Edit: Serinus has been made a de-facto admin of Lemmy.world. He has access to admin level tools via a Discord bot, is banning users from the instance using this bot, and is admitting as much. He is also claiming that instance defederation is acceptable under a certain amount of users. This is the admin team of Lemmy.world. Defederation must happen.

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.

    I’m sorry what?

    You think lemmy.world is… leftist?

    Nah. They’re extremely hardcore ‘Corporate Democrat’, ie, moderate conservatives.

        … Yes, and then they leave and join another instance, after dealing with the .world mod team for a long enough time.

        There are plenty of instances that are explicitly leftist… I’m genuienly not aware of any explicity fascist instances…? Maybe I missed one?

          Lemmy seriously need full community portability, to make easier for cummity owner to move the content to another instance

            I agree that this would be a very useful thing, but as far as I understand the technical back end of lemmy… which is admittedly not well … it would basically either be impossible, or would require basically a hardfork.

            Lemmy is fundamentally designed for the instance to be the most important thing, to try and treat users as primary, to be able to enable a ‘migration’… it’d be a very significant rework and a whole lot of people more familiar with the actual code would probably have very strong opinions about it.

            EDIT: Derp, you said comm, not user.

            I… think you still run into pretty much the same problems, or kinds of problems, either way.
