I haven’t noticed this. And I browse all. If you’re encountering that much toxicity there may be a common ingredient…
Have you not blocked the negative instances? Most of what I see are positive posts, or news articles.
!fedigrow@lemmy.zip to see people posting their hobby communities
A few I’m active in
- !casualconversation@piefed.social
- !askgaming@piefed.social
- !lego@piefed.social
- !football@sopuli.xyz
- !movies@piefed.social
- !tycoon@lemmy.world
- !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works
It also helps to use Piefed and create custom feeds for different interests, e.g. https://piefed.social/f/blaze_android or https://piefed.social/f/blaze_privacy
Also on PieFed.social all new accounts automatically join 4 positive communities 😇
Wow, piefed is looking better every day
Its fun!
I wish it had a dedicated Mobile app. Or a PWA (Progressive Web-App)
It has a pwa 😊
Summit and Mlem support Piefed
Fair, I only use Voyager anyway
If you mean something that could access all of its features, the reason that isn’t happening yet is because the back-end API is still very minimal. But they’re working on it, and the progress so far is amazing!! 😍
is still very minimal.
I wouldn’t call it minimal, most of the features are available
I thought that things like combining comments across all cross-posts, categories of communities, user-customizeable and shareable feeds, ability to block all users from an instance, etc. were not supported yet.
Perhaps “minimal” is the wrong word though: maybe “basic” would have worked better, with most of PieFed’s most well-known and touted features not having been included yet, unless I missed it and they are now?
IIRC most of those things are available in the API, now it’s on the app devs to support them in their apps.
Oh wow I definitely missed that announcement, that seems major news that the API has improved that much!! (Especially in so short a time)
Is this one negative enough for you? 😅
I was just thinking to myself it’s been so good around here, YPTB has barely had any activity for weeks.
I’ve had a couple cases I could’ve presented there, but it just wasn’t worth it to me to take the time to gather the evidence and write out my case. There’s good reason I’m neither a lawyer, nor a politician.
Hobbyist*
No, they’re the most hobbyest of all the posts!
I haven’t seen a negative post in months.
You just haven’t said anything that they consider the ‘wrong thing’ to say. That’s all.
Trust me, once you do, you’ll know.
Ah yeah sure enough. “Hur hur, they mention downvote so we downvote hruhur!”
Please elaborate I’m out of the loop
Brand new account, owner was probably banned for trolling or shit
Heaven forbid Lemmy acquire new users.
Read the comment again and tell me that’s the comment of a new user on their first day 🙄
Good job taking the bait, then? Is it your first day on here, ffs? Easily triggered dinguses.
? What bait did I take, and how am I triggered, by pointing out they were probably a troll?
Lemmy is just like every other community that has a narratives it agrees with and if you disagree with it even a little you get brigaded. Tankies in particular in my experience
you get brigaded
Ah yes, someone is going through the effort of gathering people to downvote you. That makes more sense then it just being individuals disagreeing with you.
You’re welcome to think that. I don’t really care
Stop brigading me!!!
Is the irony of you being so toxic being evidence of my point completely lost on you or are you leaning too far into trolling?
Ah yes Tankies, the liberal version of woke
Wut
Maybe I’ll create a community too, for what I don’t know yet
If your community has black jack and hookers. I’m in
I wish that when people disagree with a comment or post, they would give a brief explanation for their disagreement instead of just downvoting.
I disagree that people should always leave a comment as that is going to both cause more arguments over small details and if there are many downvotes then it is going to basically spam their inbox.
Sometimes it is nice if one of the downvoters explained if it wasn’t obvious, but sometimes the comment is just so bad that explaining is worse than a bunch of silent downvotes.
Nothing was said about requiring it, but I agree that it’s a bit annoying when there’s downvotes without anyone justifying even a single one of them.
The downvotes also clearly seem to mean different things to different people.
Generally I think they’re just used for spam, extreme racism/homophobia etc, cruelty, bullying, or offensive content - but some people are clearly just chucking them around willy-nilly for very little reason.
People having reasons that don’t align with yours doesn’t make them willy-nilly.
Sorry I wasn’t clear, I mean that some people (I assume) use downvotes just to mean “I don’t agree with the thing you said” rather than “this is extremely offensive/cruel/horrifically bigoted/spreading dangerous misinformation” etc - even on something really minor like “I prefer this tv programme to that one” or “I like this foodstuff made in this way”.
Some people do use it to mean they don’t agree with the thing that was said. Heck, I will down vote certain comments because they are a detriment to the conversation even if they aren’t misinformation because they might be derailing or ignoring the context of the conversation.
I also down vote some comments for being unnecessarily rude even if I agree with them.
I just have a low bar for what deserves up and down votes, but there is always a reason. Heck, I just upvoted your comment to counter a down vote.
If something is extremely offensive/cruel/bigoted/etc, it probably needs to be reported and not just downvoted… Unless it’s some community for hateposting, that kind of stuff is almost always straight up against the community rules.
I used to post regularly in a variety of spaces about things I was interested in.
If you post a single thing that a mod has a problem with, you get instantly banned from the most empty spaces, like WHY? I post a sfw pic to a comm that is loosely associated because there’s no more specific place to post and I get insta banned, why why why?
Not even disrespectful or toxic stuff, literally just posts that don’t meet all the criteria of the requirements that aren’t even fucking listed unless you go to the comm in a web browser.
it’s extremely discouraging, and after only after like a year on this space, I’m already thinking about ditching Lemmy.
Edit: idk who replied, but you’re blocked, probably after harrasing me.
You’re tagged on my client as toxic. You’ve got a modlog a mile long on different instances, different comms, different mods, much of it for being uncivil, advocating violence, etc etc. I’ll venture out on a limb and say you’re the common factor here.
Isn’t it great you can just open up a log that lets you delegitimize the concerns of others? Such a lazy and malicious way to think and behave.
Too bad none of that has to do with my post.
None of my posts about my interests were uncivil.
Also, if you can’t interact in good faith, I’m just going to block you, too, like the other people who whine at me with invalid arguments.
You clearly responded here because you felt you would get dopamine being malicious twoards a valid target, you didn’t come here to have a conversation.
Are you capable of refuting any of my claims without invalid personal attacks to get off?
Could you point at the ‘personal attacks’ you’re claiming I did? My comment was short and entirely factual. Unlike yours right now, I’ll point out.
Ok, blocked
Go get your attention somewhere else
I don’t know if some of them are just new to being mods or if they’re crusty, clenched long-time mods but yeah I’ve been banned for absolutely the stupidest reasons here.
Moderating isn’t really fun, so you have to have a lot of people who want to do it, and Lemmy’s still finding its people.

A true meme.
