Isn’t a lot of Beehaws complaints the lack of moderation on other instances, not specifically their own?
If they’re struggling with managing their own content, they certainly shouldn’t have to worry about content from other instances. Any instance that hasn’t managed to sort out their own moderation should be defederated until they figure it out.
Every individual community inside each instance should have its own set of moderators or it should not exist.
Reposting is a long standing tradition on Reddit… I don’t see a reason that should change on Lemmy.
It’s not just a question about memes. If you see content on Reddit for your favorite topic or game, you should 100% replicate that data over to Lemmy.
If there’s a good duplication of content in both places, it makes it easier to move completely over to Lemmy.
There was a video about this posted a bit ago. The speaker said basicly this same thing. After the age of 7, the environment that your kid is placed into, and the other people they are around, has for more influence on them that the parents have.
You do your best for the first 7 years, and then you do your best to find the right environment for them for the rest of their lives.
Plus, overall reddit interaction has barely gone down. Daily visits went from 55 million to 52. That’s a drop in the bucket.
One thing I learned a long time ago is that internet people just don’t give a shit about doing what is right, only doing what is easy.
So yes, spreading news about Lemmy is more important than trying to take down reddit by not posting.
Obviously Reddit is going to retain strong control over the default subs. Personally I miss all the NSFW content on the frontpage, but when I saw all these subs making a statement with it, I knew immediately that it wouldn’t end well for them.
It was a good protest, but anyone surprised that Reddit removed those mods is naive.
Ha yes.
I may or may not have kids, but this video will stick in my mind forever. If I do, my focus will be on creating that community to surround my kids with people that they can look up to for good role models and hope for the best :D
