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.

    It’s illegal to talk about piracy and shrooms? I can see posts getting deleted for directly trafficking in pirated stuff or if someone was trying to openly sell sketchy drugs.

    Anything that is allowed on this site could be a target for legal action. Even their unverified access to porn is grounds for legal action in most places.

    You need to look at the complete picture of the bias that is involved.

      It’s still their community for which they were the administrators. Don’t like their administrative decisions? Don’t use their instance. Then you aren’t beholden to their guidelines but still get to participate in communities resident to that home server.

        I am on other instances. The problem is that they are, like it or not, the first impression that new users get of Lemmy and the rest of the federation.

        beholden to their guidelines

        I am all for that! They need to properly define those guidelines. While it is “their” instance, the intent is for it to be publicly accessible. Continuity with their own guidelines is kind of important to help this space grow as a public instance. I don’t care what those guidelines are, just make them consistent.
