  • In any given public space, the pendulum swings endlessly. Or is it just a wrecking ball? Can’t tell.
    Anyway, nothing lasts forever. More so for human relationships else the divorce rate wouldn’t be as high as it is.
    As products of knowledge and emotions ranging from zero to Infinity, the variety will always divide one from the other at some point. Even twins can grow to dislike each other, let alone complete strangers.
    So asking for uniformity is a lost cause from the start. Civility is enforceable up to a point. And chaos is unreasonably violent.

    The obvious solution is compromise. Some like to give and take in turns, others to merge opinions into something that all sides agree to or something no one wants. Yet nothing is guaranteed to work because we simply aren’t built that way.

    Individuals will individualize, eventually. Willingly or not.



  • From their point of view, only you think there’s something to be solved.
    A major point of federization is not having to deal with the undesirable rabble. To have your own little slice of the internet where everybody gets along.

    You don’t get along, so you don’t belong. Instead, you are very welcome to find or make an instance where you do belong and can engage in conversations freely.

    Lemmy’s solution is to make the problem go away, which is why in its eyes, there is nothing to solve.


  • Lemmy isn’t a place for debates and arguments. If you don’t follow the direction of the topic, don’t bother inserting yourself into the conversation.
    You need to be nice and supportive of whatever is posted, else you’re going to have a bad time.

    Read their code of conduct and you’ll find that it’s a moderator’s discretion to ban anyone they believe is disruptive, regardless of the rules.
    So unless a moderator goes on a deranged banning binge, you’re automatically in the wrong.
    If you can’t accept that, i suggest you make your own instance, with blackjack and hookers.
