I like how you redefined what a "better person" is to mean more like "better company resource".

That's it, I'm opening a book instead of Lemmy.

I think this is pretty natural. After a while, only people who are ok with the complaints will buy it, and they will rate it as an ok game. Hence the scores go up.

Also i guess the developers try to make it better with time. Sounds like they focused on that for a full year.

It's a good show. Not amazing like some people say, but it's something you will probably enjoy.

I never thought about it again after finishing it though.

Compared to Google they are saints.

I had high hopes due to the defederated nature of the technology, but first thing that happened was that instances with different views started to defederate.. That wouldnt be so bad if not all content came from just one or two large instances, but since it does, the entire network is now depending on them to survive.

This is 100% caused by every website about Lemmy linking to Lemmy.world, so that's what users pick. It can be argued that there was very good intent behind this, giving users an instance with experienced admins to start their Lemmy adventures. But the downside of this is the very controlled, centralized nature of the Lemmy network now.

Yes, but since you had many forums, you could move to one with more relaxed admins. They had no dependency. On Lemmy, instances are connected and there is pressure to have the same moderation rules or you get defederated because your instance is now creating discussions that leads to reporting of users on other instances.

No not specifically that I think. Just tankie servers.

I absolutely want people to pick other solutions than reddit and zuckerfuck, but I'm not sure Lemmy is the solution either.

The large Instances already overdo the moderation, cracking down on specific words, or people not agreeing with gender issues or vaccination issues. Just a few examples.

And no, you can't just join another instance because the ones without similar moderation rules are defederated from Lemmy.world, which acts as the center hub of content. So in practice, any Lemmy experience without Lemmy.world is a poor one, filled with tankies and insane things. That's not what anyone intelligent wants.

I remember when we had forums, it was ok to be upset sometimes. It was fine to not agree. That's why the discussions were interesting. There was no downvotes. No popularity contests. No karma points (or ok, some forums actually had user levels based on how much they posted, but nobody cared I think).

If you want to build a proper discussion forum, it needs to allow for actual discussions and actual emotions, heated debates, insults sometimes.

At least that's the way I see it. Or you will just have memes and pointless things scrolling by.

Personally I think it's good. Students that don't respect the teacher shouldnt even be there. If it was up to me, I would send them home if they don't behave. But that's not something you can do as a teacher I guess.
