This is the power of the fediverse.
You can have all the anti speech rules you want on your instance, people can just start posting elsewhere using the same account and app.

We have a good chance now to see how well this theory works in reality. Exciting times!
It has already worked in the past.

The problem is that the community you might want to be involved with might be under them. The mods do not represent a community, and may even work against it. This is sort of what happened in reddit's worldnews, where its mods have worked to make it be the neozionist hotspot it is today.
You end up doing pretty much what you do in reddit if you want to continue participating in a community, just creating another alt and try to post when the asshole mods are not active. Most people don't just move on to the discount alternative community with 90% less people participating in it.
The whole algorithm of what a community is really needs to be reworked, but most people on lemmy just seem to want discount reddit.

The best part is the left wing instances that .worlders kept complaing are removing it less
That's not exactly a new phenomenon for .world.
General purpose instances are terrible for decentralization because they basically just put every reddit community on .world. instances revolving around a certain topic or region (like country instances or slrpnk or lemdroid) make more sense with the hierarchical structure of Lemmy.
Not sure what you mean, there are quite a few examples of communities being on other general instances than LW
Reddit power tripping mods migrated en masse to lemmy.world and recreated another Reddit environment there ! glad the fedivere isn't constrained to big servers. but this is still a big problem to resolve as those mods make it hard to engage in conversations with communities that are solely hosted on their instances.
with communities that are solely hosted on their instances.
This is the beauty of the Fediverse. If you don't like the way a community is being run, start a new one. It's a drum @[email protected] has been beating for a while.
As a matter of principle we should be wary of centralisation and think carefully about where to start a community. I'd also suggest starting communities elsewhere if the main one is on lemmy.ml.

I really need to get around to switching to a different instance.
I've found sh.itjust.works to be pretty decent so far.
Solid meme
From the linked thread, as a reminder:
This is not a lemmy.world admin, who would actually speak on behalf of the whole instance (Not that those haven’t done questionable shit either, but not to this level). It’s a mod on community that happens to be hosted on lemmy.world, and they are citing the lemmy.world ToS in bad faith. Just like a corrupt cop will think of some bullshit law to arrest you if they wanted to abuse their power.

LemmyWorld, you failed me son.
Maybe it's just me, but I never had that much of a problem with reddit mods. The only mods with which I had a problem, were tankie mods who had a problem with me calling them out on their mass murdering authoritarian bullshit
I came here because money hungry corpos fucked over my reddit client if choice and their official app sucks balls.
Reddit was easier because everyone pigeonholed themselves in subs they could exist in with minimum conflict. You wanted to be there. Jumping into All accidentally instead of your subscribed Front Page was often a surprise dumpster fire.
Lemmy is small enough that most participants don’t just stick to their subscribed communities, they go to All because there’s more to see.
Reddit didn’t have entire sets of communities banded together equivalent to an instance operating top to bottom with parallel internal ideologies that fanned out over the rest of the site and commented on everything. /conservative and /the_donald mostly kept to their kind, unlike here where grad and ml comment on things outside of their instance, or .world will find themselves commenting on a post from those communities. So some tankie will delete your comments if you rub the community the wrong way.

Thank you. I needed this meme in my life.
Lemmy is butter. Reddit is the margerin we had been consuming.
So those of us who aren’t tech geniuses are just stuck?
I’m using Voyager and Lemmy basically works like Reddit did for me. I don’t know what instance I’m ever on or how to see things.
