This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. “Everyone else does it” is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.
If you’re so upset about out-of-instance interaction, just defederate altogether from all other instances. Turn into Truth Social. Or close the server. Jesus, just take criticism with grace.
This thread is about unpinning a local thread. Something that does not affect people from another instance at all.
It pushes people to other instances. It is quite disenfranchising to some. I was here before you by a small margin, and was one of the most active users in promotion of positive community building. You are creating a problem no different than reddit. Matrix is the alternative built into Lemmy. Your resistance to this is why you should not be admin here.
Which has no merit at all to begin with, since out-of-instance users do not see the pinned posts of Lemmy.world. He’s right to call out most of you for simply concern-trolling.
How hateful. I’m a user of this instance and I dislike that stupid pinned message. It’s ok to have a Discord chat, but to have a promotion permanently pinned is a power trip move.
He’s literally telling you that most of the downvotes are not from lemmy.world (because as an admin you can only see downvotes from your local instance, which means the rest are certainly not from there).
As said elsewhere, people on Lemmy are alt juggling quite a lot these days.
Having someone voting from another does not mean the user doesn’t have an account on LW.
Is your main account on lemmy.world?
It was until I couldn’t use it for weeks due to server instability.
Are we trying to register who’s spending how much time where now?
So we agree then that you don’t see the pinned posts of lemmy.world, since you haven’t used your LW account for weeks and moved on to another instance.
Well, I would try to use it, then I would see the pinned post, and then it would remind me that I’m not a fan of that decision, so I would go back to my alt.
Monthly active users on LW have decreased in August compared to July, so maybe it’s a trend, who knows.

It’s strange for me to have you trying to say that my opinion doesn’t count as I’m still contributing very regularly to LW communities such as [email protected].
What is the threshold of time spent on a LW account from which a user’s concern are legit, according to you?
I should switch back to my lemmy.world account to downvote you in a better way?
And you not taking the critisism about discords shady data mining and privacy practices seriously makes you look trolling.
