My participation will be low here for the time being, but this is something that affects all. Brace yourselves.
Additional information that borderline fascistic instances like sopuli.xyz already exist (Finland NATO supporter), and lemmy.one (PrivacyGuides admin) is run by a US/Canada nationalist that defederated Lemmygrad day 1 and calls people here liberals.
“There is no flagship instance. The developers actively push sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org instead of lemmy.ml for multiple reasons.”
Lib is salty 😝
That’s not salty, the developers intentionally state it’s not the flagship instance and
help promote more “centrist” instanceshave stated a desire to see “mainstread, or liberal” instances to avoid lemmy.ml becoming… what it just became.Here is one of the devs saying so, in an official announcement post linked in the lemmy.ml sidebar: https://lemmy.ml/post/70280
Interesting…I wonder how the devs will respond to this situation when it unfolds
Currently i seen:
- They temp banned Yogthos for week but not anyone who were attacking him.
- They banned Freagle for 3 days for arguing, again, none of guys attacking him was banned
- They removed some comments by an open fascist troll, not banning him:
- Appointed new admin, seems kinda liberal iirc
- Only one of the new fash was banned (for a month), and he needed to write something like this:
Which community is this? Are communities allowed sovereign control over their content or does this fall onto the shoulders of the devs since it is in the primary Lemmy instance?
Afaik all lemmy communities had to respect overall lemmy rules, but they are free to make their own too. I’m not sure who deals the bans, but i guess lemmy admins can override community mods since i seen some weird ban/unban combos few times.
