  • Ah well, fair enough. Then I hope it will turn out to be the right one to be worth having the swamp ass.
    I guess there’s not really much solid advise for it. Lose some weight if you’re obese, make sure to eat healthy and check if you have any sort of conditions, specifically the heart, that could affect your cardio. Of course, do what you can in regards to climate change, but I think Korea is just like that anyway, and our course on that matter is looking pretty grim anyway.






  • Bullshit moderation.
    Reddit was so full of hateful shit. Reddit’s AEO (Anti Evil Operations, basically the admins personal “mod team”, probably outsourced to some country with lacking English skills) would continue to tell me that the most blatant hateful comments do not violate Reddit’s ToS. Meanwhile, you get (perma) banned for the most ridiculous & mundane things at times, like saying that a fascist Italy should get kicked out of the EU & NATO. Apparently this is considered “spreading hate” and they even denied my appeal, explaining that both institutions require the members to be democratic. Meanwhile all the racism on subs like /r/europe would go unpunished. I also tried to report similar comments to mine as hate, but containing less popular countries like Turkey, and unsurprisingly they also didn’t see it as hate.

    Getting harassed by other users that reply on all your comments & follow you around? Nope, no violation.
    Questioning the title & picture relation of a governmental account? Apparently harassment / bullying worth a 7 day ban.
    Calling out dehumanization? Perma ban in a sub.
    Perma ban in a sub? Perma ban in another sub for complaining about it, for “ban evasion”.
    Speaking out against predatory monetization methods & FOMO tactics in modern video games? Getting attacked & insulted by users and consequently perma banned for being “an asshole troll” - none of the attacks & insults were removed, let alone punished.

    What isn’t a violation? Racism, transphobia, homophobia, calls for violence, etc.
    In regards to big hate subs it is also mostly the case that Reddit only goes and does something against them when there’s some sort of media attention around it. When it directly affects their potential income. Maybe if advertisers start to complain about it.

    The enforcement of the rules is so random at this point that I don’t even know what one is allowed to say, or why I even should care about accounts and the platform as a whole. I understand that moderation of big platforms is not an easy task, but one surely can do better than whatever the hell Reddit is doing nowadays.

    In regards to specifically Lemmy I would say they aren’t up to a good start with the controversial admin team and their extremist views.


  • Not much. There’s so much mod & admin abuse nowadays that I developed kind of a resentment. On top of that there’s a lot of rude or downright hateful user behavior that seems to not just not get punished, but in some cases even encouraged. The only thing that lets me endure it for now is simply the community relevant content. As for kbin it needs exactly that. More users and content. Functionality of the site is good enough to be usable for me and will surely also improve but we really need the people and content to bring everything together.



  • I had the same thought here: https://kbin.social/m/linux@lemmy.ml/t/9828/uhhh-what-do-I-call-the-subreddits#entry-comment-42869

    B sounds like a sensible solution to the issue, but maybe not so much in a thing that communities “join”, but rather “connect” to. The former sounds like a centralized thing that has to be hosted somewhere, the latter being something that exists purely through the communities that are part of it. However, I suspect this needs to be a feature within the actual fediverse type protocol that all those instances (including Mastodon) use, to make this an actual possibility.
