Based on stuff like this and various comments from them in the past the lemmy.world admins I'm pretty sure wank themselves raw over becoming the new reddit
By which I mean, eventually having a corporate structure, obtaining funding from VCs, the whole disgusting thing
deleted by creator
Check to see which instances haven't defederated from Burggit and you'll figure out who's a pedo real quick
When do they incorporate feds into the moderation team, is that before or after they add pedo comms?
im pretty sure on the nsfw lemmy instance there is one about girls that look as young as physically possible while being 18 and it's named after jailbait which i hope i dont need to explain is pedo shit
Lmfao top post on that instance
“AI-created children count as children and are forbidden content”
Volcel police was a good idea, horniness is a path to the dark side
نحن شرطة VolCel.بناءا على تعليمات الهيئة لترويج لألعاب الفيديو و النهي عن الجنس نرجوا الإبتعاد عن أي أفكار جنسية و الحفاظ على حيواناتكم المنويَّة حتى يوم الحساب. اتقوا الله، إنك لا تراه لكنه يراك.
This is actually a move away from the Reddit model. They want to ban all the tech nerds that discuss stuff like free open source software and the evils of advertising and tracking to try appeal to a wider audience of more, for lack of a better word, 'ordinary' people. They're not going after the old school Reddit demographic with this, it's about appealing to newer Reddit and twitter users who don't care much about these kind of things.
That's a terrible approach. Everyone knows the cycle is:
Innovators > Early adopters > Early Majority > Late Majority > Laggards
Trying to jump straight to early and late majority is literally pointless. You must target the kinds of people that will be the earliest users. The switch from this crowd to the "majority" crowd literally has its own name and many many books, it's called "crossing the chasm" because there's a giant hole in between the early adopters and the majority that is very difficult to bridge.
I think that the Lemmy dot world admins think they already have the technology and features to make cross the chasm. And can just attract new users with this mature technology, such as the latest Lemmy clients. There are developers leveraging their old Reddit userbase, of which there were millions of users, to install their new Lemmy clients, which seem functionally identical to their old Reddit apps. And a lot of these new users are going straight to Lemmy dot world. They believe the ecosystem is already there.
I and you disagree of course, they need to attract more active users and posters first, before they can branch out and cross the chasm. And those active users are usually tech nerds.
The features are irrelevant what matters is the content infrastructure. This infrastructure exists elsewhere and delivers the content. There's no reason for people to switch to something that does not deliver the content except being mad at reddit (which the majority don't care enough about to follow through on).
The infrastructure that matters are the communities themselves and the populations of people that submit to them. You can't just magically transfer them, there has to be a slow and steady build up over time. You need the dedicated early people to build the foundation that will then get you the later hogs.
The issue isn't technology. It's content and people. You don't get the later people without the early people. It's so easy to see that there's a process of groups of people that should be targeted one by one after another. There's a roadmap already laid out by multiple successful iterations of the same bloody thing historically.
It's quite funny considering before
invasion lemmy was half commies and half tech nerds. And now .world hates both lol.
