Lemmy.world sure seems full of the “Reddit Mod” types that killed reddit, but there are other options in the verse.
Agreed. I highly recommend choosing a different instance for your account.
The mods on !worldnews@lemmy.world and other communities routinely ban posters that don’t violate the rules, just because they don’t like their political opinion.
See !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for some discussion around mods‘ abuse of power.
I see your point, but it wasn’t really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed
Admins are the main culprits, but mods removing posts organizing migration to Lemmy also have a share of responsibility in the situation.
By the time people were moving to Lemmy, the damage was already done. If anything, you’re arguing that the mods helped save reddit from a larger exodus by disrupting the migration? You seem confused.
Commenter above you said that typical “Reddit mods” killed Reddit.
You say it was the admins.
I’m saying that the mods could have helped save the “original Reddit spirit” by facilitating the transition to Lemmy, like !ich_iel@feddit.org and !melbourne@aussie.zone did.
Mods who removed posts suggesting to transitioning to Lemmy were accomplices, probably because they didn’t want to lose the power on their subs.
and !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !
Yes sorry, don’t know why I forgot about you ha ha
I’m easily forgotten :D
Thanks man. I’ve always given you credit for that. Or at least I remember specifically mentioning you in a couple of comments when I was lambasting the majority of reddit mods and pointing to you as the shining example of someone who stuck to their guns and did what was necessary.
Tbh I didn’t realize until now that feddit.de originated from r/ich_iel mods, nor that aussie.zone originated from r/Melbourne mods. That might have something to do with you naming the instance after yourself 😅
But seriously, you’re a legend and you have done so much for Lemmy. I donate to you on liberapay but it’s far less than you deserve.
The real reason was that early-on, I didn’t expect it to go very far and just used a subdomain on dbzer0.com which I’ve had for years. I now wish I had chosen a more catchy domain name, but alas :D
And thank you for your kind words (and donation)
