196 moderation is just so dramatic. some creature likes to fuck dragons, a different user hates dragon fuckers, the whole sub goes on defense about why fucking dragons is or isn't acceptable, and now that's the content for a solid week.
but yeah, i get it: it's a special place and special places require care to keep them special. still, any time there's the slightest drama i have to mute that whole sub for a week if i don't want to be dragged into it. i wish i didn't have to: i wish we could magically have the special place without the drama.
anyway no: i'm not going to lemmy.world. migrating instances is largely orthogonal to my (minor) qualms with that community, and 50% of my interactions with lemmy.world have resulted in me blocking one of their users: there's just way too much toxicity over there. i'll hang around the new [email protected] for a bit and just spend more time in whichever of the two has better vibes.
