u are right that mods banend pepole for talking against the dem talk here. lemmy def tries to stifle voices. it’s better now, but befor eelection, it was so blatent. Anyone who supported thrid party were attacked. but yoru tracking program still sounds icky.

still seems to me u guys are doing it for witchhunting. if someone doesn’t like someone they can just ban them. you two going on and on about writing a program and using ai to catch peopel you don’t like is icky. I’ll be one of the people voting against this if it ever goes wide on lemmy. no thanks. u all need to touch grass, ur way too caught up in lemmy

farking

this is gonna be fun to watch! i hope it happens

so can u tell me more about this project wen u have time? I previously commented to you that I think it’s sick. but are you using it to attack users or to find out bad mod actions and proof of mods and admins and people like @[email protected] who obsess and witchhunt people they disagree with?

happened plenty and you guys still witchhunt people who didn’t seem to worship everything dem lol luckilly lemmy is so dencentralize that they don’t have to be silenced no matte rhow much u wish they were

I’ve built some of the more important tools already which allow me to pull the entire comment history of a user and perform significant sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, etc… but some aspects aren’t reliable enough yet to be completely useful.

this sounds gross and very much like witch-hunting and stalking. yes, all comments are public but u coming up w a tool just to find someones and analyze and make judgement on them seems gross and out of line. think of how fasicst and controling that sounds. what if some republican was doing that and bragged about it? think about that

Yep! And it’s about time Lemmy started to realize this. Because for the longest time, Lemmy was in denial about this. In fact, saying what you just said, would get you banned in this sub real quick just last year.

Since karma isn’t tracked,

Some third party apps do track Lemmy downvotes though. And I’ve seen plenty of obnoxious posters bring up someones “downvote count” in conversation–just so they can try to win their argument.

We just need more people posing shit, the fact that one or two users can dominate my feed if they choose to is not ideal.

That’s because so many on Lemmy would rather downvote than post anything.

People here are way bigger smug assholes than even Reddit.

Yep, and I am legit shocked about that. I still have a burner reddit account that I go to, and honestly, as much crap as reddit gets, I see way more assholes and ban-happy people here. On reddit someone gets mad at you or your opinion, and they just block you.

Here, a lot of posters who dislike ya will refuse to block you. Instead they’ll follow you and downpost every single post you make. I never had stalkers like that on Reddit.

Like you, I was an early fan. And even tried to talk my gf into getting on Lemmy. The other day, she finally decided to, and I talked her out of it and told her to just stick with Reddit. lol

NOTHING is stopping a conservative from coming here and making cogent, factual arguments, aside from their own fragility.

Except for all the Lemmys saying that no conservatives should be allowed on Lemmy. I have seen conservatives try to ask a question. Then so many immediately jump to calling the poster a sealioning nazi, that they just get run off. Lemmy is one of the more hateful places I have seen.

I’m not conservative by the way, so you all don’t have send me nazi dm’s.

You don’t have to subscribe to political communities if you don’t want to see political discussion.

True but it seems like the majority of Lemmys like attaching anything and everything to something political. I saw some post about a squirrel or something, just chiling in the heat. Supposed to be cute. Immediately devolved into how fat the squirrel looked and how it must be a MAGA squirrel. Then the conversation just devolved into “cheeto man”(stupidist overused Lemmy term ever!) jokes over and over.

Also, Lemmy: why the fuck do you all think saying “cheeto man” is so hilarious? It’s something that 2nd graders would snicker at. Once. And you all say it over and over. WTF?! No wonder you all can’t get girlfriends.

Zoroastrians

Zoroastrians for the win. I never thought I’d see that word mentioned on here!

Votes and vote manipulation are destroying Lemmy.

The right wing instances are just defederated from this larger federated group because the people on them were unable to follow the rules of other instances.

I don’t think it’s just that. I have seen plenty of people say that no conservative content should be allowed on Lemmy. At all.

Go post a conservative article in c/politics and see what happens. Some of the DM’s you’ll get are actually reportable to the FBI. The anti-conservative streak here is extreme. I’ve reported some of the DM’s I get to the police, and I’m not even conservative, but just because I advocate 3-party voting. People on here can be insane.

I’ve seen plenty of pitchforks go after posters. Even when it’s a neutral article that talks about something positive a conservative politician did or said.

It’s just as much a left-wing echo chamber as Truth Social is a right-wing one - and that’s a problem in both cases.

Very much so. And it seems to be getting even worse lately. I mostly post socialist and third party stuff, but if I dare say I don’t like a democrat or something, I get automatic “YOU’RE ACTUALLY A TRUMPER!! MAGA-NAZI!!!”

Bans and hateful DM’s. All because I don’t like the 2-party system. lol

I know that Reddit doesn’t outright ban Lemmy talk, but on my reddit profile, I updated it with my Lemmy username link. I got banned from reddit a couple of hours later. No reason given. And I hadn’t made any recent posts. Ban reason was “violating rules.” lol

Good, because .world is one of the more toxic ban-happy instances in the fediverse.

Looks like republican christian nationalists have no problems shooting people then eh?? They don’t care about either side

Well he certainly didn’t have a problem with it. They also found a list with other names too, so it’s good they caught him before he did even more stuff. I thought for sure he’d off himself before he got caught. I’m glad he didn’t thought, because now he’ll spend rest of his life in prison like he deserves.

But violence isn’t the answer. For him or anyone else. And besides his senseless killings, they were also pointless. He didn’t stop politics at all.

So just like anyone would want to do this to republicans, nothing would change, and the politics of republicans won’t change at all. Luigi didn’t change anything at all.

I don’t think violence is the solution to anything in any circumstance, regardless of how many downvotes I get on Lemmy for saying that.

Lemmy, ya can stop with the nasty DM’s to me; I’m not even republican! lol
