MODERATORS
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.
Oh no, really? That's awful...

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.

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.
Wow, I think that's the first fedi instance I've ever seen that's more or less dedicated to a single video game. Very cool.

What's wrong with world? (serious question) I know that ml has tankies and such but I've never heard of issues with world.
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.
This is my philosophy as well.
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 didn't mention this because I was unaware it happened, but I'm not in the least bit surprised
My comment quoting the Mueller report got deleted from .world because I was spreading “mis information”.
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.
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.
Oh I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for explaining.
Even so, that was quite the hot take even for someone to make as a regular user.

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's essentially Reddit 2.0, with all the baggage that implies.
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment
As of writing this comment, one of the most recent reasons a mod has removed a comment was: reason: Comm rule 3: Claims that Ukraine does not have a Nazi problem
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

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
sh.itjust.works my beloved 🙌🏾
They're both awful, but .ml is definitely a lot worse.
~~I posted the Tiananmen square copypasta to a Lemmy.world community and got banned from the instance :^)~~
~~Good riddance tbh.~~
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.

🦈🦈🦈🦈
Gulps down maple syrup in support.
I just wanted to be on the instance that gets updates the fastest :(
world is the lesser of two evils, but I still recommend going for a different instance
Why does it matter if it's all federated anyway
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.

Lemmy.world's bot problem is 1000x worse. No contest if this is the choice.
Yeah but .ml is completely infested with right wing trolls pretending to be leftists which is super obnoxious

What are some alternatives people suggest?
https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
This page lists all instances but also recommends some random ones with medium userbase and high uptimes. The idea of Lemmy is that users are spread out. Lemmy.world is massively inflated with users.
The problem with the smaller instances is that there's less support and it's more likely to shut down.
I like sh.itjust.works because it has the best name. Also the admins seem cool.
Also Canadian and on renewable energy.

I'm quite fond of this one. Admin is easily reachable and reasonable IME.
