The forced move is baffling, especially to .world of all places

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago

Yeah .world sucks. probably the worst instance after the tankie ones.

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So what happened at Blahaj?

[–] Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mods didn't like the instance owner enforcing the instance rules on "their" community

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Which rules were a problem?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I doubt it was the rules, so much as Ada going nuclear and just banning people as a knee-jerk reaction to anyone who disagreed with them.

I also find it kinda of stupid to be butthurt about moving to world because of other moderators on the instance that wouldn't necessarily moderate this or any other community made on the instance unless the community itself made them mods.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah that was definitely my impression of blahaj moderation. Shame the 196 mods dropped the ball by moving to .world of all places, and it certainly would have been good to ask the 196 users on blahaj first - they would probably have at least come up with a better instance to move to, if they agreed at all.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is Ada a person or a group or something?

Also: .world is already one of the biggest instances and fediverse is all about decentralization. And what ever Ada did on blåhaj, someone could do an .world too, right?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Ada is the admin of Blajah zone.

Also: .world is already one of the biggest instances and fediverse is all about decentralization.

Then run your own instance/community. That's the beauty of this system.

And what ever Ada did on blåhaj, someone could do an .world too, right?

They can, and sometimes do. On a mod level, and only in a handful of (terrible) communities. I have yet to see any kind of bias bullshit coming from the admin level.

  1. They were literally just asking mods to actually do some work and not simply banning people who disagreed with them or said particular phrases or keywords that many use to indicate a bad actor, without actually seeing if they were indeed a bad actor. Like what blahaj not only does, but is proud of.

  2. They postponed the changes until they can better clarify what the intent was due to all the blowback from people who didn't understand that.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Using an example of allowing flat earth comments was apparently the exact opposite of what they were trying to get mods to stop moderating, which doesn't generate much confidence in them getting it right the second time.

[–] LGTM@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

I think it's kind of funny that they mention to allow the flat earth comments when just previously saying that they want to prevent cult-like behavior; flat-eathers won't listen despite the evidence. Then again, verifiability doesn't seem to be holding strong these days

[–] NinjaFox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Transphobia and actually moderating reports. They never checked the blahaj.zone instance reports and left the admins to deal with them, then complained about how they were dealt with

[–] PeachyMcPeachface@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

This is just blatantly false. Not sure where Ada is getting this. I was on every day. We never had reports older than 2 days. Anytime we got a "reports are piling up" from Ada we had like 3 reports from the same day that were a few hours old.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I feel like someone should mention this because it's a conflict of interest; Kolanaki was banned from blahaj.

Not exactly unbiased in their complaining.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago

Nothing, then the mods locked it

[–] Akuji@leminal.space 38 points 1 month ago

Next time they'll move back to reddit, just you wait 🤣

At one point I had a team member nicknamed John Wayne, because no shit would stick to them.

I'm turned on anyway /j

I really hope these aren't my last comments

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It will be recorded in the An~~n~~als

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

People can do what they want, the only problem with .world is not enough niche communities and sometimes too much political content. Other than that, I don’t care. It has the most content turnover than other instances, so that’s less depressing.

Report bigotry and downvote/block trolls or assholes.

Lemmy.world is basically like Reddit 2.0.

196 admin decided to do it without warning or asking anybody

Wait now I have to block this community again?
