  • The Fediverse has its flaws, but it's also better than the alternatives.

    Such is human existence - seeking improvements, never finding utopia.

  • Some poor judgement from admins, essentially, combined with... ambiguous policies.

    It's not something like "Holocaust denial", but a big kerfluffle with them refusing to remove a particularly bad mod, and especially pussyfooting around the issue for the longest time, giving contradictory or vague answers as to what they were doing, has damaged faith in the admins pretty severely, and it'll take time for them to win it back - assuming they do so.

  • lmao, he still salty. Don't know why he thinks I misgendered him, unless he has some pretty deeply rooted sexist ideas about language that he needs to shed. :)

    And 'sexual harassment' for facetiously saying that someone who is obsessed is in love with the target of their obsession? And that I'm obsessed for noticing someone else pinging me unprompted? lmao

    The rest is just Holodomor apologia, unsurprisingly. Anything to get their genocide-denying red-painted Nazi rocks off.

  • I went into the comments section a few times since, as an observer. Whole place has shifted right, hard.

  • I hear you, but I also believe that the balance you describe is size-independent. If the fediverse consisted of only three people, and one was an asshole, what’s to gain from allowing that asshole to run rampant on your platform if you’re trying to attract non-assholes to your anti-asshole platform? There is no scenario where that doesn’t lead to burnout.

    I mean, the amount of media on a platform one consumes certainly adjusts the amount of bullshit on a platform one is willing to endure. I don't think it's size-independent.

  • It all depends on one's interests. If I was primarily a lurker, like I was back on The Old Place, I probably wouldn't find enough historical content to keep me invested in the Fediverse, for example.

  • Hurts every time.

  • I don't think that the admin is talking about the process of administrating their own instance when they talk about being disappointed with the Fediverse, but about their own user experience as a user of the Fediverse.

    They want to browse and comment and doomscroll too. As it stands, they find that there's no instance or comms with the correct 'balance' of quantity and quality (or, at least, morality), and they don't see any immediate solution or combination of federations that would fix that, for their experience.

  • Hurts every time.

    Jump

  • I believe it's more about the Fediverse as a whole, not the instance they were running. No instance is an island, and all that - we don't have enough activity for a thriving community on our own, so we have to pick-and-choose who we federate with. Too closed and the community dies. Too open and you can become overwhelmed by bad faith actors. At some point, it may be that you just decide that you can't find the balance, or that the balance isn't attainable in your position.

    It's a thankless job, being an unpaid admin. I absolutely sympathize with Rikudou_Sage's position.

  • I'm onto your Ukrainian witchcraft, you can't fool me with your facts and etymologies!

  • After getting an unprompted ping from a tankie, I searched my name, and phew. Looks like they still love me!

  • With how much they obsess about me, apparently the tankies agree!

  • Only went back for a month, because Jesus Christ that’s a lot of references to me. In the process I gained a lot of material for this comm, so that’s something, I guess?

    Blew up my two favorites of “He sounds like my history professor >:(” and “Why would you do democracy???? PugJesus moment”

    Sorry for it being sloppy, I don’t find their attention as novel as I did the first time, so I just used MS Paint instead. Reuploaded for night-mode/readability (hopefully)

  • Claiming that an authoritarian dictatorship would be democratic

  • No, no, I grew up around conservatives. I can assure you, people are legitimately this stupid. They just have a different fascist regime they simp for.

  • Boggles the mind that some people take ghouls like this seriously. Even moreso than genocide denial like this is allowed in any decent instance on the Fediverse. Admins need to start taking this seriously.

    btw bbg, screencapped the whole post, even the parts where you ramble on about things irrelevant to the point in order to give your your bootlicking the old Ben Shapiro shine. Keep watching, sweetheart, I know you can't live without me 💋

  • Pakistan bombs Kabul in 'open war' on Afghanistan's Taliban government

  • How can one not consider the responsibilities of the USA and more generally of the West in all this…

    I'm sorry that 20 fucking years of fighting the Taliban wasn't enough to satisfy you.
