lemmy.ml is terribly moderated - how and where do you settle this?
I’m not quite sure how I best encourage this discussion - so I’ll ask this here. I am somewhat shocked, how /c/[email protected] is moderated. Large parts of the instance are in my view in tankie-territory like lemmygrad or hexbear, so much so that I find it borderline unaccaptable.
I question myself, how something like this could have consequences. Feddit has blocked both lemmygrad as well as Hexbear, lemmy.ml is several times larger and in many parts not problematic. Would that instance be blocked users would be unable to access a lot of content.
I ask myself, how do you settle this in the Fediverse, especially when it comes to larger instances. If the admins on feddit find the mods on lemmy.ml problematic, which avenues could they pursue to pressure them without defederating.
Other titles I thought about:
Feddit.de not beating the nazi instance allegations
Lemmy.ml welcome to the resistance
Also the incident that caused this very reasonable and very normal fedditor to get not mad at all
Someone needs to do a socio-linguistic study on Internet German, because it’s the most grating way of writing I can imagine. It sounds like someone talking to a bureaucrat, a police officer and their close friends all at the same time. It’s a policy paper crossed with a teenager. “Should the instance be blocked, users would lose access to a great amount of content. And I’m just wondering to myself, how can you solve issues like that?” How can anyone, let alone a whole country, stand this style of text?
Redditor germans have terminal debatebro. They are unable to engage with anything at face value, to them everything is an abstract talking point.
When your past and present is that fucked, you’d want to deal entirely in the abstract too.
(Takes one to know one
)
I think it’s the natural expression of anglophone debatebro culture in a language with a more clearly-defined formal register, but I only know a little German so idk
We don’t, dunking on each other for minor differences and shit like that is our tradition.
