Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down.
sorghum@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoThis fediverse experiment was a failure.
The whole notion that the fediverse is a failure. Ptz is entitled to his opinion, but he couldn’t be serious that everyone would hold that inflammatory opinion as well. I still stand by my opinion that the fediverse is better off without toxic admins like this.

He said “this” experiment, not “the fediverse” which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).
That said, I’m honestly curious what do you care about his “toxicty” if he’s not an admin of your instance? You don’t seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?

Better phrasing would be “this experiment within the fediverse”. His phrasing still comes across as the fediverse (as an experiment) being a failure to me. I’ve not seen fediverse used as an adjective before.
It’s the same reason I’m not on .ml and try to limit interactions on the instances that are notorious for their heavy handed moderation. He can do whatever he wants, but so can I within the limits of the sh.itjust.works instance or even spinning up my own. That’s the reason I think he got butthurt. He got called out for how he ran things in front of the fediverse, didn’t like it, got mad, took his ball and went home and likely banned me and 5 other guys for his bad phrasing at best or his opinion at worst. He’s free to do that and I believe that the fedivdrse is better for it.

Eh, I think you’re projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got “butthurt” because he didn’t want to play with you.
It’s no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn’t think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.

Anyone banning for downvoting is incredibly petty or thin skinned, just my observation. If it wasn’t for the instance shutting down, it would have made a good post on yptb. Reading other comment threads on this post support the thin skinned theory imho. I just happened to be browsing all when I found the post. Looking at my subs, I wasn’t subscribed to any community there.
I won’t forget the mods of the star trek subreddit banning people for just criticizing Disco and Picard not for being woke or whatever other conservative dog whistles at the time, but for legitimate reasons. That’s the behavior I avoid. I don’t need a mod to protect me from differing opinions. It’s the internet ffs. Then there was the crusade against all the “_trek” subreddits. Claiming harassment to get Reddit to shut them down so that no one with differing opinions about the shows could have a community was absolutely inexcusable. That’s why I avoid your instance like the plague.
It’s also the best part of Lemmy and fediverse on the whole and what we agree on. No one person can control everything.
