Yeah, not so nice for just downvoting a post of his though. Fediverse is better off without that kind of toxic behaviour.

Why would you downvote that post though?

[-] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The post was fine, the premise is wrong about the fediverse. That's why I downvoted and didn't interact further.

What did you interpret the premise to be? I read the post when it was up, and it read to me like OP was saying essentially that too many toxic users and not enough admins willing to stand up to them make the overall experience not fun.

EDIT: Which is accurate in my mind at least when it comes to Lemmy

This fediverse experiment was a failure.

The whole notion that the fediverse is a failure. Ptz is entitled to his opinion, but he couldn't be serious that everyone would hold that inflammatory opinion as well. I still stand by my opinion that the fediverse is better off without toxic admins like this.

He said "this" experiment, not "the fediverse" which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).

That said, I'm honestly curious what do you care about his "toxicty" if he's not an admin of your instance? You don't seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?

Better phrasing would be "this experiment within the fediverse". His phrasing still comes across as the fediverse (as an experiment) being a failure to me. I've not seen fediverse used as an adjective before.

It's the same reason I'm not on .ml and your instance (I saw how they ran things over on reddit) and try to limit interactions on the instances that are notorious for their heavy handed moderation. He can do whatever he wants, but so can I within the limits of the sh.itjust.works instance or even spinning up my own. That's the reason I think he got butthurt. He got called out for how he ran things in front of the fediverse, didn't like it, got mad, took his ball and went home and likely banned me and 5 other guys for his bad phrasing at best or his opinion at worst. He's free to do that and I believe that the fedivdrse is better for it.

Eh, I think you're projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got "butthurt" because he didn't want to play with you.

It's no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn't think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.
