Lemmy world is the worst. Anytime I see a trash post that's where it comes from 9/10.

Anytime I see a ~~trash~~ post that’s where it comes from 9/10.

It's 40% of the whole Lemmy userbase and activity. They've got their fair share of trolls but come on, the worst? Have you forgotten about redditors?

It's hard to be the biggest, and I think their admins are doing a pretty good job.

Their admins are trash, troglodyte fascists. They banned me for disagreeing with someone's opinions and calling them out for being pro-Hamas/pro-terrorism. Fuck them.

I got banned for spreading "disinformation" about how badly the war with Ukraine is going for Russia.

Sounds like you’re a troglodyte genocide apologist to me. Resistance to occupation and siege is legal under international law, including through force of arms.

The devs of Lemmy clients should recommend dbzer0 on their sample screenshots

They are something else. I joined them when I first heard of Lemmy. I also joined .ca and decided I don't need two, so I closed my account. A month later I decided to join again for whatever reason and they a) didn't accept temp emails (like [email protected]) and b) had a lengthy application form where you had to go into detail about why you want to join. The lunacy of anyone even suggesting that, let alone implementing it, told me everything I needed to know. Like I guess you don't want this place to succeed then.

I originally joined up to .world and offered to mod a few communities, cause whatevs I got free time. I saw a fellow mod outright nazi-ing about ( not "saying things I disagree with" but actual nazi fanboy-ing) so asked instance admin if he could be removed as a mod from said community we shared. It was a polite message, and I wasn't gonna harp or bitch about it either way but I figured if he wasn't removed I'd just leave (no way that's not coming to a head sooner or later, yknow?) I was immediately banned from the entire instance without even a message or anything about it. Just outright immediately banned.

Sure, if that's how hard you're going to bat for nazis I don't want to be here anyway. Shrug

A claim like this typically requires evidence.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And I provided such evidence to the admin, who then banned me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why not provide it to everyone else?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Who would I have a screenshot from an account I had for like 2 weeks, what, two years ago now?

I get it, you're being disingenuous and want to argue that its only Nazi if its from the Nazi region of Germany, otherwise it's just sparkling fascism which is actually A-OK or that "um, ackhthually, nobody supports Nazis on the internet."

Either way, you go dig through two years of mod logs or wtfever. Have fun.

Lemmy.world is about a year old. It definitely wasn't two years ago.

I think a lot of mods do it because they just have a lack of control in their lives and have this unhealthy need for it (not because they have free time and want to actually help grow the sub). Basically like HOA/Strata. Those guys are literally there not to upkeep the houses and buildings but to just be tyrants telling others what to do. My last HOA was so angry when people would feed the local rabbits (bEcAuSe tHeY MuLtIpLy oUt oF CoNtRoL) that they were threatening fines. I had to get the actual property management involved and the guy I spoke had a tone that he to was so done with them. Basically said that it was illegal and he would talk to them lol. I wouldn't be surprised if half of them were reddit mods.

Wow, that's a very ruud instance owner.

kbin usually is worse.
So much spam.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

They are both bad for different reasons.

Kbin has uncontrolled spam because the administrator, Ernest, likes to go AWOL for months on end and wants to do everything completely by himself. Currently, Kbin.social has been unreachable for 4-5 days - whether that's because something legitimately broke or Ernest pulled the plug on things we don't know because he actually hates communicating with people. He could gain so much more goodwill from the community if he just left a one sentence post saying "I am still alive, I am still updating things, be patient."

Lemmy World sucks because the admins suck, the moderators suck, and the majority of the userbase don't seem to be interested in creating quality content. Most of the people there are only there because their Reddit app doesn't work anymore.

I'm here because r/piracy lead me here :)
My first account was actually made on lemmy.world until I saw mentions of this instance. Very grateful to db0!

Let's agree that it's the "Both? Both!" meme.
