They’re not though, they’re making excuses to make their restrictive policies seem more reasonable. They need to be made an example of for all the other fascists looking to get into fedi or host their own sites. Make examples out of services, don’t just let someone have a business or site because it’s theirs.

Those people who would go back to Reddit will do that already anyway, hell they probably already have. How many dead and inactive or barely active accounts are there here? Pulling the plug on instances who act pretentious sets the example for others looking to host their own services and if the people who never were committed choose to leave let them leave. They didn’t want to be here in the first place.

Admin culture is rotten to the core, and we need people to cull these rotten pretentious admins or it’ll get worse.

Because if they’re let be a lot of people won’t migrate. If they’re 502, 401, 404, or just broken (no connect) those stubborn people will be forced to pick a new home or give up on lemmy.

Whatever, they close down either way. No longer relevant.

Sabotage

You should quit talking out of your ass while you’re ahead… too late I guess…

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com To call them out.

@Makhno@lemmy.world you should also join in as well. Hold their feet to the fire and make their behavior known.

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone You should bad the Lemmy.world admin who removed this from your instance for being a power-tripping troll mod.

It’s their computers, their network storage, their internet hosting costs - they can do as they please. So too can you, e.g. move elsewhere, or even spin up your own instance. This shit gets expensive though, and people have irl jobs as well - this is VOLUNTEER efforts on their part!?!?

This is a weak ass excuse to cover for them, they opened their doors to the internet. They’ve very deserving of the criticism, and anything else they get as a result. That card is only justified if it were their computer at home. Arguing for private property rights elsewhere is corpo simping.

Be the change that you want to see in the world. And then watch as others are similarly not impressed.

Direct actions against them are also fair too. Don’t just boycott, bring them down. We don’t need people to make new servers to combat idiots like these, we need them to take down or sabotage the bad servers to limit the pool to ones that are decent.

I for one do not believe any person should be just allowed to operate a business without consequence, same goes for server hosting. If someone chooses to rip them out from under you, you probably deserve it.

Germany is honestly still a fascist country. People argue that they aren’t but they absolutely are, they just try and cope and say they aren’t fascist semantically by banning Nazi symbols.

Weak ass thin skinned Lemmy admins.

We need to really encourage people to stop donating to them too, don’t just migrate elsewhere hit them where it hurts. No donations they can’t pay the server bill and go out of business.
