Dunno if it really fits here, but I figured it was worth sharing and there isn't anywhere else it would go

I found this really relatable, as someone who used to be a mod on a Lemmy instance before I basically got run out of the server I was on by intolerant bigots. Everything came to a head with this brigade on the server's admin (who is a good dude as far as I can tell):

Leading up to this, leftist trolls had been brigading my communities, throwing fits about me sharing left wing articles and flooding my posts with downvotes. I didn't mind the downvotes because Lemmy is a leftist platform at the end of the day, but did make a rule against "I don't like that website" comments because it amounted to spam.

It is difficult to cultivate flourishing communities centered around news, current events, or politics on Lemmy that isn't a BlueAnon echo chamber. This is why I am here (using Lotide) and don't plan on using Lemmy again anytime soon. The community is far too toxic and propagandized to be a healthy place for political discourse.

Wow, I just read all of the stuff in those links. This stood out: @bdonvr, admin of The Lemmy Club has, in my opinion, responded in good faith to the concerns raised in this post, and so I have withdrawn my proposal for defederation. In summary: They will no longer be allowing conservative/right wing communities on their instance

So much for Lemmy being all about diversity. lol

I wouldn't be surprised at all if this eventually happens to my communities, but so far the admin has been amazing and truly believes in diversity. But I'm sure that people will keep hammering on him.

some of the people try to bully to control the content which really just destroys what the fediverse is supposed to be.
