Ok that’s fair enough, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree and end it at that.

For the record I apologize if I came off as too harsh to their claims. I should’ve been more understanding. I’m very used to people making false claims, especially ones of a severe nature, and when I saw they were making a claim and presenting evidence that wasn’t supporting those claims I thought it was one of those. I apologize if there was a misunderstanding.

I don’t think so. It’s pretty toxic to accuse a person of bigotry when they aren’t posting things that are bigoted, and actually have and enforce rules in their community against bigotry. All simply because of a content genre they dislike.

I don’t like the format and I agree that there’s reasons to be skeptical but I don’t think it’s okay to outright accuse a person of being bigoted when they have not been bigoted. If they had shown evidence of the person being bigoted, rather than their evidence being a guilt by association, that would be different but I haven’t seen such evidence and it seems like their community is largely hostile to bigotry.

Sounds to me more like you personally dislike a thing and are trying to push it off as being bigoted because you don’t like it. Listen I don’t like the Greentext communities either, I think their jokes are more on the stupid side, but what they aren’t is bigoted, at least I haven’t been able to find any examples looking through those communities.

If you don’t like them that is okay, but you shouldn’t spread lies about people or places just because you personally don’t like them.

So you’re upset they allow a Greentext community? That doesn’t seem like a good reason considering lemmy.ml has one and posts in that one are of similar standards and qualities.

I did read through those posts and they themselves seem benign. Especially compared to other communities like conservative which contain legitimately hateful shit.

I think a big part of it is just that many want control, they want to limit what we’re capable of doing. They especially don’t want us doing things that go against them and their will as companies. Which is why they try to block us from doing those things they dislike so much, like generating porn, or discussing violent content.

I noticed that certain prompts people used for the purpose of AI poisoning are now marked as against the terms of service on ChatGPT so the whole “control” thing doesn’t seem so crazy.

Late reply, I’m looking and I don’t see it. It seems their admins are doing a lot to squash a lot of that bullshit. Compare that to lemm.ee where they allow [email protected] to run unimpeded and only ban users and posts after I call them out here. Seems my home server is much worse than that one…

I do not see the problem necessarily with promoting OF etc as sex workers do have to make money and that is their job, however the less savory people who are attracted by the types of porn I listed above do often have problematic views, so agree with you there.

It would be no different than allowing people to post ads here on Lemmy for Pepsi, Liberty Mutual, and HeGetsUs. If someone made ad accounts to post that shit you’d ban them as an admin, why is OF spam any different to you?

I agree, cloudflare is evil and antithetical to the idea of Fediverse. #BlockCloudflare

I just did a few hours ago.

You’re free to have your own opinion, I was a reactive angry person. I’m not denying responsibility for what I did back then.

Some shit I made up from a long ass time ago. I got over it and don’t rlly care anymore.

How do I do it in a way that Admins will actually see the reports? Active community mods seem to dismiss reports so they aren’t seen and there isn’t exactly a way to report it so only admins can see them.

I second that one, lemmynsfw is something else entirely. Not just that it’s porn but porn instances attract less savory people, especially bots and OF promoters (which are almost the same thing) so probably would be a good idea to axe them for instance health.

We don’t want to cut off our community from folks on these instances but if they’re causing a lot of trouble- we can certainly consider it

If that’s the case and there is a desire to have community reach maybe older defederations should be re-evaluated. But I wasn’t under the impression that it mattered much compared to safety of minority users and security of the instance.

I mean lemm.ee literally hosts a conservative community, which on occasion features borderline transphobia and homophobia. Right-wing stuff ya know. discuss.online has wide open sign-ups and has regularly had spammers, trolls, and assholes come and go. They are a liability. As far as I can tell Lemmy hasn’t gotten substantially better moderation tools since those last two big defederations, so the issues with these servers and servers like them are still valid and apparent.

Probably, I crossposted there as well.

lemm.ee has [email protected] a community which is allowed to thrive by the main admin of this server. Along with all their users. Does this really seem like a good idea guys?
