I expect things may be a little chaotic over the coming weeks and months.
I’m used to having people or memes I strongly disagree with on my feeds, I’m less used to AI porn on my feed…it’s come a long way since Leisure Suit Larry.
Reddit had plenty blatant transphobia, racism, misinformation, antivax stuff etc. But generally outwith particular subreddits it was mocked, argued against, downvoted, removed or users banned. This seems more like r/Science blocking everyone from r/Conservative.
There is rapid growth and communities are being stress tested with far more than just an increase in bandwidth.
As the Lemmy code improves and more 3rd party tools are made available, tailoring Lemmy feeds for the individual should become easier to mod and manage without server sized banhammers.
In the mean time I’m prepared to tolerate some chaos, porn and shit posting…and also understand if instances feel defederating others is the best course of action in the mean time.
Switching between instances is super easy in Jerboa or in browser and whilst this instance is the best I’ve found I will be keeping an eye on things from a few vantage points.
