Wait the pole can talk to the humans? I imagined that the poles could only talk to each other and observe how the humans in their neighborhood live their lives and talk to each other about it. But your version sounds fun. I mean it might even work as a small webcomic.
When I first joined this community I saw it as a respite from reddit where I was free to chill with people without being constantly expected to debate or defend arguments or anything. Just a forum where people are nice....
To add on I think it is also a thing of social norms. So if a plurality in a post starts being argumentative then it can become the default way others talk in other parts of the post.
So it sort of is an “Embody the change you want to see” thing.
I recently made a new account on lemmy.blahaj.zone, because I’ve been harassed and doxxed on my old account and I wanted a fresh start with a more lighthearted online identity that I could be more open about my gender identity on. I’d heard blahaj zone was good for trans people, so I made my account there. And yeah,...
For those that have poked around other fediverse stuff beyond Lemmy, and been around the spaces awhile, what’s stuck out to you as stumbling blocks, or basic user experience fumbles? Which parts do you think may be technical, and which may be cultural?
No centralisation means there’s no canonical single source of truth.
I don’t think this is a bad thing. Having centralization leads to one narrative taking over the post. With more decentralization, there is a natural way for different kinds of conversation to take root.
Also, this is going to occur much more when people get the ability to block instances anyway.
Thank you! The !technology chart is surprising. I think what you suggested is the most likely reason why that’s happening. Also maybe later I’ll put up the code that I used to scrape the data so you guys can double-check if there were any bugs.
Yeah, I was thinking of scraping the active users as well but from what I observed when trying different instances, the active users aren’t counted separately by instance so the active users would just be all the active users on that community no matter where they are from. That info is already available on lemmyverse.net so I didn’t want to copy it.
I bet there is a way to do this with the Lemmy API but I don’t have a good understanding on how to use it so I am just waiting for someone more knowledgeable than me to try this again but with more care.
Edit: Unrelated but I went through the subreddit stats for a bunch of subs and it seems like posts and comments for a lot of them have dropped off after the API changes so that seems bad for Reddit and good for us.
That’s why I included the words informal, but I get your point I hope it doesn’t become too bureaucratic and is just a place for admins to build trust and communication with each other so federation/defederation is a more conscious decision.
This is why both safe spaces and public spaces are needed so that ideas/behaviors have one place to form/grow and another to negotiate with other ideas/behaviors.
The way that each of these spaces is moderated becomes important.
That’s fair. I would hope that someone who has a genuine constructive criticism would be able to communicate it, but it might not hurt to have a rule reminding them to acknowledge and affirm the core concept before providing criticism. I can see how someone being a little curt and just voicing the criticism might come across as being anti- whatever the topic is.
They don’t necessarily have to outright right say I agree with the core concept in every comment but instead they could add on to what is being said. For example, if someone came to me with real criticism about an idea I had but didn’t at least try to offer anything on how to make the idea better it can come across in an online forum as being contrarian or argumentative instead of constructive.
No disrespect to the folks at beehaw, I may still make an alt account there. I appreciate what they’ve built, but it wasn’t the best fit for what I was looking to join. Ideally I’d be able to participate in their communities with this account, but I totally understand why they defederated with lemmy.world.
That’s fine but I mean why not join an instance that is federated with both of them?
Good-bye (lemmy.world)

has beehaw gotten more argumentative as of late?

You can be banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone for calling out transphobia

What do you think some of the fediverse's primary stumbling blocks are?

Is defederation from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works still necessary?
This is more of a question for the admins, but this can certainly be a more open discussion....
Safe spaces are important
