I’ve seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.

if I remember correctly they were:

  • smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
  • someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going “but you are from .world”) (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the “puching nazis” theme)
  • one more which I can’t remember.

Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?

          I miss myspace. But then I started thinking about it. If MySpace came back, 100% exactly as it was in 2006, I don’t think I could use it. Too many privacy concerns in the modern day.

          So I DO miss MySpace, but I guess I also miss the innocence of 2006’s lack of privacy concerns too.

          I hate to admit it, but I don’t. Even before it entered the purgatory it’s stuck in at the moment, there was a severe spam and bot problem in the largely abandoned local magazines.

          If it came back now, something would have to be done about that, and though I have been previously, I’m not up for volunteering to do it.

          The only real loss here is the (lack of) continued development of the Kbin software. Mbin might be a descendent, even the heir apparent, but it’s not the original.

      Same. Mastodon was nice to shit post to when Lemmy dried up.
