If you and others don’t like Threads to begin with then why would the “extinguish” part ever work? The people who are already here aren’t going to stop just because Threads federates and then later on unfederates.

It has nothing to do with health. It is literally impossible to use a system like reddit/lemmy over the long term and not get hit with rando-bans that come out of nowhere and are completely unavoidable.

I’m not talking about getting a legit ban where you break the rules of the sub. In that case it is pointless to do “ban evasion” because you will likely repeat the behavior that got you banned. I’m talking about when you get a completely unavoidable and random ban. You WILL get those if you use a system long term.

That doesn’t remove the toxic mod.

There is no way to remove toxic mods. That’s why you have to work around them.

How many alts and sock puppets do you think the average person should have? This doesn’t sound healthy

You only need one at a time. I use to spin up an entirely new reddit account whenever I got a ban on any sub. That’s what you can do on Lemmy.

I’m fine with people being offended as long as it is something legit to be offended about. Sometimes people are offended by legit things and sometimes not. That’s why “woke” is to vague to be meaningful. I have to hear the specific thing to know whether I agree/disagree.

all communities with the same name from different instances to show up in a mixed feed.

That’s what usenet does.

What’s your point? Ban “evasion” is a feature of fediverse, not a bug. In the fediverse, you are immune from rando-bans.

Anybody who really does deserve to be banned, will repeat the behaviour that got them banned. So for those people there is no point with ban “evasion”.

Well if that’s the definition that doesn’t sound so bad. You’re saying that you don’t like being reminded of the truth too often.

The problem with ‘woke’ is that it is too vague to be meaningful.

there is nothing you can do about it

You can just post from a different lemmy instance.

What does ‘woke’ mean?

Mods can’t ban you from their fediverse community. You could just post from another site. It is why fediverse is superior to reddit.

Julian Assange is a bootlicker and Kremlin stooge who sold us out to the American and Russian billionaires. The Mueller Report proved he was explicitly trying to get Treason Trump elected and working with Putin to push disinformation to that end.

Curious, coming from a LW account

Why are you curious. On a decentralized platform, It matters where you post TO, not where you post FROM. Anybody can easily switch to posting from another platform.

Thanks for the list!

I’ve heard bad things about hexbear and beehaw. But I looked at these other two.

!politics@sh.itjust.works – unfortunately too many dumb restrictions.

Rule: Title must match the article headline <-- definitely a deal killer because often journalists use dumb headlines or leave the most important things out of the headline.

Rule Recent (Past 30 Days) <-- also a deal killer. Relevant is more important the recent. They are not the same things. “Recent” is only an imperfect proxy for “relevant”.

usa@midwest.social – We have a winner!

Rule: Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech. <-- perfect

I would also welcome suggestions for “news” groups outside of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. usnews@lemy.lol is okay so far but I’m always looking for possible alternatives.

It doesn’t matter where your account is. If someone kills your account you can quickly switch to another lemmy instance and resub to all your communities.

I have had content nuked first from news@lemmy.world and then from politics@lemmy.world and as a result I rarely use them to submit content. I specifically went to politics@lemmy.ml because politics@lemmy.world was censoring my content.

Or are you just saying its too big?

It’s too big. And it has dumb restrictions like no video content. But also, I had a very popular posting just completely nuked by the mod of politics@lemmy.world and the entire advanced discussion was suddenly lost, forcing me to recreate the discussion on politics@lemmy.ml. Ever since I’ve been posting content to lemmy.ml instead of lemmy.world. Mainly important things missing from politics@lemmy.world or that they took down.

But aside from all that, we absolutely need redundancy on lemmy for major stuff like news and politics. Mods will abuse their power because they all want to “control the experience” instead of just do the basics. I’ve also had content nuked for no reason on news@lemmy.world also and as a result I mostly use usnews@lemy.lol instead although I’m open for alternate news site suggestions too.

You just make an announcement on the community, or on !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you are splitting from a power tripping mod.

How does this work? Are you just talking about starting a new group on the same server?

We need large “sibling” instances rather than monoliths like .world, which is to say nothing of the politics of the instance.

Absolutely 1000%

This also highlights the destructiveness of toxic moderation. There is plenty of it here too

I can’t believe that lemmy mods/admins still think they have the luxury of making bone headed moves in a decentralized network. I am determined to get around this and it is the entire reason I am on a decentralized system. We vote with our feet and in the long term it will all work out. I am looking for suggestions for a politics group that is not lemmy.world and not lemmy.ml.

Geez even with decentralization we still have people making bone headed decisions. What is the best/strongest politics group that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world?

Geez I can’t believe a major group was nuked just like that. I never noticed anything about it being unmoderated but thank you for providing the explanation.
