Lemmy Users are...
(slrpnk.net)
There was a post on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world called "Lemmy is losing the war against reddit. How do we change things?" Looks like it was removed but there were a couple good discussions there. In a discussion with (I think it was) @hendrik@palaver.p3x.de we came up with this.
You might be missing it because you may be avoiding the more toxic instances like hexbear. They had a little schism a couple weeks ago when they attempted to tamp down on sexism and racism by handing out temporary bans. However, there was a big backlash because a lot of their more active posters caught bans and messed up user engagement .
The mods ended up getting accused of trying to slow down the "revolution".
Yeah, okay, I def do avoid hexbear, so I can see how I'd miss their contributions to this all.
I knew the instance was full of tankies, but thats interesting to hear that they have (had?) a sexism problem. Just to be clear, it was the "stereotypical" sexism (that is: men hating on women; not hate towards men and/or the LGBT population), right?
It was the more stereotypical sexism for the most part.
oooh someone should write this up for !fediverselore@lemmy.ca ...
