What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid?
What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid?
For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.
Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.
If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

There's a difference between politics and hate speech I'd say. Politics sure ok. Ad hominem attacks and hate speech should be removed imo. Additionally, if a thread is becoming too hostile, sometimes locking it down is just a good thing to do before things get worse.
Totally agree. The thing is it's a thin line between identifying hate speech and disagreement. Some people (mods) confuse the two. Moderating well is a tough job.
I don't think people even understand what an ad hominem attack is anymore. There was a time people understood the distinction between making a cutting remark about someone else's thinking, but this was at a time when people fundamentally recognized that thoughts are not us. As it is, it's become far more common for people to mistakenly assume that hurt feelings are the result of given offense, and not taken offense. Reddit mods didn't know the difference, and already I am getting that people in this thread don't seem to get that difference either.
You sound conservative bro 😂 everyone around conservatives doesn't understand the world correctly like they should
Nah. Us vs Them thinking is usually the number one indicator of brainwashing. Villifying in order to present yourself as someone who 'understands' is another. Very GenZ of you.
Hate speech isn’t free speech. It comes at a cost.
The problem is, people use the blurry lines of "hate speech" to encompass broadly any speech that disagrees with their position. E.g., Gender Ideology. It has become fashionably virtuous for people to hide behind claims of hate speech in order to silence dissent and erroneously shame their opposition.
Well the good thing about lemmy is that people can jump ship and form new communities if they don't like the moderation of one. It will almost certainly lead people into echo chambers even more insulated than on reddit, though.
Which is precisely what this thread is about. Avoiding ways to become the worst of what reddit became.
Dumb. Lies should be deleted not debated. It takes too much energy to refute lies. That's why fascists lie all the time. People acting in bad faith, deliberately lying, should not have a platform in a democracy.
Determining when someone is acting in bad faith or deliberately lying is often much easier said than done
Easy for me but then I went to school for many many years.
I don't know, once every court to hear Trump's bogus election challenges threw them out for lack of evidence, seems pretty easy to know the election denialists were proven liars. Ban them all at that point.
Let science, peer review, and the law decide, case by case.
It doesn't appear you understand the words you're using, or have a clear sense of reason in your arguments. Lots of hot button words with very GenZ takes.
I have degrees in history, criminology, and law. I think I got it covered.
You're a dolt. Not even degrees in history, criminology, and law will fix that. Also, who would boast about majoring in such weak subjects. 🤡
Yeah being a lawyer, so weak. Eat shit loser.
I was verified on r/lawyers and r/Ask_Lawyers too. Big whoop. You're embarassing yourself, and showing how green in law you really are. Just grad? :p
Who brags about having degrees from indoctrination mills? Says nothing about your degree of intellect. Three degrees later and you still haven't figured that part out. 👏 👏 👏
