    I see a bunch of people on Lemmy World that don't understand how the fediverse works and refuse to run their own instances. Server admins can do what they want with federations, just like all the people here can do what they want when they run their own instances. If you self host you can federate with whoever you want to.

        I see a lot of people taking issue with how it was handled. An obvious troll controlling sock puppets apparently spurred this, sure.

        But the mods of Lemmy World went on a reddit-like spiteful ban spree, apparently forgetting that we can all see their modlogs or simply not caring about it. People got up in arms over the very childish and assholish behavior of the Lemmy World mods, and folks were eventually unbanned in some cases, but still banned from the main communities as punishment. For example, people saying they would just leave and federate their own instance got banned with mod messages telling them "let us help you with that".

            Unfortunately most mods become mods because they desire the power to do things like this. They don't want to help foster and grow a community, they just want the power to ban people they don't like at will.

        I don't know why they make drama out of this

        Because you keep coming back on additional alts to vomit more rage at LGBTQIA+ people. sus-soviet

            Idgaf about lgtv+ nosense

            You care enough to keep raging about it. In fact you seem to care about the topic the same way the Westboro Baptist Church does and put a lot of energy into caring about it. frothingfash

                No one's buying your claim that you're a brand new account that came from absolutely nowhere (only 8 hours ago, too) with no prior context routine. You're on the 5th or so alt as a bigoted chud that posts le edgy memes against LGBTQIA+ people, each of them with some signifier of your corporate loyalty to Bungie. pathetic

                    The previous four accounts with very similar Bungee-licking names got banned already.

                    We'll give you time to vomit rage just like the previous four times then see you next alt account. mao-wave

                        lol and you say i'm the one who needs to get a life

                        Where did I say that?

                        More to the point, I don't even pirate games, I just buy ones worth paying for and mind my own business regarding piracy. Unlike you, you sad pay piggy, coming to a community about piracy to do, basically, this.

      That's all well and good in theory, but in practice it isn't as easy.

      Communities here will naturally centralize to the biggest ones. If all of a sudden an admin of the instance that a certain massive community is on goes bananas and starts de-federating from all sorts of instances and makes stupid decisions, just saying "hurr durr just go and make your own instance and community" isn't helpful because 99% of the people there won't just pick up and start again on a different instance.

      The decentralized nature was supposed to solve the problems with centralization, but really all it does is make the same centralization problems happen more often.
