Oh I am on another instance that is not my concern, I am just stating my disappointment and confusion over this instance and why maybe I am not so happy with them being our mouthpiece.
So are reddit mods, does not make this less slimy
I agree but that is what .world has asked of people. They have placed themselves here as the landing place for new users.
Sorry I would have replied sooner but .world was down again.
I can not in good conscience do that and my statement had nothing to do with the nature of the fediverse. I am saying it is a bad look to tell the world you represent Lemmy but also censor instances. This is not a fediverse technical issue but a broader more general issue of integrity and claims.
Seems kinda petty even for backpedalling. I get that some of these users might be right awful but it does not pay to play right into these peoples arguments.
I don't think it is so difficult but I also think that would lessen the depth and breadth of lemmy as a whole by limiting full participation behind self hosting.
What? I am actually confused here, are you saying anyone can represent a group or individual without their permission or knowledge? And this is not some ethical issue?
Just wondering and looking at the mod log for one admin and maybe I am crazy but are they unbanning and rebaning users? (Keep in mind it goes new on top):
- admin Banned @snake from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: troll
- admin Unbanned @snake
- admin Banned @soviettaters from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: Troll
- admin Unbanned @soviettaters
- admin Unbanned @ilfi
- admin Removed Comment Spineless pieces of shit. by @sused reason: toxic
- admin Banned @sused reason: Bye
- admin Banned@ilfi reason: Inactive account comes back to troll. Bye
Do they have the right to be our "front page"?
I think the issue is that .world has put itself forward as some sort of super lemmy. The landing page for new users. I agree people should move but also that we do kinda need a superish lemmy, but one that maybe has all the good and bad. Would it make any sense to have an instance that has no communities of its own but also has all the instances?
"A generic Lemmy server for everyone* to use.
The World’s Internet Frontpage Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world** to use."
*everyone we approve **entire world may not include you
