You have ironically stated my reason for not by default holding all Lemmy users to the word blacklist in this comment:
If a community is to have autonomy it needs some consensus on rules and standards of behavior. If we don’t want to have an authority ruling over us, we need to have responsibility, hold each other accountable, and create an environment where the most vulnerable in our community feel protected and like people are actually going to fight for them.
the developers of Lemmy are not assholes
A-holes, perhaps they are not, specifically. But their stance on this antifeature is a very jerk-like move, on their end.
[Lenny is] a fork that [doesn’t] work well and isn’t Fediverse
Ooh interesting! There are key differences between Lenny and Lemmy? What functionality does Lemmy have that Lenny is missing?
I can see them trying to block Lenny sometime in the future tho
Does federation between Lemmy and Lenny not work properly?
Sounds like a lot to me! It allows for fewer restraints while posting.
Lemmy is okay, but it won’t be a completely usable tool until it allows open communication, which the devs are opposed to.
The only thing I really hate is the polarization. I like hearing different viewpoints from people who disagree with me, but oftentimes people will outright block you for disagreeing with them, or even associating with “the wrong people”.
What do you think I think you’re saying?
