There's concerted efforts by actual nazis to shit this place up because they see it as a genuine threat.

Well feddit.de is down for quite a while now.
Only the front-end of feddit.de has serious problems, right ? Why would the maintainers not run another front-end (e.g. Elk) on the same server and redirect their broken front-end link to that as work-around for web users ?
Influx of libs. It's a sign of success for the platform, but holy fuck lemmy.world posters are annoying
What sort of things out them as "libs"?
Anything that suggests you believe the current state of the world is acceptable outs you as a lib. Saying things like "Yeah Biden's got some problems, but at least he didn't do a few of the things trump did." If you believe that things would have been fine were it not for trump, you're a lib. Or a moron, I cant always tell the difference.
Heres a great summary of liberalism: "If we put forward good policies into the politics machine, then other people will too, and because I have absolute faith in the system established by a bunch of slave owners, whatever comes out MUST be just and good." Which of course implies that if the result you want or need DOESNT come out of the politics machine, it is right and just that you should not get it.
Like, they fundamentally don't realize that the politics machine is capable of breaking, and that it has been broken for a LONG time (basically the moment it was asked to value the needs of someone who wasn't wealthy, white, and male.)
Hmm. Let me check my inbox. One lib is complaining about leftists. Another is talking about "harm reduction" in the context of genocide
I don't know if I want to know more about this second person... I'm gonna go with not
Edit: i shouldn't have scrolled further
Hmm... Today I learned that lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy instance.
It's usually the first listed in any guide on how to start using Lemmy, so it tends to get a lot of new-to-the-fediverse users. It's presumably where I would have ended up, if there wasn't a country-specific instance for me
".ml keeps saying things I don't like, defederate!"
The level of aggressive comments....
It's devolving quickly into Reddit. Everything is either black or white, dog shit or a miracle... No nuance
Increasingly people attack people instead of ideas when commenting
I think it's worse here than on reddit when it comes to this. Redditors these days (*takes out the walker and cane*) are shitty, but I feel like I'm somewhat insulated from a lot of it due to where I lurk/participate on reddit. But on Lemmy, I see it pretty much everywhere. Smaller userbase compared to reddit, so maybe the rudeness is more visible.
Please report aggressive / toxic comments as a rule 2 violation here. We can and should do better than reddit when it comes to being respectful and kind to each other.
Lots of support for a genocide, thought this place was better than Reddit.
I don't have an account long enough but browsed through the different instances enough and I've never seen anything about genocide.
They're talking about Gaza, fam. Specifically, continued funding for Israel and babbling about "realpolitik"
More like lots of having to refute dumb arguments that imply choosing harm reduction is the same thing as endorsing harm.
"harm reduction" in the context of genocide is absolutely wild. It's a genocide, not a heroin habit
I want no genocide. My choices are: vote for a candidate that would make the genocide worse, while complaining they're supporting a genocide, or vote for a candidate that would more or less do nothing about it, while complaining they're ineffectual at stopping the genocide.
How can you not see one of those two options is better?
That genocide supporter oughta Genocide Biden and the other do nothing one oughta Peaceful Trump I see.
Biden isnt "doing nothing", he's actively making it worse. He is directly complicit. How do you not see this?
Okay, does that actually change the choice you make? You only have two practical options when it comes to voting. I said do nothing because the government's policy on Israel effectively hasn't changed now that they've started a genocide (or rather, really ramped up their genocide). In that sense, he's doing nothing. But again, does that change the choice you make in order to end up with the world closest to what you want?
Found the genocide supporter
Redditors have been showing up, and lemmy mods are behaving more and more like the very thing redditors wanted to leave reddit for.
People with unchecked power being unreasonable! I'm shocked! Shocked!
