This is because it’s emulating Reddit, and operates in the same ways, cultures, and countries as Reddit does.
From bad mods and bans, to niche communities, to the brigading and politics. From rating posts, avoiding discussions, and responding with meme floods.
Lemmy will merely reproduce all the negativity, politics, and everything else we hate about Reddit …and it’s already doing so.
[EDIT: As you can see in the comments, full of people agreeing Lemmy will also be toxic in similar ways].
I came here to explain this and explain why.
Internet sites will all go the way of reddit because female-coded websites had ended/lost their base. So the wave of blue church nuts have no where else to go so they flood everything with their shitty ideological systems and appeals to authority and authoritarianism.
And they won’t admit that it is their own crap that stinks everything up.
At which point down the conspiracy rabbit hole is it that sentences become equal parts disturbing, nonsensical and offensive?
I like people like you. You remind me that I’m not so bad.
Because I am so bad?
On a scale of Taylor Swift to Yolondi where do you and I fall?
You really do get a better class of loony on Lemmy.
We get kicked out of everywhere else.
But if you really want crazy - take a peek down the Mormon influencer rabbit hole.
Wtf is a female coded website?
So the Internet has a strong divide between male and female users. In what sites they use and where they aggregate. Women-coded websites like geocities, imgur, and tumblr were some of the first to be acquired to be monetized. Because the Mormon church had shown how effectively women could be leveraged for ad revenue and marketing. When those places became compromised women moved into the male coded places and it changed the demographics. Making those places the next targets for purchase and control.
Also - women coded does not just mean social media. Yes FB, Insta, Tiktok ect are feminine focused but that is for the bulk of the population. Not strong internet users.
There are some female vestiges remaining. But they’re newer and mostly monetized to generating smut.
It has pink in the CSS. Most web sites have blue, not pink. I’m a scientist.
What do you call it when I turn on dark mode, mr scientist?
