I’m here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That’s frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

    Sure, and you are the most sane person I’ve seen from .ml. Most of them act like Putin and Xi Jinping are humanitarians with rainbows shooting out of their asses and that any criticism of their authoritarianism is propaganda.

    The propaganda issue goes all ways.

      Thank you. There are some types like that, who overcorrect or take things too far. That Jank4life guy isn’t exactly the best representative of our instance with his low effort bait, and I have a lot of disagreements with Geneva_Convenience as well. But I have a lot of respect for Cowbee and Diva, for example.

      Personally, I would like it if there was a place on the fediverse that was for more formal, academic level discussions, where personal attacks and accusations were strictly moderated on all sides. I think that people act more defensive and rude when they expect the other side to, and it creates a vicious cycle, which can also lead to people adopting “maximalist” positions. I’ve thought about creating a comm like that myself, but I doubt people would actually participate or accept me as an impartial moderator.

        There is the changemyview sub but it didn’t really get the traction here that it had on reddit.
