My big hope with the fediverse is that stuff like that can be contained. lemmy.world is the big instance where most anything goes. If you’re looking for quality curated content, then you’ve got places like beehaw.org. Similar to /r/AskHistorians, but that was always an awkward system. Is /r/AskPlumbers or whatever up to the same standards, or just some rando subreddit? Now, if you find a community like [email protected], then you can explore the other communities on the instance and be reasonably assured that they’re also up to snuff.

Also, I think the memes and other easily-ingestable content is a healthy sign. It draws people to the fediverse, and then they can discover more niche communities that make them stay long-term. The memes aren’t for everyone, but the memes help everyone get good communities.

My hope is the opposite, I’d like to see instances become more transparent. Make communities able to migrate instances, and merge. Hosting instances should be more like bit coin mining Which miner that does something shouldn’t matter, it’s all about keeping anyone from having a majority stake and the whole thing just works for users.

I’ll take the normies over people who unironically uses normie as an insult

But yes, I saw one post in particular earlier to day from your typical right wing shill that was baiting people.

Thankfully, the community is small enough that I can, so far, just block them and go about my day.

we need to have freedom of speech. unlike fascist reddit where all non-normies are shut down and abused, kbin is about freedom. Here the TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL ! Gods, don't block people just because you don't like what they say. then you end up living in an echo chamber just like Trump. Are you a Trump??

Ahahaha, you had me at first, well played.

Honestly the fact instances are being defederated has helped a lot. It seems to happen at a rate that doesn’t seem ridiculous, not like there is a flood of garbage but still not none.

I am not really noticing this at a large scale. I’ve seen it here and there but not enough to be worrisome. The ration of good content to poor content still remains heavily in favor of the good.

No positives?

nodsocket OP ,

More users means more content, which is a positive of course.

bernieecclestoned ,

Yeah, more means more nice peeps and more dickheads, cest la vie
