That’s why a swath of us left Reddit in the first place, isn’t it? If not, one of the large reasons as to why we left it. To come here in hopes we’d have escaped some of the power-tripping that was going completely haywire over there with the constant bannings and post-removal that borderlines censoring and cancelling.
Now it has apparently been replicated here, where I am seeing the same things happen and I’m not seeing the difference between the two platforms. The karma farmers, the gas-lighters and more, it’s all here.
We escaped Reddit so we can not be like Reddit, not escape Reddit so we can try being like Reddit.
I think the Fediverse has largely lost the script and the plot entirely. If you want a more better experience on the Fediverse, stop installing crybaby over-sensitive mods.
You don’t have to just talk to yourself. Part of federating means that you will be able to communicate with other instances, at least until they decide to power-trip and defederate from your instance.
Still, you would have another instance that is run the way you think it should. This means other people who share your philosophy will have another place to go.
It won’t happen overnight, but you can do your part to build the fediverse you want to see.
