        Omg the disparity is palpable.

        The post you linked:

        we are going to continue to moderate on this instance exactly the same as we did on blahaj.zone.

        The “we’ve already left” style post on blahaj:

        Why? That’s a complicated question with a long answer! The primary difference is moderatorial and ideologial differences between my team and Ada’s excellent team of admins…

        Edit: so in asking whether the moderation will appear the same to the users, the answer is “well yes, except actually no”.

            Only 2-3 hours old and already 36 posts (less than a minute later 43, I’ll stop updating this now:-), nearly 400 users, 174 subscribers (I guess the others simply voted or commented?) - this is taking off like a rocket!

            The mods forgot the basic Rule of Lemmy: fuck spez.

                I mean… okay so technically they didn’t, but only technically. I think I saw where you asked the question: who owns a community? They acted like the mods did, and now having FA, they are FO that they in fact do not own it nearly to the degree that the community members themselves do.

                So now the community is split, and they may find themselves having to do a lot less moderation work in the future.

                I contributed a post myself to help them out.:-)

                    And you as well, for your multiple ones!

                    I don’t even plan to join the community weirdly enough, but I do want to help them grow a bit if that’s what they need to be free of authoritarian influence:-).

      I’m on LW and both communities seem empty. This usually indicates defederation, right?

          It’s strange, when I’m logged in on the web app or use Sync I see nothing, when I’m not logged in to the web app it’s fine. Also using the Eternity app works fine.

            That is weird, maybe check your language settings? Make sure you have ‘Undetermined’ selected. If not, maybe log out and back in.

              Checked it, it’s on Undetermined. Logged back in just in case, but nothing.

              Either I got banned or something else is afoot. But we’re getting quite offtopic so I’ll leave it here. Thanks for the suggestion!

                The community is now locked on blahaj. In the past even from the Lemmy UI locking a post has caused issues with it federating properly, like votes and comments aren’t sent out any longer, so perhaps Sync won’t show it for that reason?

                Perhaps force quit and restart your app, maybe even restart your phone.

            Sync has a bug where you can’t see posts on your home instance.
