Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home.
So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.
Where are you going?
Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to “stay legal”, they can start with those items.
You say a lot of things, but do you have evidence of them? Or is it just related to them doing what’s actually required to avoid giving the people DDoSing them another means of taking them down, fake DMCAs based on communities hosted in other instances that promote breaking the law?
And before anyone gets any idea, if they tried doing the same because they are mad, expect for it to backfire. Spectacularly. As in you might want to think twice before moving directly into the servers hosting those communities. And that’s not a threat, that’s because anyone with a brain can read, specially those in the legal world who have jobs because there is literally a separate aspect of legal proceedings involved in collecting evidence called discovery where lots of people with brains are able to read and understand the same conversations you and me are able to understand for instances that might indicate aiding, abetting, and collusion, being able to discern them from the false accusations thereof as well.
I hope in real life you don’t come across as as much of a dick as you do here
As a dick who makes wild claims yet provides no evidence of them?
Yes, that does factor into it quite heavily.
My own 💅
Interesting point to say they are spez-like while they just want to comply with local regulations
They can do that! As a matter of fact, I support compliance with local regulations.
The problem is, they aren’t. They are picking and choosing laws to follow. Their instance is located in Germany, but yet, their marijuana legalization laws are only in draft: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2023/07/10/germany-unveils-draft-bill-to-legalize-cannabis/?sh=5ed53b322726
They are using the justification that “some things are illegal in some countries” as grounds for community suspension, yet, they are picking and choosing.
The admins are Dutch. Marijuana is legal in the Netherlands.
The instance is in Germany from what I understand. Regardless, their justification was that shrooms are illegal in most places. That being their main point sets up the contradiction that I am referring to. It casts a bit of doubt on the intent and how to interpret rule 1.
The admins don’t have to abide by their rules, but we do.
Start your own instance. Then it’s the best™
Not with this soggy sock running it.
The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of “why you trying to start shit”
But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what’s the go?
The usual resource is to look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, filter by 1m, and then have a look at the top 20.
spez-like
That’s probably the biggest insult you can say ton any person on this platform
If the shoe fits though
Wow. People are salty that lemmy.world wants to stay legal? Interesting…
Is this because of the recent defederation from piracy instances?
This instance is a “open to everyone” instance.
