Hold up a sec, now you're just smearing people
It's just a mod in a COMMUNITY, lemmy.world has been pretty free-speech friendly
I would be more careful of BeeHaw & Sh.itjust.works & Lemmy.cafe, if you wanted to raise suspicions
Also, There's Mbin/Kbin & PieFed as alternatives to Lemmy
Beehaw gets a pass because they are trying to make a safe space. It's literally their motive. The mods there have repeatedly said they are anti-free-speech, but they are massively inclusive (until that inclusivity hurts someone else, IE they don't include transphobes, homophobes, Nazis etc).
Beehaw is a really friendly and welcoming place, they have great discussions, posts etc. Just... Treat everyone like a human, and don't be a cunt.
Surprisingly Beehaw is more welcoming than LW. LW is just full of power tripping ex-Redditors. I'd actually say that Reddit is better these days. It's mind boggling...
Beehaw is more welcoming, but them not federating LW and SJW probably removes 90% of the Lemmy content to their users.
Also, they don't plan to update to newer Lemmy versions, which also prevents their users from using new features like instance blocking.
Again, that's their game plan.
Federating with certain instances increases their moderators workload. Their moderators/admins are expected to perform at a high level (provide a safe place).
Beehaw respects their moderators/admins. So without the adequate moderation tools, defederation is pretty much their only option.
They are considering other community platforms. They are hoping federation/Lemmy works for them, but they aren't willing to compromise on their community goals
I am aware they want to switch to another software, and that's fine.
It just seems a bit ironic that they complained a lot in the past (and rightfully so) about the lack of moderation tools, but now they don't offer their users a very powerful one: user-level instance blocking.
What do you mean? I've used Lemmy.cafe for a while, never noticed anything worrying. Same for SJW.
Beehaw has been addressed in the other comment.
I've just banned everyone from SJW. /s
Thanks, at least now it's clear!
Ultimate power tripping move ha ha
I recall seeing a /conservative sub on .world but it has been removed. What happened to it?
Nah, lemmy.world admins are fucking lunatics.
