World admins tend to engage in censorship, blocking, and banning of ANY viewpoints that don’t support their compromised world views.
They aren’t even aware that they are enthusiastic supporters of actual fascists because those fascists have figured out how to manipulate their actions using identity politics and fearmongering.
lemmy.world had blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Not jolly, not jolly at all 😕
Join us, sail free in the high seas! lemmy.dbzer0.com
Legitimately the reason I dropped .world and made an account at SJW. I don't want my instance admins deciding what I do and don't get to see without my input.
Of course, the SJW admins could decide to block it anyway, at which point I'll make a dbzer0 account
And what would you do if dbzer0 defederates with dbzer0????
..........wait.......that's not right......
Here's the description by both:
sh.itjust.works:
A bilingual (EN/FR) general-purpose instance located in eastern Canada! Powered by 99% renewable energy! Everyone is welcome eh.
Lemmy.World:
A generic Lemmy server for everyone to use. (...) Lemmy.World is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use
The comments about instances being "good" or "bad" is just plain ol' tribalism.
Users get attacked for the instances they registered to, even if they were unaware of instance politics when they actually registered. That sucks!
Lemmy world has more users and therefore more likely to have more jerks when the jerk to not jerk ratio within an instance is the same.
There are/were a few instances where staying with their registration is worthy of assuming the worst about them.
I don't know if I would agree with that assessment entirely, yes Lemmy.world has the same starting Jerk to not jerk ratio. However on Lemmy.world the amount of jerks who aren't banned is higher than instances like blahaj.zone, dbzer0, or pawb.social. So there are more jerks on Lemmy.world, not because it attracts more jerks or has more users but also because it doesn't ban them as often as other instances do.
I'm using jerk kind of loosely but I'll clarify because people will think I'm trying to say someone should be banned for a rude moment but I'm not. When I say jerk, what I really mean is alt-right troll, transphobe, sealioner, climate-denier, etc. Someone who isn't obvious enough to be caught as a spammer would but who is still bad for the community.
The two main reasons people attack LW is:
people who criticise it because it is by far the largest instance, and thereby means lemmy isn’t as decentralised as it could be, I think this is a fair point, because it has caused federation issues with for example aussie.zone in the past.
Tankies who get mad the average lemmy.world user does not share their admiration for China, Russia, North Korea, Stalin, and Mao. Thereby accusing the whole instance of being “libs” and “bigots”.
Lemmy.world has kind of awful moderation, which means people who are trolls or bad actors have lived here for a very long time despite multiple reports. It was only recently that Linkerbaan (the most notorious one of all) was banned, and it took a thread complaining about bans in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and dbzer0 admins messaging them to get their attention.
There are other people here like that which never receive permanent bans for consistently horrible behavior. It's not great, and while I don't agree with Beehaw's decision to defederate over it I do think that things could be better. It does degrade user experience to have known trolls and assholes running wild and only getting a slap on the wrist when they do something horrible.
I’ll add 2 more that resonate with me:
because it has caused federation issues with for example aussie.zone in the past.
Just to precise, it's still the case
I agree with you. IMO, it's not that different.
The big difference is between the tankie LARPer instances (lemmygrad, hexbear, parts of lemmy.ml) and the rest of the major instances.
.world is the instance where most new users default to so and it has the highest user base and that includes a lot of trolls or just bad faith actors. Also, a lot of .world is based from reddit users who left and they brought that kind of mindset along. Some people don't like that either.
