What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows?
Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.
Personally I am commenting and posting much more now than ever on reddit. I want to transition to lemmy and see it grow as I refuse to use the Android reddit app.
I am not typing/imagining a comment and then not posting it here either like many people do on reddit. It seems like a good time to become less of a lurker.
That's already built-in by being able to block instances. For example, you can't see my comment right now because your instance blocked mine, presumably because you didn't want to be brigaded by communists!
As a reddit convert who just started on kbin, where can I read a bit about all this communists thing? I'm left leaning enough to call myself communist between friends and family so I'd like to observe where the political tendencies of these various instances lie. If it's too much of a hassle, never mind. I'll probably figure it out soon enough.
I have heard both that they are trots and MLs. As far as I understand it these are 2 groups of people with deep enmity towards one another so I am skeptical of this. The domain name is .ml.
Trots are maligned by most other communists, socialists, anarchists, leftists, etc due to their insane beliefs and obnoxious actions whenever enough of them manage to congregate to get anything done. MLs I have less knowledge of but the are also state communists.
I have spent my whole life making use of services run by bonkers reactionary right wingers who hold and actively promote the most unimaginable heinous political positions. So I have a hard time being too precious about it.
Here is a post someone shared: https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/post/5781
I will admit I did not read it very thoroughly as I do not have the background knowledge to evaluate the claims made. So I neither endorse nor refute anything in it.
Thanks for the link. I'll try to read it through. I also completely agree with your stance on bonkers reactionary right wingers. I won't be too picky about a couple dozen tankies, thank you.
At the same time, don't ban people for "brigading" just because they're unhappy with a moderator's shitty decisions. Seen that happen way too many times.
