To me it seems like their admins want total control and aren’t satisfied with the level of control they can bring to bear on external instance users. Hence their focus on ‘moderator tools’ and ‘bad actors’ and ‘open registration’ as issues.
They don’t allow community creation, and all their communities are moderated by admins. But if my niche community or post grows on lemmy.world or here and their users can see it, we’ve usurped their control.
It seems to me like an outshoot of the Reddit default sub power modding approach
lol! I was kind of looking at them like a cult yesterday. The argument about safe spaces, and supporting minorities seems like a red herring to me considering I got banned 2 days ago for expressing a minority experience. This isn’t about “tolerating intolerance”, they want an echo chamber.
The authoritian push is why I left Reddit. Beehaw can do what they want, but I want to talk to a people with differing opinions, and perspectives. I want to argue with people I disagree with, I want to learn new things and challenge my beliefs. I want to see people analyse, and break down discussions to show their flaws, I want to see ideas scrutinized.
Reddit use to be be a great hub for that kind of content, now any heated topic just gets locked.
Current internet culture makes me feel like Dennis Leary in demolition man.
Quote: You got that right. See, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I’ve seen the future, you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sittin’ around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to death.
Judging by the insane amount of downvotes on my TLC, no one here wants that either. Seems to be mostly kbin users that are trying to be the self-righteous “voices of reason” in the comments here. If anyone should be defedded it’s kbin.

I don’t know how to end this, but yeah!

Scene.
You couldn’t be more on point with this reference. I hate modern oppressive internet culture.

Finally a smart person. This is a good read on the situation.
