    Just a quick update, lemmy.world has posted an update that explains their decision here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/16795373

    TLDR is that the person who removed the community is fairly new to the mod team and didn’t realize there was a bit of a history to this situation. Also, looks like they are sticking with the decision this time around though.

    Please don’t harass the lemmy.world admins/mods though - if you don’t like the situation you are free to register here or on another instance. And if you aren’t a lemmy.world user, then this doesn’t affect you at all.

    I’m proud of our community here, and it’s their loss, not ours! pirate captain giving the thumbs up

      The translation is, “It wasn’t us don’t get angry, but also it kind of was one of us and also we are sticking by the decision so it may as well have been us.” I don’t really see that it matters if the story is true - in the best possible case they’re just saying that they don’t have a way of setting policies and having those policies be followed.

      If we’ve learned anything from centralised platforms it’s that size doesn’t protect platforms from the consequences of making bad decisions.

          I’m happy on feddit.de, as they are really only defederated from the tankies and Threads.

          I left L.W when they federated with Threads and tried lemm.ee, but dealing with the tankies is so annoying I had to find another new home and settled for feddit.de.

              Yeah lemmy.ml has gotten worse with tankies, but it’s no where near as bad as the others. And I still want to see some lemmy.ml communities (tech, gaming).

              But unless it’s changed with some of the recent updates, blocking instances as a user (on lemmy) only blocks posts from the instance but still allows interaction with their users in comments of posts. It’s different for kbin and mastodon.

              I don’t want the annoyance of arguing with tankies from their main instances. I’d rather be defederated.

              Also, why go back to lemm.ee and do that when I don’t need to on feddit.de? That seems kind of silly in the first place.
