This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @[email protected] and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
Hey Menu, I don’t know if you were one of the ones that downvoted me or not, but I was wondering if you might be able to help me understand why people think the option to shadowban is such a bad idea?
Edit: What is going on here?! Someone please have mercy and explain…
I think you got downvoted because people were not looking for a way to make it ok for the racist instances to stay on join-lemmy.
I am not really familiar with shadowbannig, but users could just check their posts from another instance and find out about the ban.
Thank you for replying!
That wouldn’t be the point, but I don’t believe anyone cares to hear the details. No problem, I understand that.
Neither was I, of course. Thank you for this peek into the mentality.
