Anyone know why there seems to be an uptick in transphobia on lemmy.world? Rule (lemmy.ml)

Been seeing more transphobia in general on lemmy lately, largely on lemmy.world communities

The incels have moved in too. The place is feeling more and more like Reddit.

I'm using the block option a lot.

Oh no, the fediverse is becoming successful. (•_•)

Props to those developing mod tools!

I remain optimistic. Instances should align with the views of a user, and I believe in the long-term people will sort themselves onto instances to make your blocking easier.

Yes and no.

As far as I can tell, the federative model is working as intended, and allows instances to moderate, administrate, and federate as their admins and/or communities wish to.

When I switched to Lemmy a while ago, there was a noticeable spike in alt-right instances and activity, but that quickly went away as everyone noticed and blocked users, then defederated with such instances.

The fediverse model isn’t perfect. No model will be. But it’s a damn sight more effective and responsive than any social media model I’ve seen elsewhere.
