  • 100%. I despise most of the moderators and admins on Lemmy because they use their power to ostracize and delegitamize the voice of others whilst acting as if they are the “good guys” and not as bad as mod forces of conventional social media.

    Is there a way to build a “safe space” without building an echo chamber online? Is that even a valuable thing to build?

    It’s impossible to build a safe space even with echo chambers. Many “safe spaces” such as blahaj.zone are extremely hostile to outsiders, which causes the entire term to fall in vain. The paradox of intolerance proves that aiming for tolerance in an online platform is futile and simply causes asymmetric information to become the norm, promoting bullying of people with dissenting opinions. Literal fascism.

    Are niche Communities correct for banning anyone who downvotes?

    A community who bans people for downvoting is probably a shithole regardless.

    Most importantly, what would it take to change this?

    Nothing. The Fediverse is completely unable to solve this because humans are flawed. Every single instance administrator is biased, and being able to run your own instance and ban whoever you want is a recipe for disaster.

    Just speak your mind and if people don’t like what you say then create your own instance. Nobody should be pressured into a hivemind.
