I can filter the signal on my own just fine. I wish I could fingersnap all moderation out of existence because everywhere I look I see abusive moderators getting between me and the information I want. I have ZERO confidence that Lemmy will ever avoid this fate, the best clue to this is how every topic is concentrated on a single instance (easy choke point for moderators to control the discourse)
This is very unfortunate but Lemmy will eventually become just “reddit with extra steps” because the Lemmy moderators do not believe in fediverse decentralization.
You can moderate your own Lemmy community right now. I’ll even subscribe to it. You can be the change you want to see.
You misunderstand, I am against the very concept of moderation. I do not believe in silencing other people. I don’t need people going around deleting other people’s stuff. I have no difficulty ignoring the stuff I don’t want. And you might be tempted to point to some horrible person somewhere and I would say, I just don’t watch these people. It has become a much MUCH bigger problem that everywhere I go, the stuff I’m looking for has been deleted by moderators, the people I want to talk to have been unpersonned from the internet. I see moderators as an obstacle to overcome, not a baton to wield against others.
Right. So if you run your own Lemmy instance you can leave it unmoderated. You would be in control to not do anything. And it would be the Utopia you want it to be. You have full control here.
You don’t have to wish for other people to do it you can do it.
