You also have the option to not react to people you believe is trolling in bad faith, and report them if you feel they are brewing the rules.
Leaving more power in the user’s control- you decide a user is a troll and the mods don’t see it that way, you block them and anyone who does want to see them has the option.
I was just correcting your misrepresentation of drag’s neopronoun. Asking someone to call you dragon fucker every time they referred to you would not be shorthand. Plus, drag’s username was dragon rider where I’ve seen drag.
Here’s the thing - who cares if someone wants to post about flat earth theories? If people like it, it will be upvoted, and if they don’t, it will be downvoted. Why remove it? That’s the point - let the users decide, not the mods. Power to the people, the mods just step in when they post 10 times in an hour about flat earth theories.
Unfortunately, you’ll have to switch to subscriptions when you sort by new.
This is not true, the neopronoun was ‘drag’. Sorry you’re so caught up on what people want to be called. 🤷
Imagine running, say, a community for vulnerable trans kids, and being forced to allow a constant influx of ‘helpful suggestions’, just so long as they’re phrased in pretty language.
What will happen is Trans kids will go over to one of the trans-friendly instances, and the .world will be where the trans defenders go to debate chuds.
Imagine, letting people decide for themselves… 😱
Wait, it was about the VEGANS again?!
I agree with this, as long as lines are drawn at the kind of conspiracy theories of “homosexuality is a mental illness”, and the like. I want to make a point that this would pertain to memes as well.
This is the time to draw clear lines, because we are deciding the tone/direction of one of the largest instance in Lemmy.
With the timing being suspiciously close to Meta’s clearly bigoted “relaxation” of the mod rules, this brings with it a bad feel, but let’s remember, the fediverse is just growing and taking shape, so this was inevitable (and many of us have been watching it unfold). But we have to remember that we shape it, unlike the corporate shit we left. Make your voices heard.

I made this change because I believe banning things that are subjective quashes debate.
What was he trying to say?
Don’t apologize to people over little things, like being late or using too much of their time. Instead, thank them. Ex: instead of, “I’m sorry I’m such a mess”, say, “Thank you for being patient with me and supporting me.” It will make both you and the other person feel better than the alternative.
Your views are quite extreme and aren’t shared by most. Interesting that you group .ml in there too. Tell me, what instances do you find amenable?
