I won’t be using this account anymore as I do not believe the administration of my instance is operating in good faith.

Was wild logging in this morning to see it and thinking “yep this is going to be a hit” and coming back to see the highest voted Lemmy post ever
The plus side is that it’s open source, so we could look into having some way to collapse crossposts in view so that you eg. see a single link with a “see other conversations about this” button.
yes, it is so small I can’t read it, you’re right
There’s no way to prevent it entirely. A larger community will slide that way.
I do think that it can be less encouraged though.
I don’t really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I’d go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.
If I didn’t have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I’d either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we’d never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.
In the three or so days I’ve been using it it’s expanded noticeably, and I’d say it’s on the verge of being big enough already. Once it rounds that tipping point it has a decent chance of becoming sustainable on its own.
Sounds like Steve is a good candidate to colonize Venus.
I’d suggest that beehaw’s concerns could be met with a tool that lets you disable posting or voting from off-instance users unless they meet threshold criteria, whether it be account age or post history or manual approval. That would allow you to keep your content interaction controlled without the nuclear option of complete removal.
It’s fun that you guys appear to think this is a 2023 problem tho :)
That sounds like one of those things where you forget about it, then years later realize how fucked up it was.
I’m still sorting that out, thus far I have just assumed that there will be cat videos. It’s basically one of the safest assumptions of the internet.
I’ve only been here for about an hour, but I’ve found two different patientgamers instances… jury’s still out on which one I like better.
I’m sure there will be a huge downtick, but there’s also people like me who heard about Lemmy because of Reddit but this is totally something I’d support. Now that I know it’s here, I have a source for my cat videos and obscure video game recommendations, I don’t really need the activity and tumult of Reddit. I’m sure there are dozens like me. Dozens.
To heck with you for your stupid opinion, everyone is obviously always positive here
