I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.
It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it’s much more diverse.
Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it’s on the roadmap.
Client apps could do it. I’m using Memmy at the moment and just turned off NSFW content.
More client apps are in development as well. As the eco system gets going, more options will allow for this.
I’m using Liftoff and although I’ve got NSFW filter enabled I’m still seeing porn, lots of it.
can’t see any porn here on lemmy.world
You might have disabled NSFW. But I don’t want to fully disable it as there are some NSFW posts that may not be porn which may be worth seeing.
How do you disable it? I have tried on in the settings but doesn’t seem to work. It just blurs it.
Do you normally browse all? I just browse subscribed - and this isn’t a problem for me. “All” is a measure of what’s popular, and porn is popular.
Yeah but right now I want to discover the new communities.
I actually hasn’t see any porn when from the browser… Only when I decided to download an mobile app I got flooded by a lot of NSFW… I wonder why… Maybe the lemmy.world itself doesn’t have much porn, but what is “hot” and “active” in other instances it is? That explains why going directly in to https://lemmy.world/ they doesn’t show up.
I think NSFW content is fully hidden by default, but then it depends on your app/account config.
I don’t want to fully block it because some NSFW is not porn and is worth seeing.
hmm, does kbin not get the porn? how annoying
You can easily filter it and block users/communities/sites.
But you can get it if you want.
i’m on kbin and never have seen porn.
Jerboa can block NSFW.
you can block instances with kbin
Lemmy.World has gained a lot more fascists. Seemingly not so much the case on the other instances. Maybe because beehaw defederated so they think that’s the place to be to troll lefties and liberals and organize? Uncertain but anecdotally it’s definitely happening.
Mods and admins need to get proactive. We’ve all seen what happens to places when the right invades - everyone else leaves, it descends into a cess pit, even the nazis leave, site dies.
Let’s not turn into voat.
The right has nothing to offer anyone who isn’t a giant bigot, these days. They have no positions beyond, “hurt the people who I say need hurting.”
There is no valuable discussion that can come out of talking to a right winger. At this point they are all Sartre’s antisemite.
In fact, including right wingers only strengthens left and liberal echo chambers because instead of discussing nuanced matters everyone jumps up to dunk on the Nazi.
Kill baby Hitler in his crib. Autoban right wingers before they destroy the fediverse.
Based AF comment glad to have you here comrade
Do you mean… anyone who isn’t a pro russia/China shill? Sorry but the LM/fascists/nazis are all the same. Bad people.
literally didn’t mention china or russia but yeah some tankies circlejerking their bad takes on the internet are not equivalent to the nazis who are out there murdering people on the reg.
the fact that you think they’re equatable, as well as the fact that you bring them up out of nowhere points to your true ideology, even if you aren’t aware of what it is.
You just ratiod that guy holy smokes 🍳🤌
Damn straight.
been here a month or so.
def seeing more abusive people show up, and nutcases who are spamming their ideological nonsense on every post who have think being first to post about their victim hood as misunderstood holders of THE TRUTH is some sort of relevant commentary and they are being oppressed by some other group of a different ideology.
this thread seems to be exhibit A.
also way more low quality shit posting and memes which i have to spend several minutes blocking each morning.
Perfect example of Reddit refugee. BLOCK BLOCK BAN BLOCK. WHY ARE PEOPLE I DISAGREE WITH IN EXISTANCE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Maybe you could just say I don’t agree with you instead of blocking things outright
except that isn’t what i said.
i guess you no read good?
Yes it’s full of liberals now this used to be a leftist safe zone. Soon they will be mods and any dissent will result in permant ban
Edit: libs proved me right so fast check those salty replies bet they even Reported me. Healthy discussion involved some heat love y’all
He said long time not “joined 12 days ago”
Tankies are not leftist.
Libs downvoting you but you have a point. All the users in this thread whining about “tankies” have accounts created since June lmao.
Well, yeah?
Why would we want to be here when it was only a bunch of douches role playing as Stalin?
Like I remember visiting when CTH left reddit and Lemmy has certainly come along way in having a functioning user base these past few weeks.
Why would we want to be here when it was only a bunch of douches role playing as Stalin?
So don’t come here? You’ve got plenty of other options. Why come into leftist spaces then complain about how you don’t like how leftist it is?
Because I’m a leftie?
Tankies are not the only leftist’s out there.
Are you talking lemmygrad leftists or real leftists?
This is hilarious and probably true.
ALSO would your solution be ONLY leftist mods, would they be any more or less likely to quash dissent and perma ban whatever they don’t like?
Nah let people fight
Gettin’ hot in here. Remember Rule 1 people!
you are assuming that people are capable of good faith.
some simply are not.
Got my first explicit scatological DM from someone with no fewer than three actual slurs (n-word included) in their username yesterday, from the lemmy.world instance (yes, my instance), so that was “fun”. I’ve also seen the same sort of posts, from the same sorts of users, elsewhere in comment sections. Fun times.
I know it’s kind of getting bad here for people who like don’t want to say slurs
I saw the r-word two separate time on one post and thought that was unusual.
The memes are way better and hitting real good these days.
OK, I’m going to lock this post. People obviously didn’t get the message from my previous comment.
