I dont really care what people post, as long as its on a free and decentralized network. And as long as bad posts are in their respective community (as is the case here) its fine with me.
Lemmy is not about “good posts” its about removing central authority.
You’re right in that there’s no central “authority”, but lemmy has become very centralised with all the content on a few big instances in fiefdoms controlled by a few mods who seem to be weirdos with too much time on their hands.
I guess the benefit is, if an instance or a mod does something really egregious there’s the potential to just move to another instance.
I think we need another few iterations of exodus from other platforms because of whatever shitstorm for lemmy to develop its own vibrance.
Secondly, I suspect I’ve touched a nerve. Are you the fieflord of some Alexandrian repository of enlightened content and discord? Do you find it fulfilling?
This is precisely why I am in favor of defederating from the shit instances, .ml in particular. Because it transfers demand for popular communities away from those instances and ostensibly helps grow alternatives.
Because it didn’t make people laugh. It’s cringe. In humor and presentation. It’s like six attempts in crappy cropping and a reach at that from a dead horse that was old even on Reddit.
What are you even talking about? Do you think people upvoted because they disliked it? Were all the upvotes from bots? Otherwise I think lots of people thought it was funny. What evidence is there to the contrary beyond a handful of complaints?
So we are just Facebook now?

I’ve been thinking about this lately.

It already happened for the star trek instance.
Well, then create new communities if that’s what you want to see here. What’s stopping you?
Because modding online communities is a huge waste of time for anyone who isn’t desperate for validation.
Ah, so you just want to complain about everything and not do anything yourself. Gotcha.
Hah.
Firstly, I wasn’t complaining.
Secondly, I suspect I’ve touched a nerve. Are you the fieflord of some Alexandrian repository of enlightened content and discord? Do you find it fulfilling?
Yes to whatever you’re talking about, I guess

I DO NOT CONSENT FOR LEMMY, INC OR ITS ASSOCIATED HOLDINGS TO TOUCH MY PEEPEE
warsocial media never changesWhy, did you see this on Facebook? I haven’t been there in over two years, so idk
It has been for a while, as soon as the censored word posts from grandma started showing up. It’s pretty damn uncomfortable
If Facebook posts make people laugh, and this one did, what’s the problem?
Also, this is clearly not a real Facebook post, it’s an obvious joke.
Because it didn’t make people laugh. It’s cringe. In humor and presentation. It’s like six attempts in crappy cropping and a reach at that from a dead horse that was old even on Reddit.
But yea. Nothing is wrong with it.
It clearly does make people laugh. Lots of people, including me. Hence all the over 700 upvotes when I am posting this response.
It’s a bit silly to think your sense of humor matches everyone else’s in a post that is clearly one lots of people enjoyed.
Oh you have fake Internet points? That makes me so wrong. Cool. Fucking moron.
What are you even talking about? Do you think people upvoted because they disliked it? Were all the upvotes from bots? Otherwise I think lots of people thought it was funny. What evidence is there to the contrary beyond a handful of complaints?
You might be way too cool for this school. With all that edge I’m surprised you haven’t jumped off it yet.
Thanks for noticing
Oh sorry, didn’t know you have complete knowledge over the entire worlds sense of humor and your sense of humor is the only type that exists.
Thanks for being aware of your flaws
