I made a number of comments in the post. @Serinus@lemmy.world is now policing how many you are allowed to have.
Here is the Announcement thread in general, in case you are unaware.
Serinus also claims 'Misinformation' for these comments
Ding ding ding. Hexbear and other instances get consideration and talked about behind the scenes. Anarchist.nexus was defederated by MrKaplan privately without any consideration at all from other admins. Kaplan even went out of their way to contact admins of other instances to attempt to get them to defederate from anarchist.nexus as well. When pressed about the popularity of anarchist.nexus, Kaplan then said "I don't know how you define relatively large, on fedidb they're listed as having 71 monthly active users" which led to someone else saying "That's top 10 for Piefed servers, according to fedidb. It would be top 40 for lemmy. We aren't swimming in the pacific here on the Fediverse. This is a small pond to begin with." A small pond that MrKaplan desperately wants to be the only big fish in. # Lemmy.world is using their position to bully smaller communities.
This is not, in fact, misinformation. I listed the screenshots in another comment directly proving this as correct. Here is that screenshot.
Correct. Also, this is quite important, but MrKaplan didn't talk to anyone else about this either. There was an instant and knee jerk response by the admins for this but they took literal weeks to do absolutely nothing about Jordan while saying they were looking into it for weeks. They, quite clearly, have made priorities.
Also not misinformation. Here is the screenshot from Kaplan admitting they never messaged anyone.
Anything to say, Serinus?
Edit: Of course he doesn't. He just banned me for 'sealioning and harassment' for this YPTB post.
I got a ridiculous response about how the "offending" instance only had 165 users so no problem.
What a fucking shit bird and I'm fucking pissed I just donated to the server on the last ask.
I've moved servers, I don't need to expanding the only apparent measurement of the worth of an instance. Been on .world for 3 years, but they can go piss up a rope if that's how they judge the fediverse and want to use admins like these two.
Yeah that was Serinus. The fact that comment has been left up and he hasn't been criticisized publicly for it is demonstration of how LW feels. Because its a small instance, it doesn't matter. LW is just bullying instances smaller than them to control the field. The majority of the admin team of LW needs to be completely replaced or defederation is the only acceptable option now. If they're going to threaten and bully, then everyone else needs to cut them off at the knees first to stop them from being able to do so.
"It's only 165 users"
And that's still 165 users that Lemmy.world was more than happy to defederate with to go after someone who isn't even an admin anymore. Not only that, but going after them for what Kaplan admitted was a lack of evidence. Just a feeling.
Letting a single admin unilaterally decide to defederate another instance because someone hurt their fee-fees and then never tried to contact the admin team itself tells you what's going on over there. Then this other twatwaffle defends them with that weaksauce explanation. Of course, they'll still be there going forward.
As I said in a followup comment, now I'm embarrassed I donated a few times in the 3 years I was there. I want my money back.
@Ruud@lemmy.world might be interested in knowing that, considering all his last comments are about donations.
