And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

"It's so unfair!" ... as if the identical thing is not being done to literally everyone else all the time. Toddler logic.

A nuance that people often miss about lemmy.ml's authoritarian policies - whereby they ban people from communities they've never even seen before - is not that it is done, but that when it is it cites a hidden set of rules that are nowhere ever written down. Little kid logic, where the rules mean whatever they feel like in that moment, and if you don't like it then feel free to try to stop them.

Some people here are pushing for fascist Reddit 2.0, others for free-speech Voat, but most of us just want to get along somewhere in the middle without too much bother:-P.

My recollection is that Voat took a turn into being fascist Reddit 2.0 pretty quickly itself.

Turns out when you build a platform around anti-censorship you wind up with a small number of free speech enthusiasts and a large number of people who will be banned from any site with rules against hate speech.

Then when you have a site where 80% of the content is racism the 20% non racists leave.

Voat was so fucking toxic. Radioactive hate swamp.

Took about two seconds.

You mean these hidden rules at the top of the front page?

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 13 hours ago

Yes, you got me: by "hidden rules" I obviously meant the very highly visible, non-hidden ones, placed where nobody can miss them at the top of the page.

[–] SirHaxalot@nord.pub 6 points 19 hours ago

The rules only matter if the admins adhere to them and enforces them consistently.

Those hidden rules, shown openly and have working links. So hidden. I heard McDonald's hides the Big Mac from the public too.
