I quite enjoy it here. So far the culture seems pretty fine and It also feels like it’s unlikely a random, inexplicable, and harsh shift in views (like the animemes incident from reddit) will see me banned or something. I do think there can be such a thing as being too lenient with what’s allowed (if your bar lets in nazis then your bar is the nazi bar and all that), but it doesn’t seem to be a big issue here. The biggest problems (being shut out of other content) don’t come from this instance either, it’s other instances having weird hangups that paint them in a really bad light going forward, and that can be gotten around with a back up anyway if i ever need to doom scroll on the toilet at 3am.
It’s also got some cute and funny communities and just a old-school vibe to it that’s so much better than a Reddit knock off (but that might just be the fediverse). Like, I’m more likely to see a kaomoji then an emoji (ᵔ◡ᵔ)
Dunno how I didn’t notice this post, but I replied so I can assure you the nazi bar thing wont happen. We find those types super insufferable and they’re usually a hairpin’s trigger away from being mean and shitty to others, which we’ve addressed that in our rules. There’s plenty of places to get your culture war fix, we don’t want this place to turn into yet another site that peddles that tensions inflaming garbage.
We do allow humor that some say would be politically incorrect, but if it’s anything close to calling for violence against a group of people regardless of gender or race, or if they’re directing those jokes at someone for which they asked them to stop, and they continue, then they’re not welcome here.
Not to mention that us allowing loli/shota/cub content acts as a forcefield around us keeping those types at bay.
I’m pretty sure that worry is a bit of social media poisoning, honestly. All of Reddit’s competition died because of that issue, but back in the days of forums things never got that bad. The explicit oli acceptance will probably also help to keep things manageable these days.
