Honestly, mods are the biggest problem and reddit and they have been for a long time. Huge communities are inconsistently moderated and there is no sense of fairness. Driving powermods of the platform is probably a good thing.

Maybe that says more about the communities you choose to interact with than lemmy. I notice every link you posted is from kbin, and not lemmy - i've never even been to a kbin server myself.

This looks like a really large scale attack. Not just US Govt but also large corporations. And apparently also including NATO countries.

Senior government officials are racing to limit the impact of what's believed to be a global cyberattack affecting U.S. federal agencies and allies, including NATO member countries.

One cybersecurity expert characterized the breach as one of the largest theft and extortion events in recent history. Victims include Johns Hopkins University, the University of Georgia, the BBC and British Airways.

The problem with allowing spaces for fascists to exist online is when they start existing in offline groups too. If discussion was the biggest risk then there would be no harm in letting them participate.

Look man, honestly, I don't want to talk to you at this stage. You started all of this because for some reason you got personally offended at my use of the word gaslighted. I felt gaslighted. I still do now, whether you like it or not. And, the thing is, every time you tell me I'm not allowed to feel gaslighted, you're doing it more. You're like the paradoxical cretin; despite all your misdirections some truth leaks through nonetheless.

At this stage, you're making me consider whether I want to use fed at all. I left reddit to get away from people like u. Peace.

ive been in the same threads and I have seen none of what you’re talking about, even looked through your history

the bees aint making you question reality

you just have to deal with it as the nature of this specific platform. it may suck but thats life.

While I'm quoting, you also asked about threads where people have been saying those things I mentioned before.

He either didn’t or is intentionally ignoring the points they made and his aggressive responses here are just riling people up even more instead of focusing us on the actual problem or solutions. People are literally calling beehaw admins “vile” and “despicable” just because they are trying to handle this unexpected and possibly undesired huge influx of people, when their community existed before any of these newcomers arrived (myself included) and their primary concern should be preserving their community and ethos.

This is specifically the type of behavior that beehaw’s rules aim to prevent, which is why they are more heavily moderated and why they had to defederate lemmyworld in the first place. The fact that OP is unable to understand this and is instead trying to start a lynch mob just makes me think that a temporary defederation was absolutely the right call to make for them.

That's fine. You don't have to agree. I would appreciate some respect though. I have told you multiple times this is a bit upsetting for me and you continually argue with me about it and tell me my feelings are not up to your standard.

Honestly, not really. if you respected my feelings you wouldn't continually try to invalidate them, even if you do think you are right. That's emotional manipulation and gaslighting.

" have people said you couldnt be upset about it?"

Yes, lots of people are downplaying our concerns and casting accusations at the instance. one thing that annoys me is how many people are classifying lemmy.world as unfriendly or full of trolls. That upsets me because everyone here has been very kind and friendly to me except for the people talking about how unkind and unfriendly we are. This is a reputation that is extremely damaging as it drives away positive users and attracts trolls to our server. Things like this should not be done lightly and I have actually gained a bit of ill will towards bee over these selfish actions that harm Fediverse as a whole.

People are literally coming here and accusing us of "starting a lynch mob" in this very post. Simply because the guy said this was a dumb decision. Sayin we are "aggressive" for criticising this post. Accusing us of brigading and harassing the beehaw hosts. They even said that we are undesirable. And that's just one example, there are multiple people here doing it.

All of these things were caused by beehaw and their inability to mod their instance. How is that my fault? And why am I not allowed to be upset by this?

no one said youre not allowed to be upset

That's what you said. That just isn't true. A few people have said things to me that made me feel that way. You denying my right to feel this way is gaslighting. You don't get to control how other people are impacted by actions or comments.

With all due respect, I have better things to do than argue about it. I feel gaslighted. You can keep gaslighting me about it if you want, but I think i'm finished here.
