it’s slowly turning into the old twitter.
How?
Yeah, this is just manufactured drama. The screenshots showing what preceded his comment show the whole thing to clearly be bait for the purpose of creating drama.
The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue.
I doubt that it would make Lemmy significantly worse. I’ve already had to block nearly a hundred lemmy communities for containing the “mindless trash” that is abundant on reddit. The reality is that most people aren’t smart and don’t want to browse and participate in intellectual content. They want to mindlessly scroll through endless memes. I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.
I don’t think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.
Lemmy is only better because it’s not centrally controlled.
I think it’s essential to have one or more communities like this. There were a few on reddit – watchredditdie, declineintocensorship, and more. The admins shut them down. I was unsuccessful in getting them to move over to Lemmy.
Absolutely the same things happen on lemmy. It’s to be expected from both mods and admins. We need to have a place we can go to find out “which are the bad communities & instances”.
The main problem I foresee is that those “watchredditdie and declineintocensorship” subs seemed to be well modded and mostly populated with intelligent people. In contrast, lemmy seems to have quite a lot of trolls, unintelligent people, and likely astroturfing. That will make things more difficult.
Thanks for the info!
I may add options to modify the exported data in some ways via a simple checkbox in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it.
The 2nd screenshot https://github.com/StableNarwhal/Lemmy-Userdata-Migration/wiki/How-to-only-export-or-transfer-a-part-of-my-user-data,-e.g.-blocked-instances%3F shows that feature already exists?
What about forking lasim, which is now inactive? https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
It’s better than the built-in option because it gives you more options. For example, if I only want to add blocks from one account to another without overwriting any other settings. I don’t see that your tool allows for that.
The point is to search the whole fediverse, not just one instance.
