To be clear, jordanlund does not moderate news@lemmy.world, but the timing struck me as an odd coincidence.

Just something else I found recently

That’s not something that can simply be fixed by an apology. It’s something that would require some significant introspection.

The whole team should resign

Ada prefers not to jump in, to avoid power tripping. That's respectable, but in the meantime we are working on !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Why don't you unlock !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and let Blahaj admins deal with the selection of a new mod team?

That does not prevent you from managing !196@lemmy.world

we are not a (US) free speech instance

Thank you for reminding this. Some people always think that Lemmy.world is US-based or managed, while this is clearly not the case.

Lemmy, shortly followed by Piefed.

Will probably switch once Piefed gets mobile apps support and comments view

Federated LinkedIn incoming

Just sharing a personal experience here: I reached out to my country subreddit mods yesterday to ask if I could create a post about Lemmy in the context of the latest Reddit decisions preventing strikes.

They told me they would not allow it as it was self promotion, and that I should stop mentioning Lemmy in comments where people complain about Reddit.

Very frustrating when you see how active communities like !ich_iel@feddit.org is, as the subreddit mods promoted Lemmy during the 2023 strike

Good, this will push more people to alternatives

It's still okay for niche communities, and that's probably why people still go there

We have our own astroturfing bots, did we make it?

Sometimes I feel like people would like to restart this argument every time it is mentioned, even after 2 threads with hundreds of comments on the topic
