      The mods here also abuse their power to remove posts they disagree with that don’t violate any written rules.

        You mean they don’t let you rules lawyer? The horror!

        Lemmy.ml is right-out funny with its decisions sometimes, especially when it comes to politics. Write a couple of paragraphs of policital analysis going very much against tankie grain and use the word “muppet” once, “Deleted: Be polite”. Meanwhile, people around you are throwing slurs at each other. Wisen up and avoid that and you’ll get temporarily banned for “disinfo” for repeating something out loud that was written in the thread’s article: No, Ukraine does not lay claim to the Russian territories it officially describes as “historically Ukrainian-speaking”. The article said so, Ukraine says so, and never said anything else either.

        Rules are only as good as the mods enforcing them, it’s as simple as that.

        I feel like people need an education about the difference between spirit of the law and letter of the law.

        This comment reads like this:

        “I posted some truly heinous shit and a mod/admin removed it but I didn’t break any written rules therefore my right to force other people to be subjected to my desires was impinged upon😭😭😭😭.”

    I run my own tiny instance so that I can feel special. And so that I can overspend on cloud infrastructure and stress out about uptime.

        It runs perfectly fine most of the time and then will occasionally lock up my entire server until I reboot.

        I’ve been working on getting some better monitoring and log aggregation set up so I can troubleshoot what is actually happening but it’s a bit slow going. As of now I can’t tell if the database is getting overloaded, if the frontend is getting spammed, or what is going on really.

        My instance has two users and it runs on a VPC with 2 CPUs and 4GB of RAM.

          Check the ram usage on postgres. Theres a memory leak issue thats being monitored with a proposed fix in the next version (which is upgrading to the newer version of postgres)

            Thank you! I was secretly hoping someone might have a quick suggestion of something to try. I’ll see what I can find out.

                Usually by the time I notice the server is already unreachable over SSH but I’ve been considering adding manual healthchecks to my containers. Paired with the docker-autoheal project it’s been a really low effort way for me to keep services healthy without a lot of babysitting. I’m more nervous about implimenting it for something like a stateful database though, but I suppose it’s no different than manually issuing a docker restart command.

      Same here! My background is in systems architecture, so I love this stuff.

      Though I run mine on my own “private cloud”. Even though it sounds like an amateur operation I’ve got the proper safety nets in place (backups, redundant power, firewalls, etc). A lot of instances are public cloud which is cool and I have nothing against that, I just wanted to do something a little different.

      I have no idea how to get people to join but I hope to have some friends in here some day :D

    Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Lemmings use the instances, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Fediverse. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through the dormi.zone, the shitposts called to me.

      It’s got a strong neoliberal bias. In my experience, the users on .world are fairly diverse in opinions and philosophy, but the mods tend to be pro-status quo centrists – with exceptions, of course.

      I recall a mod on their politics community who posted a mod-flaired comment informing us that “the United States is not a racist nation.”

      Some of their policies seem questionable as well, such as blocking piracy communities or disallowing archived versions of paywalled articles. It feels like the sort of thing reddit would have done to appease advertisers.

      I’ll admit I’m biased because I haven’t had the greatest experience with some specific .world mods, one in particular who is fond of calling people “morons” for criticizing Biden. To be fair, I’ve seen another more rational mod remove that particular mod’s comments, but it seems to keep happening anyway.

        disallowing archived versions of paywalled articles

        Really? I can’t stand paywalled articles especially on sites where sharing the article (here, on Lemmy) is the main point of it all.

        I always link to an archive.ph or archive.org version because not only does it help bypass all that crap but it also preserves it for future generations.

        This platform is for all of us, not just those who can afford WaPo or The New York Times subscriptions.

          And yet when they got hit by CSAM, it was up for hours. Now they’re trying to blame image hosting sites when it’s their own bad moderation that’s to blame. Really awful mods and admins on that instance, from what I’ve seen.

        Let’s not forget the people who were just straight up banned when they expressed their disapproval of banning the pirate communities.

        You’re definitely right, a lot of the time this place feels like Reddit lite

        I recall a mod on their politics community who posted a mod-flaired comment informing us that “the United States is not a racist nation.”

        To be fair, there is no option to comment not flaired as a mod once you become one. Which honestly seems like an oversight. I’m quite active so I’ve volunteered to mod some big communities that have asked since I’m more likely to see a report but I dislike that now it’s as though I can’t properly participate as just a normal user.

            No argument there. I do think this cusses confusion though. I’ll have to see if there’s already a feature request.

      Frankly, it’s just way too big, which can make performance bad, makes it a target for attacks and due to the huge user base it’s harder to upgrade. That’s why .world is still on 0.18.5 while most of lemmy is at 0.19.3.

      Also, from what I’ve seen the admins can get a bit powertrippy.

        It was removed by a mod from feddit.de though. Not like that is LW’s problem unless you want admins to personally intervene with the moderation of every community on their site

        Hmm looked my username up there to see what reasoning was given for why i was banned from world news after calling out russian propaganda.

        Says, i broke lemmy.ml’s rule 2. But i thought i was banned from world news, which itself was hosted on lemmy.world. like either way, nothing of value was lost to me, just confused about which shithole im banned from commenting in. Is it all of lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, or just the world news sub?

        E: grammar und clarity

    lemmy.world requires an email and defederated from hexbear

    lemmy.ml doesn’t require an email but gets you banned for “genocide apologia” when arguing to vote for biden on hexbear or arguing that liberalism and fascism are two different things.

    I came to lemmy thinking tankies are a myth so I had to learn the hard way :D

    Edit: looks like I was only banned from technology@lemmy.ml and my client then decided to not let me post anywhere else on that instance.

      Iirc being unable to do that is a problem involving ActivityPub itself, so it’s not Lemmy’s fault.

      It does and it doesn’t in some key ways. Luckily we all have the option to register somewhere that aligns with our individual personal values (or selfhosting). However communities tend to grow on the large instances since the high user base gains automatic exposure via local and all’ feeds. Meaning while we can choose who to trust our account with if the biggest communities are hosted elsewhere you’re at the mercy of large instance admins either way.

        IMO the local feed needs to die for this reason. A few big instances shouldn’t be able to set the course for all of Lemmy by deciding what instances get community growth.
