So these socialist admins banned some people from all socialist communities. Then the liberal admins from the largest instances banned all socialists from all instances as collective punishment. Because... authoritarianism?
I mean that explanation doesn't explain why the socialist instances are all pre-banned and pre-censored on the mainstream instances. Which makes the poster perfect irony.
They banned people from all communities on their instance, not just political ones.
I assume you're talking about Lemmy world? They didn't ban all socialists from all instances as that's impossible. They defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad because they saw how toxic their userbase was. They're still federated with lemmy.ml because their users behave normally.
Could we get a brief explanation for why those are bad too? I left a different instance because they removed down votes, but I just picked world because I saw more posts and comments from them at the time. It's been more mixed lately
You mean BlahajZone, LemmyWorld, and SlrPnk? I think they're generally pretty good. LemmyWorld has some problems due to its size and older versions of Lemmy.
