No, it’s not how a platform should be run and I will continue pushing for better solutions and then using them.

The design is inherently limiting and stupid. You will just end up in the exact same situation as Reddit where a large percent of the discussion can be blocked at the will of some moron.

Huh, why? Because of shit management?

Anyone who disagrees with their narratives is banned in hexbear. Ml was the default for a while so loads of people on there who have no idea what a tankie even is.

Hence weighted by reputation.

Idk. Ban from communities after negative karma threshold with an automatic vote weighted by users subreddit karma to appeal? Just the first thing that popped to mind though sure there’s better ways. Matrix was working towards something iirc last i checked.

As it stands you can get blocked for life from a significant portion of lemmy for saying Trump is worse than Kamala would’ve been.

I wouldn’t use any of those other features. I just browse by top all 1/6/12 hr (which piefed lacks) and the theme isn’t great either.

How does it offer either of those things? I see an ‘attitude %’ on hover, and it says it has ‘strong moderation tools’. But I mean 100% community run. Subscribers have to vote on bans or something. And proof of personhood verification tests.

Yeah there was still problems with the admins. But 95% of the problems people encountered day-to-day and what killed discussion and the vibe was virgin subreddit mods.

Doesn’t really work once spaces are established. Most of reddits problems aren’t the admins, it’s the volunteer subreddit mods which function just the same as lemmy.

Yes we’re missing two things

• Anonymous ID / Reputation system to tell it’s a human
• Community-run moderation. So some chronically online sadsack can’t ban you from a significant portion of lemmy for life because you disagreed with them.
