          It’s not just lemmy.ml… That’s the problem with any instance - that an idiot like me can just host one and be “the king”. Then a community grows, but the king still sits on the throne - whether he is qualified or not. Reddit had years to get rid of most of those issues with established modteams. Communities that had bad moderation faded away. Communities that “made it” had okayish mods since there were thousands of people to pressure a team acting like a-holes. Lemmy has barely any users compared to that, so a bad admin / moderator is more visible. Also, lemmy is heavily skewed towards echochambers, even more than reddit was.

          Splitting communities just creates more issues - with having to crosspost to 2 or 3 groups of people who might not interact with one another. It’s honestly no wonder that there exists a “mega instance” in lemmy.world

        .ml admins (yeah, the lemmy devs themselves, sadly) and mods are tankies, of course they banned you for that.

        Just join a sane, smaller instance; that’s the beauty of federation (and defederation of harmful instances like .ml or .world or hexbear).

    To set the narrative, of course. Reddit made a big showing last year of putting their own choice mods on communities and is now beholden to Wall Street since the IPO

      Same reason they nerfed the algorithm to change from having new posts on the front page every ~15 minutes, to keeping the same posts there all day long.

        Costs too much to vet every popular post to make sure it helps support the establishment. Oh well, here’s “puppy sees her owner for the first time in 2 months for 48 hours” (part 2!)

    Don’t get so haughty. Lemmy.world (based on the Netherlands) deletes posts and bans users that mention support for Luigi.

    Earlier today I replied to a post on Lemmy.world about this problem, saw my post had many up votes and replied. But I couldn’t respond to any of them because the post had been deleted by mods.

      Glorifying the wrong kind of murder. If this had been a homeless guy on the subway getting strangled to death by someone the media felt comfortable venerating, Mangione would be sharing box seats with the Vice President right now.
