Lemmy Admins Are Full Of Shit. They Are Obsessed With Having Power, Silencing Users, Banning Users, And Want To Use A Karma System Like Reddit To Restrict Your Ability To Use Lemmy.

I know I'm being dramatic here, but something just hasn't been sitting well with me ever since I started using Lemmy.

There's just this feeling I get here that the admins have a fucking agenda. And I could be wrong. But I hate bullshiters who won't tell it like it is.

More people need to call admins out on their bullshit. It's getting fucking ridiculous.

And I'm tired of the fucking arrogant attitude that some how running a server and being an admin makes you important in some way as if you're going to be the next elon musk or something. Get over yourselves.

It really feels that there is an ulterior motive based on what I see in the matrix chats.

Admins are not being transparent about there motives.

I'm on pretty much all of the lemmy matrix chats, and all they talk about is restricting the users experience, banning, defederating, purging accounts when they ban them so the user doesn't see why they were banned, and any everything that will put them in a position of power.

I also feel like they have accounts on all the other instances and post other bullshit trying to push their agenda and make these changes seem like a good idea.

Admins, quit fucking bullshitting like you're trying not to be like reddit. Yall seem to wet your panties at the idea of basically being in complete and total control of everything and Ban who ever you want based on your political ideologies.

I'm sure their are some who are not like this.

Im sick of this morally superior attiitude and sense that your beliefs and actions are of greater virtue then everyone else. Yall are smugly moralistic and intolerant of different opinions and its fucking obvious.

Stop being fucking deceitful and tell the goddamn truth.

Please explain to everyone your intentions.

This is just one of many. I attached the rest here. I apologize for any duplicates.

How dare you provide a platform for users at the expense of your own time and money! This is literaly 1894!

This is unrelated to OP's stuff, but I've never had a chance to interact with an admin, and I have a question if you don't care. I'm mostly computer illiterate, but I thought a fun way to learn a few things would be to set up a single user lemmy instance. Not to host any communities or anything, just to host my account. But with the recent shit about CSAM I'm now worried about that. Like, would I be at risk of something like that getting on my server if it was on a server I federated with? I don't want to risk exposing myself to that kind of stuff. I'm very glad I wasn't one of the unfortunate people to click on one of those links last week, and it genuinely freaks me out. I don't wanna see that shit.

uh, what? Each instance has their own set of admins. Which instance are you seething over

Lemmy admins are running a community. They're like gardeners more than anything else. There's a certain kind of garden they want to grow. They're going to encourage it.

The beautiful thing about the fediverse is you can now run your own instance, using your own moderation policies and your own levels of transparency. Nothing stopping that.

Admins are human, they have an agenda, as all humans do, you want to find a group of people that's in line with your agenda as well.

If you're running a small community, and people are brigading it, it would make sense to have controls to prevent say outside votes from counting. Or to require minimum account age and posting history before they can post in your more niche community. Lemmy has a history of people creating a one-time use account posting something like spam or, controversy, or trolling. And no other history associated with that account. So being able to limit those would be a net benefit for people with more fragile communities. So I don't think there's anything wrong with community administrators talking amongst themselves coming up with strategies on how to manage a wild community when they just want to help their niche garden. It's reasonable
