The advertisement and push they did on sites like reddit and their listing on join-lemmy.org (when they where still listed) made them the biggest instance. And with the name Lemmy.world they did nothing to dissuade anyone from thinking that. If this was all randos pushing the instance then boo to them, but I also saw nothing from .world not claiming to be the bigger instance(super lemmy)

I don’t think it is so difficult but I also think that would lessen the depth and breadth of lemmy as a whole by limiting full participation behind self hosting.

Just wondering and looking at the mod log for one admin and maybe I am crazy but are they unbanning and rebaning users? (Keep in mind it goes new on top):

• admin Banned @snake from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: troll
• admin Unbanned @snake
• admin Banned @soviettaters from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: Troll
• admin Unbanned @soviettaters
• admin Unbanned @ilfi
• admin Removed Comment Spineless pieces of shit. by @sused reason: toxic
• admin Banned @sused reason: Bye
• admin Banned@ilfi reason: Inactive account comes back to troll. Bye

I think the issue is that .world has put itself forward as some sort of super lemmy. The landing page for new users. I agree people should move but also that we do kinda need a superish lemmy, but one that maybe has all the good and bad. Would it make any sense to have an instance that has no communities of its own but also has all the instances?
