Yup. Can’t compare pictures when the venue is different.

Yeah. Lemmy’s biggest strength (decentralization) has also shown to be one of it’s biggest flaws when micro-managing admins/mods turn their instance into their own personal fiefdom, inflicting their “justice” broadly and without discernment. I’ve been banned more here in under 2 years than on reddit for over 13, almost exclusively for voting “wrong” according to what feedback I can find, which is a a seriously treacherous practice in communities like these. I have no real sense of loss over it, but I do worry the Lemmy-verse will end up with tons of siloed off instances instead of an interconnected community if it goes on unadressed.

Is there any other valid strategy than “leave the country”? Even that’s not gonna be fullproof, but legal defenses aren’t going to be of any use here.

All caps doesn’t make you cool or interesting. Just annoying.

As much as I want the update, I respect their respect for their devs. Let crunch be a thing of the past.

What if? That’s absolutely what they’re trying and they’ve said as much.
