    Damn, i liked sag :(

    I think i’m going with a soft PTB from my pov. Tbf dbzer0 is pretty lax on rules, especially towards people outside the instance. I don’t think it’s within my place or anyone else’s to ban someone from such a huge part of the fediverse.

    But this highlights the need to decentralize from .world, the fact that a single instance ban can take away such a huge part of the fediverse from a user feels ridiculous.

    I get why they did it, but it feels unfair.

      I willingly blocked .world that place is a toxic cesspool. It also felt too much like reddit.

        Yeah, this sort of stuff strikes me as bad for the user affected and for .world, but good for lemmy overall. An active, competent user is being forced to post to non-LW communities exclusively.

          Damn RIP then if I got banned from .world after this post I am leaving Lemmy.

          I hope he doesn’t.

            Agreed. But even if he does, this sort of stuff contributes to a reputation and could lead future users to choose to post to communities on better instances. That’s the part I think would be good for lemmy overall.

      Then admins have no place banning people?

        Yeah, that probably wasn’t a good point.

        I feel my point on

        Was probably a better one.

        .World is a good instance, but they are too big. Being banned from just any other instance? You can deal with. But being banned off of .world effectively takes away most lemmy content away from you.

        Damn RIP then if I got banned from .world after this post I am leaving Lemmy.

        Ultimately i understand why they did it, but sag was a great poster.
