Thank you for your insight, have a good one!

Alright, to be honest that whole right-wing issue with MWoG was kind of on my backlog.

I remember seeing a few problematic threads from the main mod in the past, especially advocating to keep federation with exploding-heads:

• They aren’t neo-nazis.
• No, don’t de-federate. If you don’t like it, block it, easy as that. Lemmy is meant to be better than reddit, which means dealing with opposing views. If they’re triggering or offensive to you, block them.
• Because they’re minding their own business and you keep trying to make a dramatic decision for all of us.
• But all of the communities and controversial posts are posted inside the exploding-heads instance.

@goat@sh.itjust.works, do you still stand by those comments?

Leftists are banned from that comm if they contextualize

I just had a look at the modlog (https://sh.itjust.works/modlog/25693), there seems to be indeed a few strange cases for “apologia”. Unfortutanely, we can’t see the comments in this cases.

I’ll edit my comment in the meantime to remove the mention to MWoG.

While we are discussing, what is your stance on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?

I link to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com any time a mod power trips, the most recent examples being the Lemmy.world decisions to remove comments about jury nullification.

If (removed) screens are taken out of context, people who want to add the context can come in and explain it.

If that mod bans them, then it’s power tripping, it’s going to be reported to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and then many people (including me) will probably stop using that community

Impressive patience in this discussion

Nice comment

If instances are like separate Reddits then it is just like getting a siteban.

Indeed, and like Reddit, people are leaving for other sites, or in this case instances

That’s probably the core of the issue. People probably don’t mind being banned from !politics@lemmy.ml or !news@lemmy.ml for such statements, it’s not like it’s a surprise based on the political stance of the instance.

Being banned from Linux and keyboard communities seems unrelated. Which is why people are recreating those communities elsewhere.

make your own

That’s what most people are doing

And how is this related to mechanical keyboards, Linux and open source communities?

To me it is wrong for such prominent instances to always be the ones getting away with this type of behavior

I wasn’t going to mention it, but as it’s not your first time, (removed) is more specific than !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Instances known for power tripping are getting less and less popular over time

They already are

The trick is that besides tech, memes, news and politics, there isn’t really that big of other communities.

Like if you like owls, just go to !superbowl@lemmy.world , there’s no second one

!newcommunities@lemmy.world

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

Thank you for clarifying!

Ah, that could be it, thanks!

Lemmy 0.19.6 and 0.19.7 were released in November, shouldn’t this change be included in those versions?

That’s indeed how I moved a few.

It’s usually fine

There is a post on !meta@lemm.ee about this, no answers from the admins so far

Edit: seems like they caught up: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/bdid38k9p0t1cf/federation-health-single-instance-overview?orgId=1&var-instance=lemm.ee&var-remote_instance=lemmy.ml&from=now-7d&to=now&timezone=browser
