Mods remove a post from /r/worldnews about Musk pushing for the US to leave NATO because it’s “not the appropriate subreddit”…? Excuse me, what the fuck???
[email protected] is still very popular but I saw the writing on the wall and jumped to make an alt [email protected] because people had gripes with the Midwest admin and I wanted to prevent an inevitable Lemmy.world alternative from appearing.
And now we happily co-exist. Theirs tends to focus more on the political while I like to also post the more mundane, slice-of-life, articles
/r/WorldNews is for non-US-political news, which makes some calls fucking weird. Yes, this impacts the rest of the world… but so does quite a fucking lot of US political news. Sharply drawing that fuzzy line is hard and these people must be tired.
Bro I was on Reddit when they were a fledgling service and bot-boosting to increase apparent traffic. Considering how Reddit has evolved in recent years, I’m frankly not inclined to give them in general, or /u/spez in particular, the benefit of the doubt.

Mod decisions always baffled me, both on Reddit and Lemmy. We aren’t immune to it.
But here it’s a lot easier to set up a new home.

Man goes to the doctor.
He says “Doctor, I am miserable. I have been banned from one of my favourite Lemmy instances for no good reason.”
Doctor says “Treatment is simple. db0 runs a community for disputing wrongful bans. Go argue with strangers. That should pick you up.”
“But, Doctor…” says the man, “I was banned by db0.”
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
