Let us not forget to ask: why was this place?

I really doubt that, and I suspect by left you mean more akin to a right wing US Liberal type? I cannot think of a minute where actual leftists have not rallied against neoliberalism, capitalism, exploitation, and poverty.

And because conservatives lied, that’s the lefts fault? Data shows that injection sites in Canada led to reduced crime in their neighbourhoods. But it’s easier for the right to make a scapegoat instead of follow data.

Filtering out misinformation and right wing viewpoints helps solve the problem of misinformation and right wing viewpoints being spread. Which is the root cause of both of your issues.

Why don’t you provide some examples of the sort of diversity of opinion you would like to see here.

What topics do you think we would benefit from by being exposed to “diverse”/right wing views on?

I certainly can’t think of any, and it would help your argument if you could be less vague as it is to what you want to see.

We don’t need conservative viewpoints here, we have them at every other space outside of here and are bombarded with them daily while being subjected to live under them.

If more conservative instances started opening, I would defederate from them.

I believe that’s called a self-own

Not my fault that Linux wasn’t legal and/or easily obtained when I was younger🥲

I went from windows directly to arch and I don’t look that good.

Don’t attack Iran or house bases used by those attacking and you wouldn’t have to worry about defending anything.

That’s such an American take.

Here in Australia female doctor makes grammatical sense, and woman doctor sounds ridiculous. Woman doctor would have the same assumption as it also has an opposite in man doctor, which sounds equally as ridiculous unlike male doctor.

Now you could say my doctor is a woman and that makes perfect sense whereas my doctor is a female is ferengi.

Oh, I hate the word I find it demeaning to my profession of which I studied for 7 years to get my masters and have spent a decade of my life working in. We call it Early Childhood Education but most people only know it as “childcare”.

Sorry I could rant about this for hours.

I work in “childcare”, I get this warmth everyday and than they all run up to cuddle me 🥰

I’m not going to disparage anyone for body dysmorphia, that stuff hurts.

Doesn’t sound ideal.

Moderated communities allow topics to stay on track and fit the theme of a community. It allows you to find different comms if you don’t agree with how one is being run.

By reducing it to tags, you risk topics getting flooded with irrelevant things or bad takes, meanwhile OPs get to ensure no one in the comment can argue against whatever bad take they might make.

Basically is makes the experience worse for every other user by cluttering feeds and promoting biased moderation.

I cannot confirm or deny in writing that this is the approach on quokk.au.

It’s not simple here either.

Are you fucking kidding me? Evil people are publicly stating their planned intentions to harm people and you’re asking why we don’t ignore it to focus on fucking sunshine and rainbows?

Sticking your head in the sand will not protect trans people from one of the most influential policy makers in the US.

That’s a shame, I just discovered that site last week and was excited to buy some stuff.

Daycare is a multibillion dollar industry. The previous company I worked at here in Australia was owned by big an American private investment firm (Bain Capital).

My centres company owned about 70 centres under them, and their owners had many other childcare corporations they owned across the globe.

I work for a not for profit now and while they run 76 centres, they actually care about the children.
