  • “These are not said by the employees, because of the power dynamic where if they say anything I could and would get them fired out of pure pettyness, so they just silently hope I die in a car crash on the way home.”

    Ftfy.

    With all that said, until things change, for sake of the underpaid employees, please tip just know you don’t have too. If they treat you kindly and respectfully, tip, if not, smallest tip possible.

    A’ight, that’s cool at least as long as you tip in the current system but push for change, no prob there. But make no mistake the only reason the employee doesn’t say anything is the power dynamic, they’re thinkin’ it!






  • …all communities named “piracy” are not the same, the full community name technically includes the instance, they are each their own “subreddit.” You could subscribe to all of them if you wish, or to just “the largest one,” but you can think of them as say “lemmyworldpiracy” and “beehawpiracy” and so on, they are just different communities.

    It’d be like if two separate 15yo kids ran a fan page for their favorite anime character and expecting them to be identical simply because they are both about Goku, they’re just different “sites” by different people, they just aren’t the same thing simply because they’re about the same topic.

    You want sewage? You sign up for sewage. Everybody who does, has a week assigned where they must do the necessary maintainance for that utility.

    So I’m supposed to learn everything about sewer maintinence before this week, or are we throwing untrained people at critical infrastructure simply because they want to use it? And what then if I also want food, transportation, a computer, cat food, smokeables, drinkables, shelter, etc? Do I have to become an expert in all of those things too and work in those to get food, shelter, etc? Have to churn butter for a week if I want access to the butter store, and make bread for a week to get access to the bread lines, then I can make toast?

    Personally I’d prefer if there was some way to make what I make or do what I do, exchange those items or services for some thing with an agreed upon value, which I can in turn take to the store and trade for bread and butter.






  • My masto admin still is free to ban people he doesn’t like from his server of course, he just would rather we be able to curate our own feeds, and I’m sure curates his own just the same as we do. He didn’t abdicate the throne I suppose by the nature of being the server owner, and our server is private (exclusive to those in a particular club,) I guess he’s just a benevolent dictator. Still though, I like his approach.


  • Yes, just venting my personal grievances with the reacionary culture of the fedi at large. I think the fediverse would be perfect if most of the moderation (regarding cultivating your feed and blocking instances, communities, and users) was placed on the individual, barring outright illegal content like CP, revenge porn, or beastiality which should of course be nuked from orbit and are all actually illegal.

    I’d like to see the culture go not from dictator (reddit) to smaller dictators (lemmy), but from dictator (reddit) to anarchism (lemmy, but with more community decision making for themselves as an individual rather than The Council of Beehaw and The Council of Lemmy.world deciding all their peasants are at war with each other.)

    This is the way imo. I’d personally like to see the culture of the fedi shift more towards self-moderation by users, let the users decide for themselves what individuals, communities, or servers they want or don’t want to see.

    Yes, this would mean that you’d be responsible for thinking for yourself, but imo that added slight burden is worth the freedom that is supposedly the reason the fedi exists.

    My masto server does this (beyond who defederated us because we don’t wholesale block the same people they block) and it works just fine for me, I just banned the Nazi instance (cause duh), the wolf-gender instance (it’s all they talk about and I’m just not interested, I’m sure they’re fine people), the Loli-art instance (cause duh), and the futa-bot (it’s spam, a lot of it, and I’m not into futa), and I’m gtg, just wish the reactionary instances that I’d be fine with weren’t so cliquey as to ban my instance for allowing it’s users to think for themselves, but c’est la vie.
