I made a number of comments in the post. @Serinus@lemmy.world is now policing how many you are allowed to have.
Here is the Announcement thread in general, in case you are unaware.
Serinus also claims ‘Misinformation’ for these comments
Ding ding ding. Hexbear and other instances get consideration and talked about behind the scenes. Anarchist.nexus was defederated by MrKaplan privately without any consideration at all from other admins. Kaplan even went out of their way to contact admins of other instances to attempt to get them to defederate from anarchist.nexus as well. When pressed about the popularity of anarchist.nexus, Kaplan then said “I don’t know how you define relatively large, on fedidb they’re listed as having 71 monthly active users” which led to someone else saying “That’s top 10 for Piefed servers, according to fedidb. It would be top 40 for lemmy. We aren’t swimming in the pacific here on the Fediverse. This is a small pond to begin with.” A small pond that MrKaplan desperately wants to be the only big fish in. # Lemmy.world is using their position to bully smaller communities.
This is not, in fact, misinformation. I listed the screenshots in another comment directly proving this as correct. Here is that screenshot.
Correct. Also, this is quite important, but MrKaplan didn’t talk to anyone else about this either. There was an instant and knee jerk response by the admins for this but they took literal weeks to do absolutely nothing about Jordan while saying they were looking into it for weeks. They, quite clearly, have made priorities.
Also not misinformation. Here is the screenshot from Kaplan admitting they never messaged anyone.
Anything to say, Serinus?
Edit: Of course he doesn’t. He just banned me for ‘sealioning and harassment’ for this YPTB post.
Yeah, I highly recommend starting your switch to another instance immediately. There is a discussion happening behind the scenes for a number of other major instances to defederate from lemmy.world if LW does indeed go through with the defederation from dbzer0 because, at that point, Kaplan will have proven a few things.
That Kaplan/LW admins value individual users like themselves over the entirety of an instances users
That Kaplan/LW admins are not willing to engage in the same type of reporting behavior that they ask others to do
That Kaplan/LW admins will be taking nuclear options in order to bully smaller instances into bowing to what they want you to do
That Kaplan/LW admins will be policing what you think as they have literally zero evidence that there is any support for Luminous’ behavior and, in fact, has been pushback. It’s so ridiculous that Jordan Lund said this in their moderator chat for Lemmy.world. A chat that I just sit in and quietly drink my tea watching them lie boldfaced.
“major instances”
lol
