Fediverse: extremely USA-centric, extremely left and queer. Dissent is punished as hard as posting Winnie Pooh on TikTok.
But it's not usually the people running the platform doing that. You can also find instances that go full on 4chan style freeze peach and only delete explicitly illegal stuff, but most of those are probably defederated from the big instances by now.
Downvotes hurt, I get it. But remember, it's only an attempt to remind you you're an asshole. It's up to you whether you believe them or not.
How does that work here anyway? Is there a FAQ or something to explain? Do downvoted comments get hidden or pushed down?
Not as far as I can tell. It's really just an indicator "some people thought your comment was dogshit". Whether you take it seriously is up to you.
Meh, you're just building an echo chamber. Everyone around is of the same opinion, everything against is downvoted to hell, sometimes bans are handed out.
And you are starting to believe you're normal and you're keeping your space clean of all the "assholes". But instead you're just way too far up your own ass most of the time.
Your downvotes don't hurt. It's just sad that this ambitious project that could've easily replaced reddit, turned into a circle-jerk. The content and opinion-diversity on everything that's reachable from my current instance is approximately /r/antiwork. I could just go back and spend all my days browsing that one sub without any loss. But such pompous name "fediverse".
You got nothing folks. Every community is about USA only and all the top posts are "trump bad", "capitalism bad." Like nothing else exists. You sabotaged yourselves. There's no fediverse. There are 20-40k people chanting together "fuck trump, fuck musk, fuck capitalism". On every instance, in every thread, on every topic.
And you know what, I agree with all three. But even to me you look pathetic. And as my multiple tests confirm, you do not accept any disagreement, and you cannot brin any rational argument to the table, you can only echo.
Almost every other Reddit alternative has been taken over by nazis. You've got plenty of space dude. Just fuck off. I'm sure there's even a fascist lemmy instance you can find instead of here whining because you can't spread hate. Shit, just go join X.
exploding heads once existed, but they have such low users that just shut down lmfao
Imagine wanting to exist without automatic persecution and being told you are "extremely left"
Lmfao eat shit bitch ♥️
Centrists are nazis these days 😅
