Summary:

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

    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.
