  • I’m not gonna take responsibility and try to be your wake up call or anything, but this:

    The ease at which people have been able to point to something and say “_____ is why you’re banned” kind of scares me into thinking something deeper is going on.

    This thought would normally cause someone to be introspective. “What is it about oneself which is causing me to get banned?”. “Something deeper is probably going on” internally.

    For the record, I’ve only ever been banned once in my life for something I’ve done or said, and that was 15 years ago. There are ways to say and do things which won’t get you banned. I’ve been on many forums and participated in many subreddits. I’ve even moderated before. The fact that you have a written down online code of honor/ruleset (regardless of its contents) is a red flag.







  • I just skipped that and went straight for firefox with ublock. It’s not as good of an experience but I thought fuck it. Youtube’s going to fight these app solutions every time, but they probably can’t make Mozilla remove extensions. Plus I don’t have to be worried about logging my google account (even a burner) into an unknown dev’s app vs mozilla who I trust more.



  • This post breaks rules 1 and 3, but basically what the other comments said. It’s the biggest instance so it’s the biggest target. Some weeks ago there was a guy squatting community names and they got banned, after which they spammed new communities with random names, and the instance has been DDOS’d repeatedly. TBH no hard feelings towards lemmy.world, but I’ve switched to another one, used lemmy-migrate, and just resumed my scrolling. It’s not really worth it to stay there at the moment.
