  • about alts. It would still be a problem but not bigger than usual, as anyone can make an alt. But as AT proto guarantees easy migration between PDSs there won’t be a situation where suddenly lemmy.ee users get unbanned because they MUST make an alt.

    I think there are still some problems that I can’t see but if I would be able to subscribe to toxic user list curated by lemmy.world team for my 10 mau instance I would.

    This is a battle with toxicity and so far fedi is losing. Every step to gain a little of safe ground would be a step into right direction.




  • Now I would really like to make a deepdive and see how did blackskyweb.xyz manage to become huge moderating force in AT proto(bluesky).

    I was surprised that over those 2 years bluesky is kinda selfhostable. Maybe decision to make instances more important than people has doomed ActivityPub to become a toxic cesspool. I still remember how technology connections has resigned from mastodon over toxicity.

    I saw this toxicity at the beginning and changed how I interact with the network. No controversial topics whatsoever, no OC memes as they will be bashed. Now I just repost stuff from tumblr and comment here and there.








  • Is it worth it?

    No. It will never be worth it. This is not the trade you think you are making.

    Idk, I have constructed this “superior” all different character of mine

    I assume that here lies your problem. That you somehow want this feeling of superiority, and you pick whatever could make you feel that way.

    There are two ways you could do this:

    • Detach from feelings of alienation in your friend group.
      OR
    • Detach from the feelings of superiority.

    There are ways to find mainstream stuff, but they need effort. RSS feeds, good news letters, subscriptions to actual newspapers, throwaway accounts for Social Media with strict time limits and adblockers.
