I’ll go first…
My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024
-
Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general.
-
Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago.
-
Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I’m on
-
Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don’t know how but there’s FediVideo.
-
Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker.
BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately
WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog…RIP.
I looked thru this blog hopeful that there would be protection against mod abuse. Instead you can get banned for downvoting? I don’t want to be looking over my back because some dipshit mod had a bad take. This is generating way too much analytical data on users. Communities don’t need empowered super mods treating users like numbers on a spreadsheet. Lemmy for sure has problems (ml) but this isn’t the answer.
Lemmy admins can already see who downvotes what, I’m sure they already ban accounts who systematically downvote their communities content
It’s a tool. If some admins power trip, well report them on [email protected]
Mods can also see votes in communities they moderate, lemmy-ui just doesn’t show the option (and no other client, to my knowledge, has the feature).
