By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Reddit protests and blackouts but what exactly is going on with Reddit? Why are people protesting and why did the pro...
A video about the effectiveness of the Reddit protest
It’s a matter of education and how they understand the situation I suppose. I was a Reddit refugee moving over from the official app because the news really showed how anti consumer the company was being. It’s not much of a protest, but I only go on Reddit now if I really need certain information, so I don’t think it’s a total failure.
Bots and trolls will probably follow as Lemmy grows and gains traction, but I hope by that time moderation will have improved and will be able to scale to handle that.
I keep seeing people say this, but do you think it’s bad now? To me, it seems adequate. The modlogs are open here, so you can see for yourself. Additionally, we have the ability to block a community built in, and that ability doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. When all else fails, an instance can defederate from another instance that refuses to vet users or that allows abusive content. The only thing that seems like a step backwards from reddit is privacy. To me, the moderation seems good.
