Summary:
-
Mod of an inactive community is upset that I try to build !leagueoflegends@lemm.ee rather than !leagueoflegends@lemmy.world and removes a comment encouraging a user to crosspost their question
-
Mod action: https://lemmy.world/comment/14369112
-
They then come to the lemm.ee community and use incorrect data such as “this community has no posts by other people than you” (it does, 4 posts in the last 11 days, while theirs had 2 in the last month) https://sopuli.xyz/post/21608236?scrollToComments=true
-
They accuse me to be on a “vendetta” against LW while I’m the main poster on !lego@lemmy.world , !photography@lemmy.world , !gardening@lemmy.world and !homeimprovement@lemmy.world
-
they try to bargain the consolidation of !television@lemmy.world and !showsandmovies@lemm.ee , while that has nothing to do with the league of legends communities (television and showsandmovies were both active, here the LW version hasn’t had a post in the last 23 10 days)
The whole post seems strange to me, what do you all think?
Additional context: https://fedihosting.foundation/lw-team/
.world mods and admins are just seething right now because they were unsuccessful in moving 196 to .world. The whole community just fucked off to !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
This behaviour will just continue, its what .world is destined to do because they think we need them.
Y’all are assigning way to much maliciousness to the people running a non-profit.
I usually trust LW, especially Ruud. One point I just don’t get is why staying federated with Threads
i think it was ruud who banned me for antiwhite racism from political memes, purely because Iinked readsettlers.org .
I trust him as a sysadmin. Not sure he does that much moderation these days
I actually think that’s part of the problem. If you don’t eat your own dogfood, you don’t know where the problems are.
True, but at the same time maybe he doesn’t want to talk on Lemmy that much. Also I think they also manage Mastodon, that would be something to stay active there regularly too
Yes, but again, this is part of the problem. Ruud deciding to host and maintain a dozen fediverse services he doesn’t use personally is a choice, which has these sort of effects.
I personally run lemmy and only lemmy because I use it all the time and know exactly what’s happening here and what the drama is and can put my development time into improving my instance.
I’ve seen a lot of LW users behaving like this.
They want a single comm per topic, preferably in LW; and everyone should go to that comm, no dissidence allowed. Always talking about “not splitting efforts”, or some FUD like “unless we gather together Lemmy will never succeed”.
And, when you tell them a clear “no”, they throw a tantrum. Like Serinus did there.
I think that they got out of Reddit, but they didn’t get Reddit out of themselves. They still behave like this was a Reddit-like monolithic platform; so when they see decentralisation - like multiple comms for the same topic, in different instances - they treat it as a bug, when it’s a feature.
Anyway, I’d call that FAPTB (failed attempt of powertripping).EDIT: wow, they removed your mention of the other comm! Talk about pettiness.

Maybe we should point them out to Discuit and their 181 weekly active users: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/NlAdOWAp
Some people indeed don’t seem to understand that if Lemmy has 43k monthly active users, it’s thanks to the different instances and community. Would ml been a single forum, most of the people wouldn’t have even registered. LW could have a decent following, but the regular debatable policy updates would have probably pushed people away.
Sounds like Discuit should add apub integration. At this day and age it honestly baffles me that people like the devs of raddle and discuit go all like “No we don’t want to talk to anyone else. You have to join our walled garden!”
There are at least 4 or 5 forums on /r/Redditalternatives which could definitely benefit from ActivityPub, but they don’t see the appeal.
One of them even asks for people credit card information to avoid bots

Ye I know, it’s fucking bizarre. Every 6 months, a new reddit alternative comes up which doesn’t have apub and expects to get user by sheer charm or smt.

Lol, at an age where people are preconditioned to assume this means a subscription lock-in and the rest don’t even own one, I wonder how many people took them up on that offer.
I also love the naivety of thinking $3 once will stop spammers. As if that wouldn’t be a perfectly cheap amount to pay to spam all their users if they had a lot of them. Twitter has $8 a pop and it’s innundated with spam

Well put. It’s a bit disheartening, because people put time and energy in those projects, that could be used to develop the existing open source platforms…
Software devs and their “I can build this better from scratch in one weekend” mentality, mate…
we think flat earthers should be more respected than leftists on our instance
People rush faster off lw
lw harrases people posting elsewhere
Does lw have the same PR philosophy of musk and spez?
Am I just using Lemmy differently from these people? I want to find a community, I go to search, it pulls up all connected instances, I pick which one has the highest subscribe count regardless of what instance it’s on and use it like any other community. (Well, minus tankie instances). It’s really no trouble if it’s somewhere else and half the times I don’t even notice.
