my brother in christ, I was banned from alllemmy.ml communities (fairphone, signal, selfhosted etc etc) because I dared talk about the uyghur genocide.
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

Lemmy is even worse.
Lemmy.ml is one instance.
Join smaller instances so no one instance can dominate on many topics.
We should avoid creating monopolies.

[email protected] is taking over [email protected]
It mostly took a post on [email protected] and a ping to the regular posters
.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).
