That is his first cousin

It’s easy to dismiss what you just stated because most people know the truth. There’s plenty of blogposts and posts in general about the cultures and experiences people run up against. It’s very much an echo chamber and homogenous and defederation strengthens that- show us otherwise. I’m happy to be wrong . I’ve seen plenty of spamming of negative comments and people harassed out of the space and projects shutdown. I can assure you people aren’t shutting down projects and leaving the space because people asked them nicely

I don’t believe it was the size either despite what many in the comments state. I believe it’s been several compounding factors. For me it’s karma and karma farming. People only do things for attention when they have reason to believe it will provide benefits for them. People do what they are allowed to do. When you go to an establishment where the cultures and rules are set people are unlikely to deviate. I couldn’t reasonably get upset at an establishment that requires certain attire, no loud voices, limited alcoholic beverages and believe I can and should do the opposite. If more subreddits operated like such then Reddit would be very different. Unfortunately, that doesn’t align with Reddits goals of content and users pretty much at any cost to make the money go up.

So not unlike the groupthink you encounter on the Fediverse? Where it’s even more perverse due to defederation and due to the networks being much smaller

Unsure what you mean as the link works for me but here https://archive.ph/vd9um

It should be now

Can you show me where Lemmy does this? I don’t natively come across podcast content from Castopod, nor do I see PeerTube content unless someone adds a link to a post. I don’t see Lemmy directing people to creators, writers, musicians, etc. What about articles ? I rarely see if at all articles that come from blogging instances

Ethics and morals according to whom? There are plenty of toxic people & groups on the Fediverse. We don’t need defederation getting in the way of things. What makes the most sense is encouraging governments to move their sites over to providers that integrate open protocols. That way the information on their sites can make it onto feeds and it’s no another social platform they need to juggle.

Lots of people are getting pissed at it being closed source. I get that it isn’t the norm. But, there are closed-source paid software on the Fediverse. This isn’t anything new. Also, there’s ways to disagree and share opinions without being hostile - we are not children here nor teenagers lacking a fully developed brain
