Maybe you should take a break from the Internet, bud

Maybe I shouldn't have used the term vibe coded. I apologize.

Honestly you're lucky that you weren't instance banned.

This is what happens when you decide to vibecode a service with zero attention to safety or web development. This is why you don't immediately jump onto a new service without it being vetted properly. Now one of the worst communities on the Internet is in possession of over a hundred thousand women's driving licenses and faces. This is going to be an absolute disaster.

I'm using Squawker, which is a FOSS twitter client: https://github.com/j-fbriere/squawker

After conduwuit died, I just completely stopped using Matrix. I have zero faith in the current developers of these forks to not do the same bullshit that June did.

Prosody is probably your best bet. It's modular, easily configurable and is basically fully compliant with the XMPP specification. For your bridges however, I'd reccomend not going fully into XMPP because there are very little bridges available for it. As for dockerization, apparently they are not currently updating their dockerfiles, so this is another thing to take into account.

This entire site is so fucking pathetic. The two of you are arguing over fucking pride flags on police cars. Both of you need to grow up.

this post made me commit sewerslide

100%. I despise most of the moderators and admins on Lemmy because they use their power to ostracize and delegitamize the voice of others whilst acting as if they are the "good guys" and not as bad as mod forces of conventional social media.

Is there a way to build a "safe space" without building an echo chamber online? Is that even a valuable thing to build?

It's impossible to build a safe space even with echo chambers. Many "safe spaces" such as blahaj.zone are extremely hostile to outsiders, which causes the entire term to fall in vain. The paradox of intolerance proves that aiming for tolerance in an online platform is futile and simply causes asymmetric information to become the norm, promoting bullying of people with dissenting opinions. Literal fascism.

Are niche Communities correct for banning anyone who downvotes?

A community who bans people for downvoting is probably a shithole regardless.

Most importantly, what would it take to change this?

Nothing. The Fediverse is completely unable to solve this because humans are flawed. Every single instance administrator is biased, and being able to run your own instance and ban whoever you want is a recipe for disaster.

Just speak your mind and if people don't like what you say then create your own instance. Nobody should be pressured into a hivemind.

For everyone who has never played roblox before, this headline is slightly misleading. Ever since Roblox came out it's had a filter on for all players regardless of age. They are letting you have fully unfiltered chats if you verify your age.
