Go to lemmy.world and have a look at the Sidebar. That's where instances publish info like that. And they list several methods to contact them, there.

I don't think so. It's a bit like being bullied and your friends are being bullied, too. What do you do? Leave the room and be happy they bully your friends and not you? Keep silent which ultimately enables them? No. You're being vocal about it. You warn your friends not to go in there. And you try to do sth about it. In the end it's the bullies who should leave, not the nice people. Or the whole place is doomed and just getting worse.
My first idea would be to have users report posts and ping a random sample of like 20 active and currently online users of the community and have them decide (democratically). That way prevents brigading and groups collectively mobbing or harassing other users. It'd be somewhat similar to a jury in court. And we obviously can't ask everyone because that takes too much time, and sometimes content needs to be moderated asap.
You're 100% right OP. Don't let the people tell you it's a you problem and you should leave. It's exactly like you said (in my opinion.) If at all, it's the bad people who should leave. Not the nice ones and the ones calling out the bullshit.
Nothing changes if the just people keep silent and let bigotry or whatever just happen. It just makes the whole place become worse. And I'd say it's warranted to speak up or do something. And as far as I heard you're not the only one complaining.
Are you referring to me or BigFig? I'm neither a mile (I'm European, so we use the metric system), nor a mole. If you make me choose an animal, I'd like to be an alpaca. And I'd be willing to do a captcha to prove to you that I'm not a bot.
Thanks for spreading the word. We get these complaints every few weeks. More people need to be educated and move away from these instances to make the Threadiverse a better place.
services.tabby.enable = true;
services.tabby.acceleration = "cuda";
? Could be another way.
Fair enough. I, too, think parts of dead bodies aren't collector items or to be used for random purposes. Maybe for education and science. And with consent. But that's it.
Mainly sugar, oil and fat and carbs from the wheat.
Yeah and there were also lots of PC magazines around then. I'm from Germany, too. I bought some Suse version with a similar version number as part of a (to me kinda expensive) PC magazine. Proceeded to wreck the bootloader, then delete most of the files on the PC by accident. Had to copy lots of things from my friends on the next LAN party to get everything back. Took me several attempts and re-installations to get a proper dual-boot. Mainly due to hardware woes. But it convinced me immediately. I'm a Linux user since then. I remember playing all the small games that were either on the CD or small enough to download. Like KTuberling(Kartoffelknülch), TuxRacer, some billiard and marble games, clones of arcade games, Sokoban... Every day a new enticing game to explore. (I was a kid back then.) And I also drew pictures, did the 10 fingers typing lectures and read a lot of books and documentation about the inner workings of Linux. And I was always interested in programming and messing with computers. I already had a C++ for Dummies book at that point. So eventually I got more into programming and constructing silly HTML pages. But I think that was early 2000s. And I remember playing lots of CounterStrike at that point. Just at friends places, because at home we still had dialup and it took us a bit into the 2000s until we got that PC that was able to run Windows 98, ME and then Linux.
And am I supposed to let other people be subject to that, too? Let people like that drag down Lemmy as a whole? Shouldn't I have a nice and welcoming place on the internet for me and my friends?
Do you like echo chambers? If you want my perspective: I have until now recommended Lemmy to exactly zero of my friends. Because of things like this. Lemmy has quite some potential. But it just has so many issues to tackle and the culture here just isn't what appeals to "normal" people. If other people share my experience, that's exactly why Lemmy still is below 50k active users and super small.
Sure. I moved away from the .ml communities a few weeks ago because I think it's the right thing to do (for me). It's just dragging down everyone and making Lemmy a worse place. Like we see constantly with all the posts like this. Should we (the people who want more than an echo chamber, and want fair and honest discussions) all abandon Lemmy?
