the level of users is hopefully permanent, but the lack of moderation to adequately deal with it, both from beehaw and lemmy.world, is not

its also a cultural problem, at the moment the culture of the fediverse is still settling and folks are poking and prodding and seeing how much they can get away with

the guy famous for his non-profit organisation* asking for donations and losing money on his projects is an extremely weird thing to have an issue with

any english speaking social media site is going to have a heavy US focus

theyve got about 5 times the population of the next biggest english speaking country, its pretty unavoidable

i honestly do not care about having the option to pay for things

i consider the quality of a platform as if monetised features dont exist, and discord is still a pretty solid platform besides them

if they start monetising existing features, sure, that effectively removes features, but until then getting mad at things that simply do not affect me is silly

this is already a feature, go to 'instances' at the bottom of your page

more often than not, authoritarian leadership coincides with a strong chokehold on local media and strong dismissal or even attempts to completely bar entry of foreign media

think the great firewall, or local newsstation, being subsidiaries of fox, reading the exact same statements from a script across the USA

the issue with this view is that it assumes the toxicity is 1. active, targeted trolling and 2. something that the people in question are willing to put significant effort into

the majority of the time toxicity doesnt flow in due to any active effort to be toxic, "brigading" is in reality usually just folks flowing in from /all/

that was probably commies rather than the alt right

they also have a tendency to call folks race traitors and deny genocides

something something horseshoe

oh wow, didnt notice that the community header is there too, thanks a bunch

the only breeds of cats are siamese, maine coon and standard issue

why not just use forums for questions

@subignition im using the mobile site yeah, but its good to know that the issue is circumvented on desktop

thats pretty unfair, theres no reason to think that they intend on cutting themselves off from the fednet entirely

according to them this is a temporary measure until they have better tools for moderation, more mods or until things have calmed down a bit, I dont see any reason to question that

i dont see why that is such an issue, defederating beehaw seems punitive and petty

so you agree

they could, but in practice it would never amount to the level of trolling and toxicity they are receiving from .world and justworks

folks are taking this too seriously imo
