You should also remove the cached content, if possible. Also no idea about the downvotes… If you don’t like the decisions that an instance makes, go to another one. It’s that easy.

Guess they deserved it because were too subtle in naming.

This is why Lemmy won’t grow, a lot of instances are forcing their users to create another account on other instances, this was my third account due to the blocking of some instances like this…

I have an idea. How about all of the complainers go and start your own instance and allow whatever you want. When you have 100k users good luck sleeping.

Interesting the level of outrage. I guess if Lemmy’s userbase is heavily “Reddit users who were outraged enough to leave a private platform over entitlement towards free API access and come here” then it’s going to skew heavily “easily outraged”.

I don’t see a huge issue really - the whole point of the fediverse is there are other instances to go to. Some of them will lean more towards covering their asses, some will pop up (and get c&d and taken down and repeat) for the illegal stuff. Some will tell bigots to go fuck themselves and outrage racists, "gender critical"s, etc about free speech (this instance literally says it’s not a free speech zone so what are you doing here?). Others will happily accommodate it. Pick your poison.

Okay, downvote away, but when you get bored of clicking down arrows on everyone who doesn’t 100% agree with you and actually leave like you said you would, don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. You’re more than welcome to take your toxicity elsewhere.

I believe most users understand the difficulties and appreciate your work…
Cheers !

Uh, @lwadmin@lemmy.world … what’s up with the banning going on in this thread? I noticed on a.lemmy.org that someone was labeled “banned” and their comment was simply “Ight, I’m out”

The mod note was “Let us help you”.

There are more similarly weak (spiteful?) bans that certainly don’t seem to be at a standard for a ban. “Litterally 1984” was another one. Is that all it takes to be banned here?

Edit: Many (all?) the users I referenced as banned are now unbanned from the site, but now banned from this community.

Why do we even need a Reddit clone as if one isn’t causing enough distress.

This is a prime example of why I suspect we’ll see a lot more lemmy instances with a more narrow focus over time instead of just a few super lemmys. Its only keeping them indexed that will be a problem so that they can be found.

You guys shit the bed. Shiess the bed. Whatever you sourkraut fuckers want to call it. It would have been easier to set yourselves on fire in a bunker. Fascism is as fascism does. Tell us “it’s for the greater good”. You’re just cutting away the undesirables. You admins do so much for our own good and we should be grateful you know so much better than we do. That’s why you have all those updoots

Ridiculous and lame movement.

Those are discussing communities only, not even hosted at Lemmy.world, in case something goes bad it is going to be against them not this instance.

Are you sure this is not a campaign to spread the load of the server?

Just for the record, thank you guys for doing this. I love lemmy world and appreciate you guys are taking precautions to make sure it sticks around. ❤

Edit: Lol at people salty for me showing appreciation.

If you’re looking to avoid all “problematic” content, you better shut down the service right now.

Literally 1984

I don’t understand why people are upset even a little about this. This is a prefect advert for the fediverse. If you are not completely happy with an instance(which can never realistically happen) then you just host your own or have multiple accounts. Apps have this built in and easily accessible. Why do people want to concentrate everything they want into one instance? What if that instance goes down? This should not be hated or applauded… just ignored as the way the fediverse should work. Don’t get too attached to any single instance.
