I personally hide downvotes for this reason

This community is on .world, we’ll see

The last time I encountered a power trip mod, I created another community on the same topic, brought other people who were unsatisfied over, and the new community is much more active than the initial one.

It takes quite a while though.

Good to know, thanks!

Are they all active ? I just opened !horror@lemmy.ml and the last post was 18 days ago

At least 3 communities thar are not “tech news, political propaganda and memes”

• !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz
• !movies@lemm.ee
• !casualconversation@lemm.ee

Feel free to contribute there, I guess it’s easier to criticize than build something

Ah, that too, especially for new accounts

Shadowbans are really frustrating

Tell me a single place on the internet that would have less snarky or sarcastic answers.

Beehaw.org

I wouldn’t mind seeing these regularly.

Feel free to join us on !fedigrow@lemm.ee

these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently

Where has LW announced that they would be defederating?

If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

I feel the centralization of communities on WORLD is a far greater and thus more urgent issue for me.

Is it? Is there any level of power tripping similar to lemmy.ml?

Also

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

LW is already much more active than lemmy.ml (18k monthly active users vs 2.5k: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), so the system is working, people have left for a less politically biased instance

Pretty hard to boot when they own the instance

If there’s a community that only exists there, be the change you want to see: create it somewhere else and give it time to grow. You’re not the only one making this complaint about .ml, and you probably wont’ be the last.

Maybe we should open a thread on !fedigrow@lemm.ee about this

Fee free to join on !casualconversation@lemm.ee.

I’ve been trying to get a few “non tech/memes/news” communities lately, and this is by far the most successful

Interesting, which instance are you on?
