We’re engaged in a discussion about something on which we hold differing opinions. That’s perfectly acceptable. However, we are permitted to present our perspective.

    But I think we have now spoken to you at length enough on this subject. For me, this is a case closed.


  • It is also about the way you communicate. You joined the Matrix server (or Discord, I’m not sure which, as they are interconnected) last night, and the first thing you asked was: “So, anyone wants to talk about admin-banning Izzy of science fiction? Cause it looks pretty bad honestly.” Meanwhile, other conversations were ongoing. Most people typically introduce themselves or at least say hello to everyone.

    Antik responded to you, but you didn’t agree with his answer. You followed up with “And btw the Sync users are more toxic and defensive than anyone… Just sayin.” and then you left the server.

    It’s evident that you joined for a specific reason, and your comment about the Sync users gives us an idea of where you stand on this issue.

    It’s perfectly fine to have differing opinions; just express them in a respectful manner.

    Lemmy feels as a aplha/beta product that we ar all testing right now. Nothing wrong with that, in fact, I like Lemmy more then Reddit. But you cannot expect everyone to love it right now.

    For Reddit its clear: you sign up, you search for a community and you subscribe.

    Here, you sign up (if you don’t get the spinning wheel). You search for a community. Oh, it is on another instance. What is a instance? Then you browse and see different Lemmy websites. You get confused, you heard something about Fediverse but what is it?

    Also, there is no karma what important is for many users. Mod tools are extremly limited and all the apps you can use on mobile are in alpha/beta/in development.

    There should be a easy to understand welcome page upon sign-up and I think this needs to be prioritized if we want to welcome (more) mainstream users. The post that explains how Lemmy works on c/lemmyworld doesn’t cut it.
