Lots of those fan wikis just link to other websites. It’s entirely possible to do that.
If you’re on a Star Trek wiki, why would you want to go to a page that’s almost exclusively talking about Star Wars information in relation to some actor other?
Throwing shit at a wall would be a better alternative to the Fandom wiki site.
If you consider the basic concept, they’ve been a thing since we started grouping together as communities. There have always been people who power trip. The internet just made them less effectual.
That’s the beauty of the fediverse, if the instance you’re on isn’t doing what you want, you can move to another one. Or create your own.
I’d say that’s a pretty clear indicator of the popularity of decisions. Saying “No, you can’t do that, cause I don’t want that” is putting your desires above the desires of others.
Then feel free to go to threads or somewhere that does federate with them. You don’t have to stay on a particular instance if they don’t federate with something you want to engage with.
That’s your freedom of choice.
So… admins aren’t free to choose? Why are you trying to take away admins freedom of choice? Sounds kind of authoritarian to me.
If you haven’t noticed them doing dirty or damaging things for the last twenty years, feel free to engage with them.
There’s more than enough evidence to show their intentions are far from pure.
You feeling grody about it doesn’t make it not ok either, though…
I have NSFW turned on and the last NSFW post I saw was literally just a picture of a cat.
Well, if you’re from the US, then that is radical left-wing extremism, sadly. Because we’re making huge leaps backward in some places as much as we’re taking huge steps forward in others.
I think, like most people who seem to bitch about NSFW stuff on their feed, is that they want to filter out all the stuff they’re not into and leave all the stuff they are.
Which, while I sympathize with, is something they need to deal with themselves rather than something that someone should be doing for them. Back when reddit had NSFW content on all, there were a bunch of subreddits that I didn’t want to see. So I blocked them. Because my opinions are my responsibility, not anyone else’s.
That seems like one community amongst many, not the instance as a whole. Though, admittedly (as long as they’re aware of it) allowing it is an implication of support.
Whats the implication you’re referring to? I’m not completely familiar with lemmynsfw so if its something patently obvious you’ll have to forgive me for not knowing already.
“We don’t negotiate with terrorists” is a good motto in movies, but in reality we negotiate with terrorists all the time, because lives are more important than pride.
The truth of reality is that compromise is the best way to find peaceful coexistence between people. The trick is to find the balance where you don’t give up too much without getting anything in return. Sadly it’s often hard to find that balance, and trial and error is often the most effective method, because so few people are willing to just discuss their insecurities and find an equitable compromise.
Hobbies are often worthwhile. Maybe not financially, but often psychologically.
Poorly supported, forced integration with other google services, facebook was good enough TM for most.
Meta taking their ball and going home some time a ways down the road is much less an issue than them dominating content by being there in the first place. They will have their own moderation and content rules that will shape the content that flows out from them, which will shape each community that interacts with it. Considering the very mercenary approach they have to that, it means that content will be far more monetized and monetizable. Which means both sanitization and pandering, neither of which benefits freedom of thought and discussion.
Considering the huge influx of people coming to places like Lemmy or Kbin to escape that kind of situation (reddit), it may mean the death of the community that has grown so far, before Meta even considers leaving.
Considering pornographic content isn’t allowed on threads… not really much choice in that matter.
Shal’kek nem’ron!
