Summary:
-
Mod of an inactive community is upset that I try to build [email protected] rather than [email protected] and removes a comment encouraging a user to crosspost their question
-
Mod action: https://lemmy.world/comment/14369112
-
They then come to the lemm.ee community and use incorrect data such as “this community has no posts by other people than you” (it does, 4 posts in the last 11 days, while theirs had 2 in the last month) https://sopuli.xyz/post/21608236?scrollToComments=true
-
They accuse me to be on a “vendetta” against LW while I’m the main poster on [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] and [email protected]
-
they try to bargain the consolidation of [email protected] and [email protected] , while that has nothing to do with the league of legends communities (television and showsandmovies were both active, here the LW version hasn’t had a post in the last 23 10 days)
The whole post seems strange to me, what do you all think?
Additional context: https://fedihosting.foundation/lw-team/
I’ve seen a lot of LW users behaving like this.
They want a single comm per topic, preferably in LW; and everyone should go to that comm, no dissidence allowed. Always talking about “not splitting efforts”, or some FUD like “unless we gather together Lemmy will never succeed”.
And, when you tell them a clear “no”, they throw a tantrum. Like Serinus did there.
I think that they got out of Reddit, but they didn’t get Reddit out of themselves. They still behave like this was a Reddit-like monolithic platform; so when they see decentralisation - like multiple comms for the same topic, in different instances - they treat it as a bug, when it’s a feature.
Anyway, I’d call that FAPTB (failed attempt of powertripping).EDIT: wow, they removed your mention of the other comm! Talk about pettiness. PTB.Maybe we should point them out to Discuit and their 181 weekly active users: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/NlAdOWAp
Some people indeed don’t seem to understand that if Lemmy has 43k monthly active users, it’s thanks to the different instances and community. Would ml been a single forum, most of the people wouldn’t have even registered. LW could have a decent following, but the regular debatable policy updates would have probably pushed people away.
Sounds like Discuit should add apub integration. At this day and age it honestly baffles me that people like the devs of raddle and discuit go all like “No we don’t want to talk to anyone else. You have to join our walled garden!”
There are at least 4 or 5 forums on /r/Redditalternatives which could definitely benefit from ActivityPub, but they don’t see the appeal.
One of them even asks for people credit card information to avoid bots
Ye I know, it’s fucking bizarre. Every 6 months, a new reddit alternative comes up which doesn’t have apub and expects to get user by sheer charm or smt.
Lol, at an age where people are preconditioned to assume this means a subscription lock-in and the rest don’t even own one, I wonder how many people took them up on that offer.
I also love the naivety of thinking $3 once will stop spammers. As if that wouldn’t be a perfectly cheap amount to pay to spam all their users if they had a lot of them. Twitter has $8 a pop and it’s innundated with spam
Well put. It’s a bit disheartening, because people put time and energy in those projects, that could be used to develop the existing open source platforms…
Software devs and their “I can build this better from scratch in one weekend” mentality, mate…
