Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy.

Did they really do it again, fucking hell. I came here for a better experience then Reddit and I feel like it’s starting to be a worse experience then Reddit. Transparency from admin my ass.

Yeah looks like I’ll have to.

Transparency is there in the sense that the modlog makes clear that a lemmy.world admin blocked the community. If it were Reddit we’d never know how, just that it is blocked.

I’m aware of this broken promise. My comment is speaking specifically on a limited technical basis when comparing it to Reddit, which is what I mean by “in a sense”. I hope this clarifies it for you.

…you can just change instances. World did this before and I that’s how I ended up on this account/instance.

That’s weird, I haven’t seen u/spez around here lately.
Reddit was great for at least 5-10 years, the main issue that caused everyone to leave was that it became corporatized and had to start making a profit. That can literally never happen on Lemmy, because it’s free and decentralized. So yes, Lemmy is special and insulated from corporate abuse. If you can’t understand the value of that, you may as well go back to reddit.
Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
It’s not free of corporatist behaviour though, especially on the large instances. This is a classic example. I guess at least people can vote with their feet, and still stay on the fediverse.
Fapper_McFapper@lemmy.world 6 months ago
You’ve hit the nail on the head. The Lemmy experience is quickly beginning to sour. They’ve received an influx of trolls and I’ve run into a few moderators now that seem to be taking harsh actions. Maybe Lemmy is t for me after all.
r00ty@kbin.life 6 months ago
The thing is, this actually if anything proves the strength of the fediverse. Lemmy.world is not Lemmy and Lemmy is not the fediverse. Just find another instance that has not blocked the community yet and carry on with your day.
Lemmy.world have every right to curate the experience for their users as they see fit and/or feel comfortable carrying the risk for.

Hey it’s a free world. You’re welcome to migrate to a different instance. Heck why not run your own? That’s the power of the fediverse. Or just head back to Reddit.

Many you guys are getting downvoted for conflating Lemmy on the fediverse as a whole with Lemmy.World.
These actions don’t affect anyone not on Lemmy.world, assuming db0 federates with you, !piracy is still there for you
pop@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
yep I got downvoted, as expected. More proof. What’s a surprise. Just like Reddit
Where have I heard it before? If my memory serves me right, it was very popular cope on another discussion platform. What a surprise. Just like Reddit.

Try a better instance. Lemm.ee and Lemmy.ml are both run by competent techies and less knee jerk intolerance to anything other than the prevailing opinion there.
laverabe@lemmy.world 6 months ago
.ml is terrible. They actively ban people who aren’t tankies. Reasonable discussion is not allowed there. If there is one instance that should be defeated it is .ml

>They actively ban people who aren’t tankies.
this seems unlikely.
laverabe@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’ve seen multiple posts from people who were banned from .ml and I looked at the removed comments and modlog myself, and people are being banned for even mild general discussion of topics debating the legitimacy of totalitarian communist policy.
CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I’m not a tankie, and I haven’t been banned.
You sure you’re not confused with lemmygrad?
laverabe@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes I know a lot of people on .ml are not tankies but .ml admin is repeatedly banned anti tankies discussion. See my other comment above. Look at the modlogsand you’ll find people being banned for critical thinking. I blocked the instance because Lemmy <> lemmy.ml . The code can always be forked.

…if your metric is admin transparency, how the hell do you figure that Lemmy is worse than Reddit…?
I feel like Lemmy falls short in a lot of ways but transparency is not one of them
