This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:

The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.

Did they really do it again, fucking hell. I came here for a better experience then Reddit and I feel like it’s starting to be a worse experience then Reddit. Transparency from admin my ass.

    ...if your metric is admin transparency, how the hell do you figure that Lemmy is worse than Reddit...?

    I feel like Lemmy falls short in a lot of ways but transparency is not one of them

    Transparency is there in the sense that the modlog makes clear that a lemmy.world admin blocked the community. If it were Reddit we'd never know how, just that it is blocked.

    That's weird, I haven't seen u/spez around here lately.

    Reddit was great for at least 5-10 years, the main issue that caused everyone to leave was that it became corporatized and had to start making a profit. That can literally never happen on Lemmy, because it's free and decentralized. So yes, Lemmy is special and insulated from corporate abuse. If you can't understand the value of that, you may as well go back to reddit.

    Try a better instance. Lemm.ee and Lemmy.ml are both run by competent techies and less knee jerk intolerance to anything other than the prevailing opinion there.

    .ml is terrible. They actively ban people who aren't tankies. Reasonable discussion is not allowed there. If there is one instance that should be defederated it is .ml

    this seems unlikely.

    I've seen multiple posts from people who were banned from .ml and I looked at the removed comments and modlog myself, and people are being banned for even mild general discussion of topics debating the legitimacy of totalitarian communist policy.

    I'm not a tankie, and I haven't been banned.

    You sure you're not confused with lemmygrad?

    Yes I know a lot of people on .ml are not tankies but .ml admin is repeatedly banning anti tankie discussion. See my other comment above. Look at the modlogs and you'll find people being banned for critical thinking. I blocked the instance because Lemmy <> lemmy.ml . The code can always be forked.

    User accounts can be migrated to new instances with version 19

    You’ve hit the nail on the head. The Lemmy experience is quickly beginning to sour. They’ve received an influx of trolls and I’ve run into a few moderators now that seem to be taking harsh actions. Maybe Lemmy isn’t for me after all.

    The thing is, this actually if anything proves the strength of the fediverse. Lemmy.world is not Lemmy and Lemmy is not the fediverse. Just find another instance that has not blocked the community yet and carry on with your day.

    Lemmy.world have every right to curate the experience for their users as they see fit and/or feel comfortable carrying the risk for.

    Maybe you guys are getting downvoted for conflating Lemmy on the fediverse as a whole with Lemmy.World.

    These actions don't affect anyone not on Lemmy.world, assuming db0 federates with you, !piracy is still there for you

    yep I got downvoted, as expected. More proof. What's a surprise. Just like Reddit

    Where have I heard it before? If my memory serves me right, it was very popular cope on another discussion platform. What a surprise. Just like Reddit.

    did you think you're going to get a hero's welcome?
