I mean, the behavior of the community speaks for itself. They try so hard not being the thing they ran from three years ago, but in the midst of their attempt, they end up evolving into the very thing they ran from. Its like they just didn’t like being on the platform of origin, promised they’d do better, then realizing how separated they are to where they just recreated it by instinct.
Power-Tripping Mods, Gaslighting Users, Immature Moderators, 100 Rules to follow but contradicts itself .etc
I can just go on and on and on. Oh and I don’t even care about this stupid debate that happened between .ML and .World because there’s virtually no difference and it is just nothing but a sissy online slapfight.
Among other things, it sounds like you’re conflating instances and communities. The instance is the server you connect to, the community is the group of posts you read, often on a number of different instances. You only need one person to make an instance, communities usually require more, unless you’re using Lemmy/Piefed to make a blog connected to a user base.
