My guy, you’re not paying attention. I’m wishing you the best of luck in your endeavors, and your response is, as is typical of Lemmy, to find a reason to start a fight over it. Who even does that?

I’m not gonna give you the fight that you want.

Good luck in the future.

Well, I suppose that’s just as well. Lemmy’s way too buggy and ill-conceived to really be worthwhile for hosting anyway.

I wish you the best of luck regardless. And be careful: there are some really, really terrible people on .world – I really wouldn’t stay long if I were you.

I thought you made your own instance.

Not always. Say Ten Forward has a problem with .world in the future, for example. If Ten Forward defederates, they would cut out a large part of their userbase because most Lemmy users are .world users, and won’t move for any reason. And, if Ten Forward stays federated with .world, that means their feed will be inundated with .world crap all the time instead of what they want: Star Trek stuff. People can’t and won’t just switch to a local feed; that’s not the way people work and Lemmy doesn’t work with the way people use the site, breaking it.

Meaning one instance will always dominate the others, and that’s wrong.

I’m not knocking on what Stamets is doing. In fact, it’s clearly the best thing he could have done.

That doesn’t change the fact that the way Lemmy is as a community and as a platform is one of the main reasons why shit like this keeps happening.

Nah, I do, and Lemmy’s promise was to serve as a meaningful alternative to Reddit where powermodding like what you experienced wouldn’t happen, and it failed miserably. You’re also not the only person to see how terrible Lemmy has turned out to be or who has suffered because of it. It’s not just your former instance crap like this has happened on, you see.

I hope TenForward turns out to be a better place and that you have a better experience.

Shit like this is why Lemmy is garbage and why you all need to take better care in vetting who gets to participate in your websites. It should not have been possible for Reddit powermods to infiltrate and take over Lemmy in the first place.

I am sorry you are bearing the brunt of abuse on this platform too. Lemmy clearly doesn’t hold up to its promise.

Not having a license isn’t actually an issue; you can save a lot of money by not driving a car.

This guy is probably just depressed and the lack of sympathy and support from others is only exacerbating and perpetuating the problem. People like him need love and support from external sources to be able to heal their inner wounds and fix their problems.

Life stuff like what he’s listing is never the actual source of the problem.

Electric cars, of course

Yes, they are inherent issues. You can’t control who goes on that bus and therefore can’t guarantee the safety of passengers. You can’t control whether buses break down or if the routes will change or not, so you can’t guarantee riders will get to work on time, if at all. And in many cities, bus service is so poor that jobs will not hire people who ride the bus for those reasons.

You also can’t stop people from spreading bedbugs and disease, and we all saw how well you reacted to that during covid.

Accept that you’re just wrong on this. No matter how much you want buses to be a viable solution, they just aren’t.

And never mind the rampant spread of bedbugs and disease, being exposed to violence and sexual assault, risking being arrested simply for angering the bus driver, being made late to work or even missing it entirely because of bus breakdowns, route changes or cancellations, or any number of problems that are more easily rectified with an electric car or a bike

If they don’t, I’m out
