I’m so tired of this civility meta.

Lemmy is half as uncivilized as any other social media space I’ve ever been in, including reddit or Twitter. I think people are just confused by a lack of centralized authority to settle disputes on what is or isn’t ‘civil’ behavior - but it certainly isn’t the case that it’s any less civil than just about any alternative.

Maybe this places extra stress on instance admins for constantly addressing complaints of users on and off their server, but that has less to do with the kind of user civility people are talking about and more with a culture of mob justice evidenced by communities like MoG and PTB.

People seem uncomfortable with multipolar systems, and maybe it’s because of my political bent but I think distributed systems are way better.

K but who gets the fatwa? The doctor?

Did you know that it’s illegal to say, “I wish someone would kill the president of the united states”?

Im not saying it, im just letting you know that it’s illegal. Like a public service announcement.
