    But censoring them completely for being too successful seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

    It honestly has me considering leaving the Fediverse. If this place is so anti- normie, fuck em

      Most people are fine. All social media has some bad eggs - admittedly FOSS/GNU/Linux communities are prone to attract a specific breed of them. But they can generally be ignored pretty easily.

          Not of Lemmy.world, where you are writing from. And I’m not even writing you from Lemmy. :)

          The developers of the platform are not in control over what it’s used for. Which is what’s neat about these place.

            But the comment alleges the admins of .world removed it from sign up pages due to its popularity. That’s the kind of anti-newbie behavior that turns me off.

              It’s the Lemmy developers, who run Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad.ml, who decided not to promote Lemmy.world on their “about Lemmy” website. This is completely unrelated to the admins of Lemmy.world. :)
