Forgot people whose only opinion is hating the website they're on.
I do not hate the concept of lemmy and the fediverse, But I'm also not going to pretend that lemmy at its current state isn't a circle jerk. Lemmy needs more diverse groups of people. Like GrammerPolice said above, most people who migrated from reddit were people with very strong stance on their opinions. And there's intense hostility to anything that is even slightly against what they believe in.
This is true, but at the same time, your posts on let me don't get buried as easily. And the karma hear truly doesn't matter.
It's mildly frustrating that you can't post anything that's even remotely close to positive about any use of AI, or any positive information whatsoever about Tesla over SpaceX without being said that you're sucking musks cock. But in those respects the only thing different between Lemmy and Reddit is the number of people that will come to your defense, and of course in Reddit if no one comes to your defense your post is basically buried.
You're all so far less likely to have a reasonable post here removed. Yes it still happens, yes a few of the communities are still moderated by biased enough individuals to delete your content but it's much less prevalent than it was at reddit.
That said, yeah if you are mostly conservative you are going to have a very bad time trying to soapbox here
'karma' has the same use here just as in reddit imo. it buries your post/comment but it is not as amplified as on reddit only because of the rate of new content made in lemmy. And when the mods get tired of modding in the future they would just bot it based on ... votes.
iirc someone already made a moderation bot for that.
Yeah, if we start introducing algorithms here it will lose any advantage.
...how exactly do you think posts and comments are sorted right now?
There's a difference between sorted versus hiding a reply because it has too low of a score, I don't think it's equivalent.
