Excuse me, don’t mind me. I just came to receive my downvote from OP like everyone else.

Ok this one made me chuckle
hamid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m really upset someone finally downvoted you. I resisted.
gullible@fedia.io 7 months ago
Being entirely untouched was what made it funniest. Welp, joke’s over. Everyone go home.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 months ago
OP when he’s the one taking the heat from the instance and the admins everyone complained about from experience:
hamid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Nice selfie of you calling mommy to protect you from the 15 year old hexbears
Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I literally moved instances and blocked their shit so fast that your head is still spinning. All on my own. Idk what you’re on about, hunty.

Lol I made the lemmitors really mad and they think I care about their downvotes and opinions its the most fun I had all day at work while I get paid.

Is there a way to see if someone has multiple accounts?
db2@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Probably not, they’re still working on basic admin tools and that one would be more advanced.
hamid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
No one asked you about your thoughts or opinions, believe it or not you are so worthless two people bothered to press down on you.
Fleur__@lemmy.world 7 months ago
When the shit post is agenda post 😔
hamid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yes my evil agenda to not restrict the posts I subscribe to on my home instance. To not have every leftist and non-American point of view removed from the largest lemmy instance and to not be subject to an American neoliberal consensus? I’m guilty. Sorry!
I just don’t understand why everyone wants to defederate and was having a shitposty time collecting downvotes. Why? Because this literally doesn’t matter. There are plenty of tools on lemmy to deal with annoyances including creating your own instances, the subscribed tab, block lists, and lots of stuff that this beta software has in the works on the roadmap. All in all people are taking everything way too seriously for what this is, hobby software run by amateurs and individual people not corporations for sharing links on software that isn’t anywhere near being complete.
Does moderation suck? Maybe, who cares? Tomorrow is a whole other day of more posts. If you really want to create a new comm on a new instance and do a better job than lemmy.ml. Ruud did it, you know who isn’t? The people grandstanding and downvoting.
There is so much negativity surrounding Lemmy it is surreal and way out of bounds for what this actually is. This is why I joke around and post weed memes and sometimes poke a bear. Everyone needs to chill the fuck out. And if you think this is Russian propaganda or whatever that is fine.
OrangeJoe@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I get the sense that it’s really not about people having leftist or non American points of views removed, but that people are sick of the extreme shit they post and their attitudes. And it’s seemingly entire instances dedicated to being that extreme, not just some individual users.
Personally though, since users have the tools now to block instances, I don’t think there’s really as much of a need to defederate unless the instance is specifically doing something more than just posting their views. So I agree with you there. Except that having to go out of your way to block stuff like that makes for an experience that isn’t always great. And for me it’s been something that doesn’t really make me want to participate or use the platform much.
Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Omg you’re that hypocritical guy that was complaining about people complaining too much about Hexbear. You seriously put your take out there, got ratioed, and now you’re making a post about how people shouldn’t argue in favor of defederation? It’s one thing to say “I don’t think we should defederate from this particular instance” but to complain about people talking about it is far outside the bounds of reason.
I think you’re a Hexbear person in masquerade because you’re using the weird faux first principles argument style that conservatives and tankies use along with the disengenuous redraming tactics of trolls. People are allowed to care about things that you don’t, and they can argue in favor of things you don’t like. I find it amazing how you accused me of being a child, and now I think you were projecting.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
OP sounds like a jerk, but he’s not wrong. The calls for de-federation are about as ubiquitous as reports in online gaming.
De-federation should not be taken lightly. It undermines the whole point of Lemmy. It magnifies the shitty people on your server (you aren’t locked in there with them. They are locked in there with you). It promotes echo chambering and limits external viewpoints that help us form good opinions. It makes the server boring.
Don’t do it
gullible@fedia.io 7 months ago
It really, really depends on the instance’s users. So long as they’re tolerable, there’s rarely a reason to defederate. If you host mostly trolls, spam, illegal photos, or hateful content, tolerating it is unnecessary. I’m not here to interact exclusively with folks who seek only to regress my understanding, personally.
Relatedly, the most delightful folks exist on a broadly defederated instance, beehaw. Also relatedly, solarpunk hosts my second favorite users. You guys are fantastic.
fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yeah, most instances should remain federated even if they’re somewhat distasteful. Just the extremes and harassers like Hexbear and lemmy.ml should be defederated.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Hexbear and to a lesser degree ML and grad evoke the fear of becoming the Nazi bar, but for tankies.
If many new users land on “all” and sees a bunch of crazy posts, they are gonna just leave.
