It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

Platforms are fun in the beginning because everybody has a voice. This nurtures a lot of creativity and energy. However, as ad revenue starts to flow, advertisers demand that the platform banish fringe opinions and undesirable voices (the magic keyword is brand safety). As a result moderation ramps up, and kills the creativity and energy that made it fun and interesting.
This is why Lemmy works (for now).
So we got 10 years for the cycle to repeat if lucky?
I’m fine with that lol
Might even have an elder Scrolls by then
It could be different since it’s decentralized
Banning fascists is always a good thing however and fringe elements that promote fascists. You cannot tolerate the intolerable.
Who decides if someone is a fascist or not? That person will have a lot of power in theirs hands, and sooner or later they will abuse it.
The collective community has the power to defederate or move to another instance if you disagree with the rules in place
You mean like how Elon Musk owns Twitter now?
