Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home.
So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.
Where are you going?
Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to “stay legal”, they can start with those items.
I was already considering switching over to kbin fully just because they’re set up to interact with both Lemmy instances and Mastodon. Unfortunately the Mastodon side still feels a bit janky, but I’m hoping that’ll change as time goes on.
Which one are you thinking about? No instance has corporate interests AFAIK
if you want to go “well technically…” there are some mastodon instances that are VC funded (mainly in japan, though i think there’s like 1 or 2 in english), a few explicitly hosted by companies like vivaldi (the browser people) and medium, and misskey the software has built in support for running ads (though no western instance does that to the best of my knowledge)
none of them are lemmy, but they can all talk to each other
