Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home.

So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.

Where are you going?

Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to “stay legal”, they can start with those items.

    I have. I have also read their reasoning posts for some of their community bans. As a matter of fact, my last post about this is at the top of the support community and was made only when I only knew about the shrooms community takedown.

    I think their only response is going to be is for them to dig in their heels. (And their happy little takedown messages were really shitty and drive that home, TBH.) So yeah, I am going to migrate to another “home” instance. This is kind of a pain as my profile history is getting fragmented across different instances.

    While they can “do what they want” as admins, flexing on budding communities in bad faith is not a good way to retain a user base for very long.

    Really, I do want to see all instances and communities thrive! Their methodology is not supporting that right now.
