Thank fuck! I am so fucking tired of reading posts written by people marginally to the left of thatcher complaining about all the ‘commies’ (read people who think we should improve society somewhat, for reference I am a breed of commie and we are massively outnumbered here).
Not to mention the horrid driveby antivegan downvote storm with 0 useful contributions because it challenges their fragile conception of masculinity.
I support this decision. Really sick of seeing so much pro-American anti-left content from that instance.
Yeah I understand the frustration completely. It’s really disheartening to have your content attacked just because of right wing antivegan morons. I barely ever posted here until recently and even then my comments would just get downvoted for seemingly no reason, these people really need to get a life.
A big part of this I suspect is the amount of people browsing the All feed. AFAICT it’s quite high. And it has some deleterious effects on the organisation of the federated ecosystem because a whole bunch of people start interacting with content from communities that they don’t subscribe to likely aren’t interested in and don’t even align with at all.
But, because the content appears in their feed, they feel as entitled as anyone to vote and comment, even if their distance from the community makes their contribution tantamount to trolling.
Overall, along some other absent features, it’s dissolving lemmy’s ability to foster communities.
Fortunately, local only communities are in lemmy now with private (but federated) communities coming soon (apparently). This will allow communities to stay off of the All feed and federate only to people committed to them.
I browse All and was generally happy discovering new cool communities this way, and keeping with the news in the fediverse (like with this post!). They don’t always align with my views and I think it’s great to see outside of my bubble and not get stuck in an echo chamber.
Vegan home cooks?! First time I’m learning of your existence, I’m not really interested in food in general, but sounds cool and will check it out, maybe get some dinner inspiration.
Smart move. Mercifully, I have never had to deal with the nonsense over there.
Although I never post here, I browse your content from time-to-time and you’re good folks. I appreciate your candid approach to cooking show-and-tell. Not every meal needs to be a YouTube thumbnail—a tasty bowl of slop is still tasty!
I already blocked that whole instance. Every post from there was getting annoying. It was all shit you’d see on Reddit constant barrage of American politics.
Good move love you
