i was banned by this mod for politely noting how certain comments lead to escalation of inappropriate behavior. i noted how by bantering with infringing accounts after comment removal, !world@lemmy.world mods actually increased the work they needed to do to remove abusive content and amplified toxic voices as a whole. i used no unkind language and really at the time i genuinely hoped for improvement to the quality of the community.
their response?
permabanned
for “mod abuse”
one month after i made the post in question
don’t use !world@lemmy.world. their entire mod team is dedicated to just kind of fucking around in a sandbox with thousands of users, not to creating a space for genuine constructive world news engagement. preferably also just stop using lemmy.world when possible.
I am definitely considering switching from lemmy.world after the blatent censoring of posts and comments from large communities that happened the past few days.
Yesterday when all this came out I immediately applied to my new instance and let me tell you- seeing all the content I was missing from the places world has defederated has been a blast!
Yeah I have no problem moving it, but I think it might be actually more useful keeping it on LW?
It’s more of a roadsign to point from the most popular instance to lesser popular instances. If we put the sign on a lower traffic instance less people will see it.
Honestly I know nothing about the other servers and picking one is a bit of a headache. I know the team that runs LW is very competent from an IT perspective. To go on another server I’d have to understand who ran it to make sure they truely understood the technical and legal issues in the long run. Is there a site that objectively compares the different instances?
finally a space to diss on jordanlund bless 😭

World is the most carbon copy of Reddit of all instances. And that’s not a pro.

Same! secret dbzer0 newcomer handshake
I appreciate my instance of Lemmy.zip. I’ve had no issues.
Hello,
Could we then consider moving !index@lemmy.world elsewhere?
Woah I had no idea this community existed. Cool idea.
Hopefully we’ll move it soon ha ha

You can keep keep the current one on LW, but then have a pinned post pointing to the active one elsewhere
!casualconversation@lemmy.world has that

Also keep in mind that if things were to really go south, some instances might defed LW.
Actually, Beehaw is already defederated from LW
Fucking seriously, that dude is garbage.
