MODERATORS
Dang and I just made this account too. Time to find a new instance... Any recommendations? How is lemmy.today?
This whole process has looked sus to me. And on top of that, I don't think voting by up/downvoting the post itself is a good way to call votes
it means a minority can pass a rule without it being even seen by the majority (not sure that matters in this case). Voting should be done in a top-level comment.
sh.itjust.works
or go to piefed
The vote was literally pinned instance-wide for a week and it passed with an overwhelming absolute majority, with a majority of comments (of various active and established users) calling for a defed instead of just community bans
I don't see a reason why you should. It's not like the vote didn't happen for good reason. There's no good reason to speak to genocide apologists.
Uh oh, if .ml is defending them db0 really is a lost cause.
Edit: Holy tankie brigade, Batman! They've really crawled out of the woodwork for this one!
.world user here, I am defending them. Are they a lost cause because they don't support mass murder or are they are lost cause because they support international justice?
Congratulations, you just earned yourself the "🤡" user tag!
I'm actually a Hexbear user. This is my alt.
People are going to assume this is a joke, lmao.
Yeah to clarify, I wasn't joking. Hexbear is my main instance.
I am not an ml user and I still defend db0. Now what?
"If ml says genocide is bad, then I support genocide!"
Literally reactionary.
Its this kind of bad-faith accusative argument that I hate most, from wherever it comes.
I don't see how it's bad faith to call an instance that has taken a stance in favor of a genocide "genocide apologist. They are doing genocide apologia. If you aren't a genocide apologist, you should leave the genocide apologist instance, same as leaving the nazi bar if you aren't a nazi.
I have not seen evidence that the plurality of that instance is in favor of genocide. Im open to evidence. and ofc maybe I'm just not observant enough. But i have not noticed the majority in favor.
You can come to feddit.org, we have mostly normal people instead of armchair internet warriors lol
True! discuss.tchncs.de is also pretty nice. We have a few more communities that feddit has defederated (for good reason, though, not everyone wants pr0n in their main feed :D).
Why do you think that?
I think I wasnt thinking clearly. sticked posts it doesn't matter what the up/downvote ratio is, its still gets pushed to all. COrrect?
Yes
People might not see the stickied post, for whatever reason. I'm mostly on X hours top, which hides the thread if older than X hours. Or someone could just not use Lemmy for a week. There is no notification or similar, no email alert.
I would argue that this would be the minority of users, not the majority.
Are there stats for how much voting eligible users there are, and how much of them actually vote on governance topics, or see (click on) governance topics?
No
Seeing your political inclinations you may wanna check out nazis.love, zionism.supporters, and netanyahu.net
You people are worse than reddit
Did you not read the rules for joining DB0 before you joined. They clearly state a full anti-zionist stance right there.
eyeroll yes. Do you think I support zionism?
