People don’t want help, they want you to fix it.

They’re then not grateful you fixed it, they’re annoyed with you because it broke in the first place.

It’s a great job 👍

Downvoting a post ain’t brigading 😂

Is there not an option in Lemmy to make a community private, or exclude it from /all?

That sounds like what you need if you can’t handle general users disagreeing with you.

It truly is disassociated rambling.

There’s no single thought process, it’s just a collage of random comments.

Banning people for downvoting posts is the most sensitive thing I’ve actually seen on the internet first hand.

And yet they probably still think people dislike them just because they’re vegan 🤷‍♂️

It’s just a reckless way to live and is frankly plunging our entire society into unabated chaos

Uhh, what kinda dispute causes an entire staff to quit??

Can’t see any reason mentioned in the article other than a disagreement with the owner.

Just seems crazy that they’ve let such a successful team walk away, when it sounds like the team were willing to find a way forward…

There’s a video you can watch if that helps.

It was actually a normal, endearing interaction, but people gotta be outraged anyway 🤷‍♂️

It’s an email account, not social media so I think this is a ridiculous take. It’s inherently private and only shared with people you explicitly send it to, such as family.

For all you know they may not turn out to keep being your daughter forever. It’s kind of a gross overstepping of parental boundaries

Such a shoehorned, irrelevant point that won’t apply to 99% of the population. This sounds like a you problem that you’re projecting onto others, and it’s honestly rude to say that it’s a gross overstepping of parental boundaries.

It ain’t string either

I just don't get how Lemmy is going to act as a proper replacement for Reddit.

I understand the basic concept of Lemmy and the Fediverse, and people are touting the concept of it being federated and not centrally controlled, but it is an absolute mess and nobody seems to have an idea about what to do with it.

How are communities going to grow if there isn't at least some form of central management. Other than there being an underlying framework that connects the servers, they're all just doing what they want.

Outside of the underlying framework, there's no 'guidelines' or consistency. The servers have random names, and the main Lemmy.ml is telling people to register elsewhere.

How is this going to bring in a wider audience if people are being directed to lemmy.fmhy.ml, sopuli.xyz, or sh.itjust.works?

What is the purpose of the Fediverse when forums for niche interests already exist on the internet?

Does it make sense to have something like a 'sports' server that has communities for soccer, NFL, basketball, MMA? But then how do you get a consistent naming scheme that lets people know it's part of the fediverse?

Maybe Lemmy could work as a replacement, but it seems like it needs a 'flagship' server with a group of people maintaining it to set an example. Then other servers that cover more specific areas, such as sports, can be set up and potentially work closely with that flagship group.

If this doesn't happen, then I can't see how this doesn't just fizzle out.

P.S. I've also compared two different Lemmy servers and looked at the same post in a community, and there are different numbers of comments on each where they haven't synced up...

I also wanted to post this to the main Lemmy community, but as I had to register via a different server, I'm not able to access that community from the server I'm using for some reason...
