I’m not going to click a link to a site so I can just click on another link. If you like Flibbar so much, just stay on Flibbar and let Lemmy be Lemmy.
Their admin tried to advertise it to !gaming yesterday, by linking to his community for downloading malware posing as pirated AAA games.
I kept an unreasonably open mind and went to look though the site, and it seemed hopeless as a concept. Especially their statement that they could not reconcile moderation with free speech, shows that they aren’t mentally equipped to run a site.
“Q: Will this site be overrun with racists?”, “A: If people offend you, block them. If a community is dominated by people you don’t get along with, leave it.”
Yeah buddy that’s exactly the decision we make for your entire site.
He posted it in !piracy as well and they seemed to be taking the bait. I hope admins end up banning him soon.
I saw that and it just felt so incredibly off. Literally saying things like “bro you can play any game you want”. Salesman-ass bullshit.
What the hell is a flibbar?
A site run by an idiot, it seems. From their FAQ:
Is Flibbar decentralised? Yes and no, at present it’s 90% decentralised. We don’t police speech, but we will oversee the platform to ensure nothing illegal is posted on our site. We aim to eventually migrate to Web3 and use AI to oversee the site to ensure nobody crosses the line. However, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your continued support will enable us to reach this goal sooner. In the meantime, until this migration has been completed, we will have to continue to remain admins to ensure this site isn’t abused by bad actors and criminals, or anything that would make us legally liable.
I don’t think he has any idea what “decentralized” means, because his answer to that question only references moderation, not decentralization.
The phrase “migrate to web3” is an absurdist joke. It’s something I would say to prank a colleague.
Normies have learned a few buzzwords.
