I didn’t realize “low effort posts” was just lemmy.ml for “anything I don’t like.”

Nah, it’s always been like that.

I have six communities. I’m not gonna pretend I put in a ton of legwork promoting them, but they’re dead af.

Is this bait?

So then the government just sends the military in to quell rebellions by unarmed/poorly-armed citizens.

That’s because people in cyberpunk settings actually have the volition and guts to make change happen, and to put themselves through adversity against all the odds. People in the real world probably won’t attend a peaceful protest in their area for something they support if they aren’t in the mood.

Lament users:

The issue is that a community on any platform is made by the average users, not the moderators. If you splinter a community into three competing communities, you will probably severely damage its integrity as a whole. It’s similar to the issue that some Discord servers have, where they tell people to take discussion from the main channel into different channels. More often than not, this kills the discussion because few people actually move to a different channel, with most opting to drop the discussion entirely.

A few people shouldn’t have complete ownership over something that exists because the people under them make it so.

Every platform should have some mechanism to remove troublesome moderators.

I was playing Goldeneye in the early 2000s and I still couldn’t get out of diamond in Overwatch.

Horseshit. Lemmy is plastered in content about climate change, the Middle East, and other depressing shit.

Send them to the office? Sure. The principal also has those two options, for the most part. Suspending students is something we only do in very rare circumstances, but they really, really try to avoid it, because so often, kids are acting out because of stuff at home, so suspending them only makes the behaviour worse.

As someone who was bullied all the way until the start of high school, I would probably look the other way if my hypothetical children seriously hurt someone over repeated bullying. I think any alternative is better than that for everyone involved.
