Your comment reads like we chose to be attacked at scale by spam and propaganda bots. Everyone knows we don’t want it, the article raises the problem and describes why it hurts the fediverse more than centralised platforms, but there are no solutions at the moment.

You mean in general, not in c/WomenStuff? I don’t think I’d feel comfortable posting there even if it was to push back on misogyny.

Fair!

I am honestly not surprised. But I’d guess this is a problem in public women spaces on other platforms too. The internet in general has kinda always been notorious for not being friendly to women.

Not really sure what the solution is. Realistically IRL isn’t that women-friendly either 🤷

The nature of Lemmy is that users can go sign up on another instance and continue their tirade. With that said, surely if the comment was reported they would be banned from the community?

All public online communities are not exempt from trolls. Lemmy admins are pretty good at coordinating between instances, tracking and removing troll users, but it’s endless work and often no one has even reported the problematic content.

If you sleep instead of shutting down, then you don’t get updates (and it starts complaining at you after a month).

That’s the default. It never forces them on you, but there is a UI option for a quick answer. Both the UI option and the “?” shortcut are disabled with the option in settings.

I think they might have changed it. Now they just have the setting to disable quick answers. If you turn on that setting then “?” won’t do anything.

I’ve been playing this too. Seems like every time I open it there has been an update with new features added!
