What in the hell?
Lemmy.world admins, I am truly asking you to please reflect on how bad this looks. It honestly makes you seem like you can’t handle criticism and if people get that vibe they will use it to absolutely fuck with you. I know from my own personal experience. I understand that you’re volunteers but this is a step in a very bad direction that will only serve to cause more issues.
The “ight I’m out” ban note was… hm. Not a great look. Comes across as petty and vindictive.
Thank you. It is appreciated.
Please make announcements on lemmy instead of exclusively on discord moving forward. That is the biggest issue here, the lack of public transparency. Such a decision affects all instances, not just lemmy.world and making it publicly known is important
I think lemmy and it’s growth is the biggest step forward in the direction of the fediverse becoming “mainstream” alongside twitters implosion As this platform specifically develops more and the front end UI improves in spite of its current flaws, I feel like lemmy and kbin are probably the most likely to be picked up by the general public as it is the easiest to navigate and populate with content. You can federate whole communities in with tons of content, instead of just individual users. There are quirks but I think it has the most potential, it’s like the fediverse was made for this kind of platform in mind specifically.
Damn the fediverse is really having it’s moment. I guess even non-techie people really are truly getting fed up with corporate social media.
They fuck with left leaning groups and try to intentionally destabilize them 🤷♂️
The risk that would create for vulnerable communities on here would be deeply irresponsible.
Just because you reply so twice doesn’t make you correct.
I think building such a system of some kind that can allow smaller instances to rely from help from larger instances would be extremely awesome.
Like, lemmy has the potential to lead the fediverse is safety tools if we put the work in.
