Here is my notes from using Lemmy:
- There is core limitations on Lemmy which cannot be fixed even on the long term( for example finding communities via search. Results from .world is very different from the result that your instance fetch, no ability to upload media with the same ease and speed of Reddit,...etc);
- Herd mentality is very deep on Lemmy, compared to other social media websites;
- People seem to take disagreements in opinions personally, which is weird on it's own;
- Lemmy users would like to have a working cancel culture so much that they would have no problem deepthroating a dick to get it;
- Lemmy users and with them Digg 2.0 users, hate with passion anyone who criticize their platform and is ready to go against logic to defend it;
- Lemmy Admins and moderators seem to have a control fetish: on Reddit, it was very normal and easy to me to reach out to a mod to restore my posts or to explain himself and even discuss and change rules or reverse discussions. Yes there was some of them who also had control fetish, but in the communities which I used to use that was kind of rare. Meanwhile here there is no modbox functionality which complicates talking with mods;
- Some Lemmy users seem to be easy to obsessive over things.
I feel there needs to be disclaimer on Lemmy servers/introduction page to warn people about negativity on the platform, but I don't think it will ever happen.
About moderation, I feel the only outcome that will happen is bad moderation (IMO) will keep happening on the platform till either the servers hosting communities go down or till the mod become inactive.
On a side note it feels like a lot of Lemmy servers are suffering financially and might close soon, while Lemmy developers did not even try to help them by implementing third party upload functionality(Imgbox, catbox, imgur,...etc) in the app and the web front end to lighten the load on the server admins. Right now most Lemmy servers I know of are protected by Cloudflare and pictures uploaded on some servers don't open natively(you need to click it as a normal link and pass cloudflare verification to see image).
It's what it's here. but I just wanted to lay out what I think about Lemmy culture, moderation and software.
OP, you upload AI slop and crop out artists names every time you post. If you want a community that appreciates your actions, you could not be further from that place. I'm glad you feel unwelcome here, because to many of us, you are. Please go back to reddit.
When called out on this, OP made the following thread mischaracterizing artist signatures in images as advertising and trying to get a rule made on the comics community to force all users to remove attribution. https://lemmus.org/post/21226925
In the comments they state that they refuse to consistently link the source, even though they are able to, until the rule they suggested is put into place: https://lemmus.org/comment/17161116
Notably, this all exploded after that community's mod suggested a "no bots" rule and created a "two posts per user per day" rule that OP is blatantly violating.
OP is upset that they don't get to use other peoples spaces for free exactly as they want to. They have a post in powertrippingbastards recently that amounts to this as well. Now they're just continuing the tantrum elsewhere because they didn't get the response they wanted.
Beep, a suggestion: Make the space you want to see on lemmy. Create a comm and set the rules you want on it. You want all posts to have what you consider advertising stripped out? Go for it.
"NonAdComics", "BeepsMemes", etc. The fediverse is still small enough to carve out your own space.
Capitalism is when an artist signs their art
