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.
3 years ago: "Oh neat, this instance seems to fit well for me "
Lately: Chuckles "I'm in danger!"
The way federation is protected from this shit happening is by people spreading out. Don't join a popular instance. You can still interact with them without being a member of their instance. If one instance gets power, like Lemmy.world, you just end up in another situation like Reddit, where they can control the platform. You should definitely leave, if you aren't already planning to. Find a small instance that does what you want.
Tbh it is a quick a painless process to jump from .world to another instance. I only done this the other day from .world and boy howdy the amount of content that I can see. The fediverse feels new again.
I did exactly that when lemmy.world leaked my user registration e-mail address to Israel (I! Kid! You! Not!) as I was loudly anti-Genocide and critical of Zionism and I started receiving invitations to an online "learn about Israel" event in it.
It was a very easy transition.
this deserves its own post wtf
There's not really much I can prove, especially if I don't want to reveal much about my identity.
Holy shit, got any more info you can add?
Well, according to what was written in the e-mail it was from a Tel-Aviv based organisation. Also it was in my native language, which isn't English.
That said, they only sent 2 or 3 e-mails and then stopped.
As far as I understand only Lemmy administrators of a user's instance have access to user registration e-mail address, not moderators.
All of that also kinda dovetails with the pro-Zionist tone of all the main forums in that instance (especially back then, when it used to be incredibly common to have your posts moderated away as "anti-semitic" in those forums for criticizing Israel) and, as shown here, at least one of their Administrators being an overt Zionist.
Further, it makes a lot of sense for Lemmy.world to be a target for infiltration for state actors since it's the biggest instance of a left-of-center social media system and hosts several of its biggest forums, so frankly none of that shit was all that surprising.
While saying everyone other istance against them is paid off by governments. Seeing as they project constantly...
This is very disturbing.
Yeah, I highly recommend starting your switch to another instance immediately. There is a discussion happening behind the scenes for a number of other major instances to defederate from lemmy.world if LW does indeed go through with the defederation from dbzer0 because, at that point, Kaplan will have proven a few things.
That Kaplan/LW admins value individual users like themselves over the entirety of an instances users
That Kaplan/LW admins are not willing to engage in the same type of reporting behavior that they ask others to do
That Kaplan/LW admins will be taking nuclear options in order to bully smaller instances into bowing to what they want you to do
That Kaplan/LW admins will be policing what you think as they have literally zero evidence that there is any support for Luminous' behavior and, in fact, has been pushback. It's so ridiculous that Jordan Lund said this in their moderator chat for Lemmy.world. A chat that I just sit in and quietly drink my tea watching them lie boldfaced.
"major instances"
lol
The welcome mat is ready for you on DB0