If everyone is cool being known as a home of ultra leftist, often drifting into true tankie autocrat worship, then so be it.
I’m aware who built Lemmy and so on, no need to recite the lore.
If people want to discuss defederation there’s nothing wrong with that.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
What about threads?
Kostyeah@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
IMO threads should be defederated on principle. Having a massive and evil corporation like Facebook here goes completely against the spirit of the protocol.
yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 7 months ago
At first I disagreed about your characterization of OP based on just this post, but then I saw the comments on this thread.
Anyways, I also think defedding will cause a problem. It might even cause this platform as a whole to fail or to have one site rise and be the main site which is the opposite of what this is all about.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
I was all ready to rush in and defend him for getting downvoted, but he’s asking for it.
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yeah except Echo Chamber paranoia is completely unfounded
It’s been proven that social media companies defy human social behavior and intentionally force you to see more content that will lead you to encounter “the opposing view”, not out of some inherent Grade A Grillin’ centrist urge to make everyone play nice, but because they know damn well that it drives up engagement from everyone being at each other’s throats in these forced encounters.
See also why you just cannot seem to escape tangentially seeing content related to users you blocked on Instagram or keep getting recommended users from in their social orbit that you “might know”.
The truth is that the ability to just ignore people who you don’t want to engage with is what keeps society peaceful most of the time, because going out of your way to force contact with people who disagree with you isn’t breaking down your personal barriers it’s laying the groundwork for a restraining order.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
You’re not wrong, but if I take all my like minded friends and make a gated community of my own, I’m seriously culling the number of potential view points.
crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 7 months ago
Just selfhost an instance and be your own admin.
CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 7 months ago
One thing I love about Lemmy is being able to remind people they can just start their own instance if they have issues with how things are being moderated.
VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 7 months ago
People could create their own subs and run them as their personal fiefdoms on Reddit yet it didn’t stop the usual bitching about mods.
r00ty@kbin.life 7 months ago
Yeah, screw you. I'm gonna start my own instance,with blackjack and hookers.
woelkchen@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m gonna start my own instance,with blackjack and hookers.
And I’m gonna start my own with the sole purpose to defederate from yours!
Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
That’s a pretty meh solution. You need to sub to everything to populate your federated tab and then your federated tab becomes a tell of what you subbed to.
crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 7 months ago
That’s a valid point, but at the same time I get in my feed what I wanna folloe, and not random things so I end up spending more time on lemmy I ever did on reddit.
That’s a plus for me.
hark@lemmy.world 7 months ago
This was most apparent was when people were shrieking about tankies. Seemed like redditors trying to recreate reddit on the fediverse.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Well tankies are the fuckin worst and you should block me if you disagree
SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Tankies are pretty annoying, but what’s much more annoying to me now is people whinging on about tankies that aren’t even there. The amount of comments to the effect of “just wait for the tankies to read this and do (X)” vastly out numbers the number of comments I see from actual tankies. More often than not, those tankies fail to ever materialize.
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Nah. It’s not about “feefees.” If an instance promotes pro-Nazi content, defederate ‘em.”
hamid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I actually agree, this post is about the libs who want to defederate lemmy.ml tho

assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m impressed. You’re so insufferable that you’ve managed to piss off both Tankies and the people who hate Tankies.
Thank you for posting this though. This thread has managed to reaffirm my faith in Lemmy users. It’s a relief to see that people who bitch about mods and “hurt feefees” are still ridiculed.
It’s a shame, almost. After reading through this thread, I get the distinct impression there would’ve been much more spicy takes for you to die on. But, c’est la vie.

mihnt@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I just want to defederate myself from yiff instances and that one where the owner is using bots to pull threads from /r/overwatch to their own instance. I mean, you do you, but I just don’t want to see it on my feed.
Wasn’t this an option that was supposed to be added?
thespezfucker@lemm.ee 7 months ago
sorry for being out of the loop but what does defederating do? why is it so controversial?!
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Defederating means that if your instance defederates another, that other server’s content will not be propagated into your instance. Therefore blocking all content from that other server into yours.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 months ago
It means Hamid has to make another account

Op is the doppelganger Karen of Lemmy. Complaining to everyone but the administration about something they are clearly wrong about.
