I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry.
@Hovenko wrote that really carefully. If you interpret it literally, it basically says “some moderators are addicted to power.”
Which is true. You are also right, most aren’t. But some are.
Not to the degree what I’m used to. It’s very minimal. It’ll probably take a year or two before it’s fully there, is my expectation.
It’s not an easy thing to make and it doesn’t have the highest priority generally. Reddit didn’t even have automoderator for years.
Just make an extra account… I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of reddit accounts, on reddit I already kept my participation separated and I used containers to quickly switch between them. It’s fine, I wouldn’t even notice a difference.
I thought the whole point of federation was that everything from every federated instance was connected and I only need one account to see every part of it.
That was never going to happen, not even in the best possible case.
Far left and far right are always going to split off. Do you want to be having discussions about race with neo nazis? I don’t. Let them go to their own dark corner of the internet.
Oh yeah, I’ve got a whole bunch from both beehaw and lemmy on my kbin.
You are appealing to reason, the people that are in favor of defederation are doing so based on emotion (because they simply can’t have enough information, because no one has that right now).
I’m not saying either approach is inferior, sometimes it’s better to use reason, sometimes it’s better to use emotion, I don’t know what is better in this case (there’s a component of future prediction to it, how you can even do that properly, I don’t know).
But I don’t think appealing to reason works in this particular case. People that are willing to act on emotions aren’t going to change that for rational reasons, they’ll change it for emotional reasons. You’ll have to give them emotional messages instead.
