Get a load of this guy. Apparently, putting forward "beliefs and ideology" are against their code of conduct.

His comment about blocking lemmygrad don't seem that bad to me, it's getting a bit annoying seeing lost dotworlders thinking they're the first one to ever say "communism bad."

? they already have enough material to make up a reason lol. If they want to get their feelings hurt because I called them deranged on lemmygrad they can go ahead. They're already throwing the idea forward to their users and I promise the ban is going to follow pretty quickly no matter what we do. I'm behaving pretty well on .world rn I think that's plenty

    Yeah, they don't really need any excuse whenever they've already manufactured an imaginary enemy out of us. Regardless of how, idk, normal and sane or whatever we all tend to be (because we're human fucking beings), to them we are

    1. warmongering Putin stans
    2. LGBTphobic (hilarious given our demographics)
    3. basically Nazis, maybe even worse
    4. Sinophiles and Islamophobes
    5. literal bots
    6. terrorists

    on and on and on. Reading those comments is simply a sight. There is no conversation to be had.

    The thing that bugs me the most is the admin worship. I'll be the first to say as a regular user here, any of you admins start doing silly shit I won't "respect your decision", I'll criticize your asses for it. I know you'll listen, though, because you're not petulant liberals who throw tantrums when presented with the mildest criticisms.

    Dotworld really does seem to be becoming just like reddit. I thought the whole appeal was decentralization and community building, but I guess it's really just an ego-fluffing project.

    it's the concern trolling for me. Over, and over, I see things like "oh, they're saying they won't ban users for breaking other instances' rules!" but like... their admins literally never ban people who come try and troll us in here, and the 2 or 3 times I've pointed that out I get nothing but downvotes because they don't have a good response for that

    They even have old.lemmy.world, which looks EXACTLY like old Reddit. They want to be Reddit so bad 💀

    I suspect that dot world is one tool in a larger plan to manage the decline of centralised social media to ensure that the capitalists still control online discourse. I can't otherwise think of an explanation for how Reddit allowed so many users to flock to a couple of instances. Previously, mentioning Lemmy on Reddit would be hidden from users if not outright deleted. Reddit did not tolerate the competition. Now they plan to defederate from one (soon to be two, no doubt) instances that started on Reddit but were kicked out for left-ist views. And after that they plan to federate with the corporate instances.

    I wouldn't be surprised if dotworld specifically was administered by people related to Reddit Inc. The admins are generally very technically competent and it grew so fast with barely any technical difficulties that I wouldn't put it past them from being at least supported by some larger tech company.
