Reminder that centralization is bad and anyone who thinks this arrangement where a big power player like this can control discourse and whether or not an instance basically dies likely has an affliction to where boots taste good.

The admins should be above acting like snarky 12 year olds leveling serious insults at others which could risk landing someone in legal hot water/fuck over one’s reputation, as well as banning people for saying that their instance sucks, and is full of power tripping admins. I’d expect a little bit more professionalism from an instance that has a budget in the thousands. With their projected annual budget at an eye popping 5 figures range.
If someone here said Burggit sucks I definitely wouldn’t ban them and would like to know why and if there’s any changes that can be made to make the site more appealing to them, assuming they aren’t a troll. If they are a troll, and not breaking any rules, I’ll just disengage and have a good laugh.
Anytime I ban someone, providing they aren’t aiming to harm the site in any way, I always go for temp bans. I hate giving out permabans because I feel people should always have a second and third chance to correct their behavior.
Later on, I’m going to trial run a kbin instance and run it as a sorta sister site to Burggit. Maybe the feed will be less dull then because the wider fediverse doesn’t really appear to have such a huge hypocritical stick up their collective asses compared to the Lemmyverse.
burggit is a fine instance, and you don’t really wanna talk to anyone who would defed with you anyways. don’t sweat it and let .world be a shithole in peace. their antics will catch up to them in the long term
