  • I'll keep beating this drum until the situation changes: the best solution is to block .world and move on. I've done so, and I have zero shortage of interesting content to look at or places to discuss $topic. And anyway, it's not healthy for one instance to have too many users or too many communities. The point of federation is to spread out, so the network is resilient to problems.

    • Blocking an entire instance because of one crappy redditesque powermod means he wins.

      1. I'm back in the big-name LW communities now since I semi-moved to Piefed, and I don't like it. There's always an incredible amount of stupidness, in addition to often some pretty bad moderation. I used to just avoid them because the experience is almost always better in the smaller communities. Lemmy.world itself is fine, a small community there is really no different than a smaller community on most servers, but the big popular ones are nigh unbearable, there are always shouty people with just really bad opinions.
      2. I do feel like there's value in not ceding the ground. Lemmy.world is bad because when Lemmy gets big, it gets bad, because its moderation model isn't sustainable without a significant amount of pain. I don't know what the answer is, but somebody should solve it if Lemmy is ever going to grow much beyond its current size or it's going to get exponentially worse.

    • You do you, but I think blocking a whole instance because of some bad mods is an overreaction. Particularly when that is the largest one on lemmy. Getting bad mods identified and removed would fix it for you and everyone else, without needing to sacrifice access to a lot of quality content and conversations.

      Also, finding lemmy.world moderation to be intolerable but continuing to post regularly to lemmy.ml makes me doubt your judgement.
