  • I read all your posts on this thread and honestly… I am shook. There is very clearly some resentment there, resentment that goes beyond the interests of the community and beyond the points of the OP.

    There are always going to be issues with this type of software. You should raise them appropriately, on their repository, so they get fixed in the next release. That is how FLOSS works. Do not use that to divide the community. We are not big enough for that yet.

    Instead of being shady and manipulative, how about you create an issue/post with the current lemmy bugs/troubles and give an honest chance to the devs?

    And you are mad because of documentation? I mean, I understand, it must be infuriating, specially being the biggest community. I understand the stress. Had it happened to me, I would have been mad as well. But come on. Be better than that. Documentation is text. Just send a PR with the correct configs. That should be easy. Sure, you hurt, but use that to improve the community, not to divide it.

    And check the upvote/downvote ratio of all your comments here. You have more downvotes than upvotes. That is the community speaking.

    And I wonder @[email protected], is he speaking for Lemmy.world with his comments?



  • If he is in such a homophobic environment, I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it. Don’t start with “Hey, wanna go on a date with me?”. Maybe do instead “Hey, do you want to go for a run with me?”. And just go from there. Or maybe just go straight for the date idea… I don’t know… You are the best and only person to know the right way to go about it.

    Regarding the interest. The dude is spooning you and you sit on his lap and all that. I think it is fair to say that there is some interest there.

    I should preface by saying that I am the one who created this community on Lemmy.

    I think the term “gay bro” was originally associated with mainstream masculinity. In my mind, however, it has since morphed into a more “all sizes fit” category, no masculinity needed. If you are more fem, you are still part of the gaybros community.

    I want this community to be a place to discuss all things related to the gay life. A bro is someone who is there for you, who is kind and compassionate and who has your back. A typical girl can be a bro, there is no need for masculinity.



















  • Why are you moderating so many communities though? I checked your profile. You are moderating like 60 communities. Power trip much?

    You are moderating both “Democrat” and “Republican”… lol…

    And you are not even building the communities, you just created them with the sole purpose of being the mod.


  • Thank you for the insightful reply. I think the “freedom to offend” comes down to personal opinion. I am honestly against it. I understand your viewpoint, and I am all for general freedom of speech, as it is an important metric for an improving society. However, imagine a scenario in which removing oneself from the situation is hard. Say a school. Should student A be free to offend student B? It is my view that student B should feel safe in school. He/She should not have to wake up and dread going to school.
