Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely at least one top lemmy.world admin who is still in the team and is an asshole who will happily make shit up while sweeping problems they created under the rug, but lemmy is also buggy enough on its own, it seems.
No, it wasn’t federation issues. I can see why you think that and I wish it were that. I didn’t take screenshots because I thought we were away from the old place, but I could have proven it. They’re EEEing through lemmy world and I hope ruud isn’t in on it. They’ve figured out how to silence people with the most used instance. It makes me wonder how many have already left because of them, I’m thinking of leaving myself.
Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised, it goes hand in hand with my experience and other’s experience with them. If Ruud isn’t in on it, he sure is an expert about keeping quiet about it and leaving it to those responsible. But do take pictures and specially web.archives, which can’t really be faked, and just keep the link to it saved somewhere.
Little else that can be done about it, I tried to get the instance he made false allegations in involved because he had apparently linked to CP and CSAM content as proof, but the SFW “No porn” instance he made the accusations in (yes, he used another alt to potentially put another competing instance in trouble) didn’t even seem to care about all the NSFW links that were potential links to pedophilia themselves, so I would say the degree of impassiveness is pervasive, hypocritically so, which is odd for a social network alternative that tries to sell itself as an alternative to the abuses in other social networks. Took evidence, reported the claims of CP and CSAM to the appropriate authorities, saved the ticket numbers, and moved on. Maybe there is something one could do, since it’s clear who it is and libel, abuse of authority, and making false allegations do seem like things that would be prosecuted, but the cost of going the legal route would probably be a lot more than any compensation or consequence they could get as a result.
That’s disappointing to hear. I’m wondering if they’re just reddit or meta in disguise practicing the eee early. There are so many people over there that wouldn’t know to check if their posts are being removed. It could just be trolls fucking with people to be the number one instance and then sell it, who the fuck knows. I really like this instance, but I’m almost positive lemmy.world users are being shown what world decides they want shown. Whatever, I’ll just hang here at sh.itjust.works and see how it goes, the instance owner seems like they’re listening to the users.
