Kbin had it. I don’t know about Mbin.

I see, then what you’re asking for is sadly impossible.

Also FWIW I do not have the same issue as you. Not sure why!

Yes, but there are no (cannot be) any content rules that apply to the entire fediverse, the admins of each instance determine what experience their users will have.

Not everyone is seeing the same posts you are seeing, and your instance has no rules on the topic. You could have more luck enacting change by messaging your admins or making a meta post in your instance’s meta community.

Nobody really seems to be pointing out that you are on an instance that does not require the behavior you are requesting.

Lemmy and Piefed are much more 1:1 reddit replacements. Mbin is it’s own thing, which is very high quality, but has less out of the box appeal to someone looking for “fediverse reddit”.

What’s going on? Why does this offtopic comment have 14 upvotes and no upvotes?

EDIT: Dead internet theory here in full force. This post is about Lemmy. The only thing that has to do with Substack is the example post that OP highlighted to demonstrate issues with Lemmy federation. And yet the top comment (and replies to my comment) is going on as if this post is about Substack, almost as if it was written by a technology that cannot understand context.

Pixel doesn’t have eink screen though which is kind of the whole point

Fortunately “groupthink” on the fediverse isn’t a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.

I also noticed that when Lemmy links do appear it’s often to a random federated instance, not the original source.

No one person can control everything.

Doesn’t seem to be stopping you from trying!

Eh, I think you’re projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got “butthurt” because he didn’t want to play with you.

It’s no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn’t think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.

He said “this” experiment, not “the fediverse” which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).

That said, I’m honestly curious what do you care about his “toxicty” if he’s not an admin of your instance? You don’t seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?

I’m glad we agree.

What did you interpret the premise to be? I read the post when it was up, and it read to me like OP was saying essentially that too many toxic users and not enough admins willing to stand up to them make the overall experience not fun.

EDIT: Which is accurate in my mind at least when it comes to Lemmy

Sounds like a major perk of that instance to me.

Hilarious that that account’s made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.

I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.

I like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.

twas a joke, but that’s a nice feature!

Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.

Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times?
