  • Discord has a much larger userbase tham KiwiFarms.

    Discord’s admin team doesn’t condone or call for this type of stuff, it just so happens that people used their platform for bad things. It’s near impossible to manually keep an eye on things at their scale, and doing so would violate people’s privacy as it’s a messaging platform with plenty of private communities and chats.

    The admin of KiwiFarms actively condones and engages in the harassment of people. It’s quite literally their founded purpose. Chris Chan isn’t a great person, but she doesn’t deserve harassment. The KiwiFarms community went after one socially-awkward person with a neurological condition, and then decided it wanted to go after anybody else who might be slightly socially awkward.

    I was in a community one time with someone who was socially awkward, but genuinely a well-meaning person. I’m not naming names, but I eventually found out that people had a harassment campaign against her for the most mundane of reasons.

    “Becoming associated” with “petty” harassers is misleading and you know that. They were founded to be an harassment campaign, and grew to harass others to the point of suicide, which they then continue to mock after death. All this because a bunch of sad individuals need to put others down in order to feel better about themselves when in actuality they’re worse than the people they harass to the point of killing themselves for an escape.

    I hope you know that you and anybody else who uses that site will never amount to anything more than accessories to crime. If you really need to feel better about yourself, then howsabout you delete your KF account, go outside, and get a life?




  • My reasoning for doing so in the community I mention is just because it’s a music community, and I really don’t want new people to the community getting the impression that they and their music tastes aren’t welcome, especially if the downvotes are coming from people blanket downvoting their All feed rather than from community members themselves.

    This would likely just be with people I see who have a history of doing this according to modlogs, and not with regular users who happen to downvote a post.

    Giving the thread a read, thanks!




  • This was a long time back, but Blahaj Zone defederated with the LemmyNSFW community a while ago since LemmyNSFW had a community by the name of “Adorable Porn”, reason being that they thought it was content that appealed to pedophiles and the likes.

    The community had some irl pornographic content with cutesy sorta vibes, mainly of petite women. The admins of Blahaj Zone basically demanded LemmyNSFW remove the community, or they would defederate since they thought it was reverse jailbait, adults made to look like minors.

    The community description didn’t really help at all seeing that it had the term “child-like” there, which is likely what set the spark for the entire interaction, but it was copy-pasted from a dictionary definition. Also pouring fuel on the fire iirc was the fact that the admins of LemmyNSFW have English as their second language, so that might have also gotten in the way of things.

    It’s been a while since this all happened, but from what I remember they removed “child-like” from the community description, but Blahaj Zone ended up defederating anyway still of the opinion that the community’s purpose was to appeal to pedos.

    I just remember seeing this all go down cause for a time since I was windowshopping for a new instance to move to, and was using Blahaj Zone’s website to check what was posted to 196, and saw it the defederation notice stickied to the homepage.
















  • Not entirely. While you can interact with content from other social platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube from Lemmy, federation is best experienced when you utilize platforms with similar use cases.

    For example, the link aggregators (Reddit-likes) on the fediverse are Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, and until recently, Lotide. Each of these platforms have similar looks and purpose with slight differentiation. While you can communicate with video streaming or microblogging like PeerTube and Mastodon respectively, it’s best to stay within the link aggregators and make a new account for those purposes.

    To give an example with microblogging on the Fediverse, there’s also a number of options. Biggest one is Mastodon, but others include Misskey and it’s endless forks, Smithereen, Pleroma/Akkoma, Mitra, Threads, etc. all with their own interesting quirks. While they can interact with Lemmy and whatnot, their best interactions are going to be with similar-purposed platforms.
