This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

They did it that way on purpose hoping more people would use it accidentally rather than it being a desired thing to use.

Yeah i dont like it goes against the open philosophy of lemmy imo

Same way with private votes, oh and they also want to force servers to manually review all user sign-ups (devs have literally said that to me) even for servers which can handle automatic creation and have spam protection bots in place.

A lot of things they do are surprisingly against the open nature of Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole.

Votes fundamentally cant be private due to the way Activpub works otherwise anyone with an instance can spoof an arbitrary amount pf votes (u can do this with extra accounts but its a whole proccess).

I think its cos the devs have very strong political opinions and are only now realising they are losing control of the narrative due to said open nature. The open nature of federation (and the free speach it enables) is our best strength that has the capability to reshape the digital narrative towards a free (as in freedom) and inclusive future.

Federarion is everythibg web3.0 promised to be but with blackjack and hookers.
