platforms dont have a moral obligations to host opinions it is one thing when someone says something sane but unpopular and gets themselfs booted thats not good however extremist opinions such as nazism have no place on a decent platform look at what happened to voat and basically every other platform promoting free speech people who got booted off moderated platforms go there to spread their hate and destroy the site

true but its easy to set up quickly so pros and cons

agreed but i woudnt call it won just yet lets see what happens after the 3rd party apps stop working and people who may not have been paying attention get affected

im pretty neutral on it maybe theres a god maybe there isnt doesnt make a difference me people can believe what they want as long as its not actively harming them or others

they have moderators but the situation was just that bad and keep in mind moderators are volunteers and you cant just assign anyone to it either and when given the choice of keep moderator and admin time from other important issues or simply do something about the problem they chose the second its not an ideal solution but it is a solution

Honestly this is too extreme the problems werent with the instances themselfs it was that a lot of users from over there were overwhelming the moderators and admins and something had to be done in the end the defed was chosen because it is the only option currently provided by lemmy if you look into the comments you can see that the admins dont want to push the big red defed button but thats the only option they have this issue isnt black and white

Defederating means that for all intents and purposes beehaw and lemmy.world dont exist to each other its like if you and another person just agreed to not talk anymore and deleted each others phone number the posts that have federated over still exist but they wont be updated in any way

They said in the post that this is because of inssuficient mod tools a Mastodon for instance is far better in that regard but even then when it exploded instances blocked mastodon.social and other due to moderation concerns once the reddit wave is given time to settle down and better tools are made available i think they will refederate with those instances

Defederating means that you as the user cannot interact or see comunities on those instances from this one and would need another account on a instance that is federated with them

To anyone looking to donate here is a financial thread made by the admins for this month where they outline where money is going and how much is spent roughly each month (it is a few days old however and donations have increased since then so i would keep that in mind) https://beehaw.org/post/428209

I read during my breaks or when i have nothing to do pretty much anywhere its why i personally prefer digital books over physical ones

This looks amazing but im going to go rip out my corneas now thank you very much

Same here accually having convesations with people has been pretty fun and ive yet to see anything not civil for now wich is a plus

From what i understand the karma system was meant to be a way to encourage people to be active early on to drive even more traffic to the site but as it went on it definitely devolved into a popularity contest like you said

The karma system had its advantages in that early on it encouraged people to be active and make the site seem more alive from what ive heard but as it went on it ike you said just devolved into an popularity contest

Outer wilds Subnautica Subnautica Below zero FTL and into the breach are some of my favorites personally
