Have noticed a definite increase in posts in c/commrequest for subreddit specific comms. Also noticed posts about :libs: flocking to lemmy.

Can we please not? No site specific comms. No posts in the subreddits offering lifeboats.

We’re either going to be outnumbered by libs or awful ideological niche folks that are just going to completely ruin the entire vibe and function of the site.

It happened before (vcj). Don’t let it happen again.

    Constantly rewriting the history of this website's historic abuse and harassment of multiple lifeboat communities really ruins the vibe for me

      abuse and harassment

      These words mean something, you are on a niche internet site.

        They do mean something. Sorry you can't take this seriously enough to consider the communities y'all treated so relentlessly terribly that they had to leave if they weren't straight up banned

            Here we go, getting called an asshole bc I won't accept history being rewritten about how a community I modded got harassed and abused off this site. That's called victim blaming btw. Sorry my tone wasn't good enough for y'all not to be bigoted

              Here's the history:

              1. Vegans have a comm on here that exists just fine
              2. VCJ is invited
              3. Massive drama ensues that keeps popping up every now and then

                That's not the fucking history, revisionist loser. That's just what you tell yourselves so you never improve. VCJ was just the last community to get run off, not the first.

                And vegans didn't cause the drama. You only tolerate us when we're silent and have no power because you hate nonhumans and you hate when you're asked to stop hurting others.

          I take abuse and harassment seriously enough to not call every internet slapfight abusive.

          A major part of this site's vibe is not conflating the internet with the real world, and at least recognizing that being terminally online is bad.

            Listen, you weren't the fucking target. You don't know what the community went through. You weren't privy to any of it. You're speaking out of total ignorance
