Honestly, mods are the biggest problem and reddit and they have been for a long time. Huge communities are inconsistently moderated and there is no sense of fairness. Driving powermods of the platform is probably a good thing.
Either way the experience is leaving a sour taste in my mouth... i certainly dont want to go join bee so at this stage im leaning towards giving up on fed. between todays conversations and the glitches i think ive had enough.
Maybe that says more about the communities you choose to interact with than lemmy. I notice every link you posted is from kbin, and not lemmy - i've never even been to a kbin server myself.
This looks like a really large scale attack. Not just US Govt but also large corporations. And apparently also including NATO countries.
Senior government officials are racing to limit the impact of what's believed to be a global cyberattack affecting U.S. federal agencies and allies, including NATO member countries.
One cybersecurity expert characterized the breach as one of the largest theft and extortion events in recent history. Victims include Johns Hopkins University, the University of Georgia, the BBC and British Airways.

The problem with allowing spaces for fascists to exist online is when they start existing in offline groups too. If discussion was the biggest risk then there would be no harm in letting them participate.
I will block you soon. I have stated clearly this is upsetting and I am not interested in talking to you.
Look man, honestly, I don't want to talk to you at this stage. You started all of this because for some reason you got personally offended at my use of the word gaslighted. I felt gaslighted. I still do now, whether you like it or not. And, the thing is, every time you tell me I'm not allowed to feel gaslighted, you're doing it more. You're like the paradoxical cretin; despite all your misdirections some truth leaks through nonetheless.
At this stage, you're making me consider whether I want to use fed at all. I left reddit to get away from people like u. Peace.
" have people said you couldnt be upset about it?"
Yes, lots of people are downplaying our concerns and casting accusations at the instance. one thing that annoys me is how many people are classifying lemmy.world as unfriendly or full of trolls. That upsets me because everyone here has been very kind and friendly to me except for the people talking about how unkind and unfriendly we are. This is a reputation that is extremely damaging as it drives away positive users and attracts trolls to our server. Things like this should not be done lightly and I have actually gained a bit of ill will towards bee over these selfish actions that harm Fediverse as a whole.
People are literally coming here and accusing us of "starting a lynch mob" in this very post. Simply because the guy said this was a dumb decision. Sayin we are "aggressive" for criticising this post. Accusing us of brigading and harassing the beehaw hosts. They even said that we are undesirable. And that's just one example, there are multiple people here doing it.
All of these things were caused by beehaw and their inability to mod their instance. How is that my fault? And why am I not allowed to be upset by this?
Okay man. Lets go through the events. First you tell me my opinion is wrong. I explain why I wholeheartedly feel this way. Then you start trying to undermine my opinion and personal beliefs on the matter. When I point it out, you deny it's happening, and act like I'm crazy and try portray me as overreacting.
How is that not gaslighting? Lol. perhaps you're unaware of what gaslighting actually is. Either way, this is a very manipulative conversation, and I'm glad you're uncomfortable about it. Peace.
its not gas lighting
think about that sentence. It's my opinion. i would know if you're gas lighting me. you're still doing it.
You know, I keep hearing this, but it's beehaw people coming here and starting arguments. If it's not a problem, then why are people getting annoyed? Beehaw is allowed to defederate if they really think so, but we don't have to pretend like it's a smart decision. And, at the end of the day, it only hurts them more than anyone else.
