You are totally missing the point, just like you missed the point in your last deleted post.

I think we all want to see most instances and communities thrive. With this being the most “mainstream” instance, it gives many users their first glimpse into Lemmy and the rest of the federation. If the first thing people see is the same shitty admin actions that Reddit was known for, they puts a huge damper on adaptation.

If the first few days are spent looking for an instance where their communities and comments won’t get banned, it just makes for a shitty experience.

this is just the other side of the coin of finding a community that aligns with you.

So take accountability. If you don’t want people to just see posts of users whining, then do something constructive about it.

Ya’ll can hate how social media works all you want. Yet so few actually DO anything about it aside from complain. Just continuing to push the optics to what YOU want it to be rather than what the admins of LemmyWorld want to see. If that doesn’t align with you, then leave. it’s not complicated

  Your point of reference is flipped. I don’t need to take accountability for something that the admins are doing.

  Banning one community for being “illegal” while not banning another gives some fairly spectacular visuals.

    Nah, it’s on you. No one is forcing you to use lemmyworld

    false equivalence isn’t going to get you too far. If you think it’s so easy to moderate communities that walk the line of illegal/legal, then by all means, start your own instance.

    this made me lol. it’s not some egregious action against the prestigious mushroom community… most casual users likely won’t even know this happened in a couple days, let alone give a single fuck…

    Do you even know what that means? I am writing off this conversation as pointless.
