Not to be a clit but can we all users get together and create active communities to counter reddit or out do them with better mods?

"Can we have a better relationship than you did with your ex?"

We are who we are and Lemmy is what it is. How the userbase and the platform develop can be better than Reddit, because Reddit belongs to the bots and hedge funds, but that depends on what happens between us.

We left Reddit, and some of y'all are unfaithful to Lemmy, for weak reasons and Lemmy isn't Reddit.

This is where we are and it is up to us and Lemmy to grow together. Lemmy or us can fuck up a good thing by trying to make Lemmy into what we miss from Reddit and Lemmy not being what Lemmy is.

Fuck Reddit. Lemmy deserves to be our main bitch that tolerates our fondness for Reddit because it isn't as great as Reddit was; but Lemmy could be the best we ever had if we are faithful.

What's killing Lemmy for me is its rapid descent to 4Chan quality 'discussions'. Mod tools are piss poor which is my internal explanation for most Mod's blatant bias, haphazard enforcement, and wildly disparate punitive actions. This is exasperated by Federation, supposedly a feature, which essentially ends up diluting the already minuscule population amongst several similarly themed communities, and renders punitive measures pointless.

I could literally tell a Mod to eat a bag of dicks (with a ridiculously high probability of being justified), get banned, and be right back in 10 minutes. Mods need better tools to standardize their performance and simplify the workload, and better oversight against their bias (or at least a way to rate a communities bias before signing up for an instance). As an example .ml looks just as viable as .world when a new user is looking to join and both instances have VASTLY different experiences for the same reasons: bias and reputation.

;tldr Lemmy is essentially lawless, which is a 'feature' that appeals to the wrong people at all levels in the community, and that is going to keep Lemmy down despite being better than Reddit.

Hey, Don, I know you're excited and all, and I do appreciate that, but Lemmy isn't going to turn into Reddit overnight.

I've been here for only over a year, and I've seen growth, but it's going to take a while (possibly never) for us to see Reddit size activity.

Don't know you dude or dudeette but we can try to be what reddit first started as and what now it should be. It would be nice to show them compition to show their way is not working and ours are.
- I get you, and I don't disagree, but sharing more actual content and less questions and comments about the lack of content, is much more likely to keep users here.
- This is what Reddit was like in the early days, too. It's better here because, with a smaller user base, you end up seeing a lot of the same people over and over again.

Two questions:

How would that be different than what everyone has been doing?
What is even implied by the usage of 'clit' here? It feels like it's being used with a negative connotation, but they are pretty fucking awesome. Definitely in my top three favorite erogenous zones.

LOL since I am a female it kind of seems weird to me to use the word dick. How would it be different? Is people creating multiple communities and keeping on tops of them and letting the admins know what they are doing and anyone who needs help can ask another community. Kind of like me with AMA requests which still looking for someone who knows how to be a mod or done it before and teach me how to be one and someone to teach me how to build a healthy community. Please visit my community. https://lemmy.world/c/amarequests you can post all your requests and still trying to get in touch to people who do have a community that does AMA's but currently seems that they are inactive.
- Username does not check out.
- It seems weird to use the word dick? It's been used for decades by literally everyone. The word clit sounds incredibly weird to use here.
  
  How to be a mod? Read posts, make sure they follow the rules of the instance. That's is the entire job.
  
  How to form a community? You can start one with a few friends to get conversations going, but it's hard on Lemmy. Users have to first know about the community and then also decide if they want to subscribe to it, and all of this is hard for new users.
- I do not approve of denigrating the clitoris, but I guess you do you. Er.... wait.... that's not how I meant that to sound.
- I love your responses to their questions about your word choice. I've posted a request for Linus Torvalds. You miss every shot you don't take ;)
- Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !amarequests@lemmy.world

I'm a big clit fan and I'm very confused by your turn of phrase here?

Trying to give an alternative to use the word dick.
- Dicks are wonderful too though! Might I suggest something generally neutrally awful if you're concerned, like a shit, a jerk, a turbo loser, or even a failbot 9000?
- You could try using a non gendered insult instead of degrading women because you are not a man.

Using "clit" as a derogatory term but running around calling "nazi" "the NA word"? Are you for real?

I would have said Dick but since I do not have one I use the word clit. Does that offend you?
- In that case change your name to Con_Clitle

Which communities do you want to mod?

Well currently trying to mod AMA requests but would like to expand. With that being said I have no clue how to mod but will do my best but would like to get something going like IWTL or askhistorians. Basically I would like to see this site be a reddit of what it used to be. I may this fall create a group if the admins approve to do something like secret santa.
- I was on reddit from the beginning. This is what reddit used to be. I love it here. This is great as it is right now.

I'd say !casualconversation@lemm.ee does a good job. I liked the equivalent in our favorite land of the snoos, but would say the one on here easily beats it out in terms of a good time. The original community that inspired the one on here had a very frequent judgmental streak.
