    Why instantly back to reddit? There are many more alternatives.

    People these days be like: 1 sign of trouble: give up

      Because it’s a systematic problem. It’s not something that can be fixed somehow by better tech or something. So at best we will eventually get one central instance of Lemmy… which is essentially a worse version of Reddit with only Communists and Techy people.

        Beehaw admins literally said that they only defederated because existing mod tools weren’t fine-grained enough to address the issue otherwise. Mastodon already has those tools, and in fact went through a similar temporary defederation issue.

        So, yes, it can definitely be solved by better tech, and already has… just not on lemmy.

        In my opinion, getting one central instance of Lemmy would just turn it into reddit. Eventually some tyrant would get power over it and we would be right back to the problems reddit is currently facing. The federation is a feature that prevents all that shit because tyrants can only take down small portions of the network.

        Yes it adds some struggles, but you get what you fight for. Unless things change for reddit, it doesn’t look good. Most people will have more self respect to stick around and the content is going to suffer as a result.

        That all being said, if this is a deal breaker for you, I understand, but I request that you give others a chance to see if Lemmy is right for them.

        Oi, I’m moderate af and am only techy to people who don’t know the difference between a laptop and… the larger one!

        I do like a community that values a free, open and decentralised Internet, Reddit used to, but seems to have lost that.

        Man, you sure sound like you’re fun at parties…

        It’s a new age, lemmy is a new-ish platform.

        Reddit is owned by a company, heck, it IS a company. Lemmy on the other side is a federated network. No one really owns Lemmy. It’s like torrents in a way.

        It is something that can be fixed by simply developing mod tools. Lemmy as a whole is still in alpha, and the apps have a few bugs. These will be resolved over time.
