I've loved the thoughtful discourse on Lemmy, I've grown weary of seeing news about reddit in the feed. Reddit died long before this last bit, becoming a haven for a particular, ill informed, consensus seeking group.
Then tonight, I had a reddit moment here on Lemmy where some non socialized, rude, consensus seeking user wanted to snipe and sounded like an over protected , suburban, adolescent boy.
I haven't seen one of those here yet and they are the absolute plague of open discourse .
Please Lemmy, don't let it go on.
Im still mad confused. You cant just search a random sub"lemmy" and add it, you have to add a whole ass lemmy "channel"?
I wish I had the resources to open and maintain instances. There's a few topics I followed on Reddit that I haven't really found an alternative for.
As I understand it, the cost isnt a big issue. But if you dont want your instance becoming a cesspit, its the time you have to spend moderating.
The service may change but the people don't. The average human just isnt terribly bright and there's always going to be dumbass kids and loser adults with too much free time posting low effort regurgitated content. We hit that point when the nostupidquestions/advice sub's did in fact start to be filled with stupid questions.
I think you may be misunderstanding the name of that community. The point is "[there are] no stupid questions," not "no stupid questions [allowed]".
The Eternal September is impossible to dodge, unless you impose a usage fee and iron fisted moderation. People are dumb, even moreso online.
lol the issue with lemmy isn't an influx of users. it's the outflux. all we're left with is Hexbear and r/atheism
Ugh. I remember the first one.
Me too!
Me too!
