The fediverse is small, and thats both a blessing and a curse - one of its several blessings is that in a smaller space we all individually have a bigger impact on what the culture of this space is like.
On this comm (and on lemmy broadly) there’s a lot of discussion about how to grow the fediverse, what to improve, but an easy thing you can do for the fediverse is right in front of us-
-
Be kind
-
Ask people what they think, and why
-
Approach folks you disagree with with curiosity rather than hostility (EDIT: no, this is not specifically referring to Nazis. I get it, they’re the first thing that comes to mind. I’m not telling you to approve of Nazis I’m just saying be kind to your fellow lemmites)
-
Engage sincerely
-
Ask yourself if there’s something nice you can say
-
Make this small space worth being in
A platform lives or dies by what’s available on said platform and often we have this conversation in the context of “content” or posts - and we may never have as much content as reddit does. But content and posts aren’t the only thing this kind of platform offers- it also offers people. It offers community, and human interaction.
Culture and community is lemmy and the fediverse’s biggest differentiator, and we all have a role to play in shaping the culture of this space.
The biggest thing you can do to help the fediverse is make it a place worth being.
Not really. I gave sources of Ukrainian genocide, and it got removed. Y’all in the general sense, if you dont identify as a tankie, great. Maybe stop taking the bait then? Doesn’t feel like it from where I’m standing though.
Why was it removed.
Nah, that’s not it, it’s that I don’t fit the definition of tankie that you yourself articulated.
Yes, I was already pretty convinced that who you call a tankie is entirely based on “feeling”
Dunno, ask the mod who removed it. I gave a very, very basic definition and you’re acting like it can’t be expanded upon or further elaborated. How very rigid of you. So, I have actual work to go do, in my community, helping others and practicing the ideals that I preach. Good luck not doing any of that here 👍
By the way, if the word tankie offends you so much, it might be because you have more in common than you’d like.
I don’t know who the mod is or where it happened, what was the reason given in the modlog?
Yeah, and I don’t meet it. You do understand how definitions work, right?
Ok, good luck practicing manic left bashing in the community I suppose. I’m going to go do some volunteer work in mine.
Ok, fascist paedophile.
