Critics warned it advances anti-trans rhetoric

Hmmm yes this floor appears to made of floor.

If it's a particular community being targeted, I'd probably start with people who aren't subscribed or don't contribute but camp out downvoting everything anyway. I mean, to me it sounds very much like this user's community is being blatantly targeted, so I'm not sure I understand why trends still need to be researched before anything can be done about it.

But I'm not an admin and I actually don't know what tools you have available to you. I was just under the impression that you could see when people who don't actually belong to a certain community go there just to downvote everything. Reddit managed to make people fear consequences for downvote brigading though, not sure how they pulled it off.

If this really is something that admins on various Lemmy instances are just too helpless to do anything about, then I apologise for directing my anger towards admins. And then I don't know what the solution is either because without any sort of assistance in the matter, women are just going to give up even trying to set up spaces here (actually seems like that's already happened for the most part). And so the culture will just never change.

Just went there. Top post is politics, next post is about a touchy feely doctor, there's a few about body image, more politics, a reminder to not use period tracker apps because the USA government is literally taking women's rights over their own bodies away, dating advice, more politics.

Looks to me like a women-oriented subreddit for discussing women's issues, just like it always has. Could you point out some of these 'femcels' there to me? Should they be praising the Trump administration, swooning over pervert doctors and sharing Andrew Tate screenshots instead?

Maybe a lot are a bit angry there but I think they've got every fucking right to be angry right now. Don't you?

Based on what I've learnt, what's holding Lemmy back is that a large amount of users are fucking man babies that brigade any women-oriented communities and drive women in general away from this place, while admins just sit back and allow them to. The Lemmy mouse needs a fedora.

Save to documents surely? It's a document

I didn't think that any Windows related software was actually aware that the 'Documents' folder is supposed to be for documents. Because my 'Documents' folder gets used as a dumping ground for any old program to drop their shit in. Even though there's literally dedicated folders for app data and saved games.

Personally I make my own 'Home' folder with my own pictures, movies, documents etc. folders because whether it's Windows, Linux or Android, the concept of having your own user folder for your own things is a joke because developers don't respect that and just dump their files anywhere.

Still torn on Haley and Leah, years later. If Haley didn't exist, Leah would be the obvious choice but Haley is a character that I didn't like at first, that just took me more and more by surprise with every cutscene. And made me realise that there was more to this snob that insulted my clothes when we first met.

Abigail is also my type but comes across as a little on the young side. Haley, Emily and Leah read as late 20s and up to me, Abigail is fresh out of school I'm pretty sure.

Haven't played in a while, actually. Been itching for a playthrough again but need to brace myself for the setting up of mods and completion lists first.

Edit: honestly if I could romance Abigail's mother Caroline and steal her from Pierre, I'd be pretty happy.

We don't need to reach 1M MAU, but having 100k would already be a nice improvement

Definitely agreed with this. And less always (understandably) angry political posters, more escapists that want to chat about movies, games etc. It becomes like that snake eating itself because people that want a break from real life come here and see nothing but the same 24 news cycle as everywhere else. And then, speaking for myself, searching up certain niche communities and finding them either non-existent or with 3 posts from 1 and a half years ago.

I've been thinking of porting a couple of my old review posts over here from my banned but not yet closed Reddit account. Just so that, for example, the next time someone visits the Ghibli community there'll be 4 posts instead of 3.

And the Sonic communities are pretty disappointing too, considering I'm always seeing it mentioned in the wild these days. Makes me think (or hope) that there's a lot of people like me wishing there was more activity in these areas.

Reddit is sadly still unbeaten in searching up a TV show that you enjoy and finding an entire community built around it. And those communities never took a lot of members. So it shouldn't be impossible here.

I'm too new to be making these kinds of suggestions and I'm far from the moderator type myself but multiple times throughout this week, I've been thinking that it would be pretty cool if there was an AskBlåhaj. Or even just general Ask Lemmy based here, that could be asking for unwanted attention from shitty people on other instances though.

Not even 24 hours after seeing this post, I've seen someone else getting the snark and a non answer for a simple question. And also a Blåhaj user.

As much of a public bathroom as it could be, AskReddit was pretty fun for 'silly' questions and general chatting. And a nice place for new users to hang around and gain karma and confidence. But with the gatekeeper neckbeardy types around, maybe what it needs on Lemmy is to be in an instance with rules that promote friendliness and good vibes.

Just an idea to throw out there anyway.

Yeah that's been one of the funniest parts to watch. It's been moderators versus admins but not users versus admins. Personally I think it's a pretty simple concept that the instance rules come first, then the community rules. I'm not surprised by anything I'm seeing or hearing on the admin side because I think it's pretty clear what to expect when you enter the place and read the sidebar.

Well, I can now say that I've been around to witness my first big users versus moderators versus admins battle royale on Lemmy. And within my first week here! It's been fairly entertaining and also feels like I should have an achievement badge on my profile now. Just need the next achievement of being a participant in one of these matches.

Is that really the same thing though? Just for a random example of the first actor that popped in my head, Chloe Grace Moretz probably doesn't have as big a social media following as Skibidi Kid or whereas I could probably find random people in the streets in the 3rd world country that I live in if I just had to start bringing up her name without any further details. Whereas Skibidi Kid is only known by the other Skibidi kids on that particular platform and probably won't even be a big deal next year, like Dab Kid.

I used to see people express the same sentiment towards YouTubers and it's the same deal there IMO. SaltyPeeDrinker or whatever might cause a big ruckus in certain circles on the internet and have a bunch of incel fans but outside of the internet and in the real world, nobody actually gives a fuck. Not in remotely the same way as with movie stars, music stars, sports stars etc. These people aren't that important or significant, they're just another feature of online brainrot.

Edit: I feel like online 'content' creators are related to actors and musicians in the same way that AI art is related to human art or reality TV is related to Breaking Bad.

Or the right wing way is just to say one thing and do another thing. Honestly to me as a non-American, it's pretty weird that the right wingers have latched onto this 'free speech' thing and that everyone just goes along with it because to me, things like free speech and freedom of expression always seemed like liberal or left wing ideals.

These guys talk about free speech, then burn a pile of schoolbooks that spread the 'librul' agenda and call for anyone that isn't white and Christian to be removed from their sight. The only small part of free speech that they're interested in is being able to call groups of people subhuman and they don't just want that sort of free speech, they want freedom from consequences too and act like getting punched in the mouth for saying the wrong thing in the wrong place isn't a thing in real life either. And more than that, based on the extreme pearl clutching when the 'tOlERanT lEFt' ever comes down from their high horses, they want that free speech for themselves and themselves only.

Basically they're liars, bad faith trolls and people that actually believe that their bigotry means that they stand for 'freedom'. They also 'care about the kids' but want to marry and fuck them and send them to the mines. So isn't it obvious by now that everything is opposite day with these people?
