To the people who say they don't run into jerks here or they don't understand when people say it's worse than reddit... what rose colored glasses are you wearing? Huge swaths of lemmy are little better than 4chan.
"Oh, you just have to curate your communities."
Stop. Take your superior than thou attitude and just stop. You are part of the problem.
Why is curating your communities a bad recommendation? I understand that there could be more admin tooling and such, but why is looking out for your interests a "Holier than thou" attitude?
"I went to India and I was sexually assaulted on a bus." "THATS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT GOING TO THE 'GOOD' PARTS."
No. Fuck you. India has a rampant sexual assault problem.
Lemmy has rampant problems. To ignore them and say it's the visitors fault is such a fucking asshole position to take. If the first time you came to lemmy was when csam was being spammed and you were subjected to it... it 100% isn't your fault. If you make a comment on something that interests you from All and you don't see which community it is in and you get spammed with slurs and attacks for having a different opinion... it's not your fault.
"You don't know how to curate your experience. You aren't very good at it. You must have issues."
That's what people are saying. They hide behind the bullshit example you gave "what's wrong with selecting your interests." No. Fuck you.
I was asking a genuine question. I wasn't saying you were wrong. I even said there should be more admin tooling to help moderate this sort of thing. I just was wondering why suggesting that you can curate is a bad thing. Because giving power to the people who find things they dislike, sounds good to me. Sure you shouldn't poise it as it was in the original comment in the thread, but still, curating is something you can use to make your time here more enjoyable.
