Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don’t have alternatives on other instances.

Let’s discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

    Do you think I will somehow be blackmailed because you tagged me dude?

    I am downvoting all participants in this grassroots campaign against lemmy developers and diverse political opinions.

      Nothing in this discussion is against Lemmy developers, and no one is trying to silence their voices. It’s just about creating/finding alternatives for those that are not interested in interacting with that instance.

      Also, me calling you out is not “blackmailing”, just me ensuring that downvotes like yours don’t become a pile-on.

        … Do you think I can just keep the last comment in mind or something?

        The discussion takes place in a post linking https://lemmy.world/post/16211417 . Surely that brings it into scope? The linked post begins

        I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem

        That does seem hostile to me. As does the drive to try and split communities

        Also, me calling you out is not “blackmailing”, just me ensuring that downvotes like yours don’t become a pile-on.

        You have to be kidding me. Why would tagging people who downvoted a post prevent a pile-on of downvotes? Is it a lemmy bug? Or is it that some people who would want to downvote your post would be intimidated by being ‘called out’? Maybe my English is bad but vote->get called-out seems to fit ‘blackmail’ just fine.
