Someone is really out to get lemmy.world lately.

I feel like with every update there is at least one attack.

We’re having fun and trying to build a positive space. And we have real potential to succeed in growing large. Can you think of a single faster way to attract trolling on the internet?

It’s a lot more likely than someone like spez taking a break from plundering his company to piss off a modest number of internet randos in some internet corner somewhere, which would barely be a drop in the bucket of his problem anyway.

The overall effect of this is so small, it almost has to be someone(s) with too much time on their hands. If they had any kind of real power, they wouldn’t be wasting their time on these chump change attacks.

Maybe it was their refusal to take a stance on Meta and Threads? The admins of .ml said it took them 2 minutes to decide to preemptively defederate. .World on the other hand came to an anti-corporate platform and publicly took a position that they would wait and see about federation with Meta.

It’s like saying “power to the people and viva revolution but we are also remaining open to licking boot depending on the circumstances.”

The whole point of lemmy.world is that it’s a general, welcome-to-all instance.

If you want server admins who take overtly political stances and actions on behalf of their users, you need only look elsewhere.

I literally left Lemmy.world and stopped recurring donations to switch to Lemmy.ml

But you’re muddying the waters with a disingenuous argument. They can be open to all individual users without being open to connection with possibly the worst actor in the social media space.

You’re also mischaracterizing staying free of giant corporate influence as “taking overtly political actions blah blah on behalf of its users” and starting to sound 100% like a corporate shill with absolutely dogshit arguments that only a moron wouldn’t see through.

Who is worse, Meta or the people who want nothing to do with Meta?

The answer to that is extremely easy.

Protecting their users from bad actors is exactly what server admins should be doing as good admins. That’s not political, and go lick boot somewhere else.
