The whole post seems strange to me, what do you all think?

    .world mods and admins are just seething right now because they were unsuccessful in moving 196 to .world. The whole community just fucked off to [email protected]

    This behaviour will just continue, its what .world is destined to do because they think we need them.

      Y’all are assigning way to much maliciousness to the people running a non-profit.

        I usually trust LW, especially Ruud. One point I just don’t get is why staying federated with Threads

          I do think the L.W. position is a bit too status-quo, but being misguided isn’t the same as being a mustache twirling villain pirate captain laughing

            I trust him as a sysadmin. Not sure he does that much moderation these days

              I actually think that’s part of the problem. If you don’t eat your own dogfood, you don’t know where the problems are.

                ruud isn’t and hasn’t for a long time been involved in LW moderation at all. the last moderation type site admin action taken by ruud was september 2023. all LW site moderation is done by the LW site admin team and to some extent our community team.

                the LW team operates more or less independently from the rest of the instances we have at FHF. some topics are discussed in the wider circle of moderators across instances (same role, just different terminology depending on the software) but decisions are generally still on the LW site admin team.

                True, but at the same time maybe he doesn’t want to talk on Lemmy that much. Also I think they also manage Mastodon, that would be something to stay active there regularly too

                  Yes, but again, this is part of the problem. Ruud deciding to host and maintain a dozen fediverse services he doesn’t use personally is a choice, which has these sort of effects.

                  I personally run lemmy and only lemmy because I use it all the time and know exactly what’s happening here and what the drama is and can put my development time into improving my instance.

      Why is a decentralised instance in a decentralised social network infrastructure wanting to be the centralised instance.

      IMO, Lemmy.world is a greater risk to Lemmy than Meta’s threads.

        Yeah duh, thats why everyone is pissed at .world. Their admins also didnt sign the anti meta petition (fedipact) and for that and many other reasons are defederated by other instances.

          Imo the fedipact is silly. It shouldn’t be a reason to defederate from someone

            Nobody is deferating because someone didn’t sign the fedi pact, but people do bring that as a con for that instance.

            You have to see it as a sort of shopping cart test of basic human decency. If you cant even manage a base level of agreement over why the fediverse exists and what can endanger it, then your instance should not be trusted with majority control over lemmy.

        i think the sublinks dev is ongoing, they said they wanted to switch to that and eventually cut ties to lemmy. They probably want the largest userbase to take with them

              Sublinks main dev got a child.

              Piefed dev knew Python and not Java

                  Honestly, If I wasn’t on lemmy atm, I’d be hosting piefed because I know python and it’s much easier to develop.

                  Languages are different, not all people know all of them.

                  If you get a book draft in Persian, are you going to continue writing in that language, or will you translate to one of your main languages?

                  I’m in that Matrix, things stopped happening around 6 months ago.

                    Their logic of we picked Java because it’s easier to find people.

                    I thought they had multiple lw and a beehaw people helping as well?

        So they can cencor fedi discussions.

        During elections you could not post any criticism of kamala or DNC without ban hammer…

        Discussions of Dead parasite CEO… Can’t discuss either…

        Criticism of neo liberal regimes… Not on their Lemmy!!!

        Rule1,Civility, troll🤡

        This is called censorship and world makes ML seem reasonable IMHO

        These ideological leanings does make me wonder who is paying the neckbeards to do this fulltime.
