  • 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admin of The Lemmy Club has, in my opinion, responded in good faith to the concerns raised in this post, and so I have withdrawn my proposal for defederation.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.



  • They legit stole his community from him. And then laughed about it. So much for Lemmy celebrating diversity.

    But I’m happy to see that there are some more conservatives coming to Lemmy. !Conservative2@lemmy.today is a new comm started by a more moderate conservative.

    He doesn’t like me and was so annoyed by my community that he started his own. I don’t mind it though and I think the more conservative voices the better.

    I did warn him to be careful of takeovers and that he’ll have to be sure to mod every single day or he can lose it. He wasn’t super friendly to my advice though. But hopefully he sticks around.

    He’s about to find out just how hateful the alt-left of Lemmy can be though.















  • Yep, Ella was totally on board with giving the conservative community over to that troll. But I notice they haven’t posted in two months. So maybe they are one of the admins stepping away from it because of stress?

    So to be honest, I’m sorta celebrating Lemm.ee’s demise. Just like they celebrated ruining the conservative community.

    It’s been hilarious watching people searching for a new instance saying they want an instance as “open” as Lemm.ee was. lol






  • they banned the conservative community

    Worse than that, they let a troll take it over and turn it into an anti-conservative community. And they knew he was gonna do that that.

    I’m all for someone making an anti-conservative community, just make your own new community. Don’t take over an existing conservative community do to that. That’s high-level censorship.

    I’m not sad to see them go at all after how that all went down.

    Before that BS, the sub was decent. But it went to shit real quick around that time.


  • Oh wow! That’s crazy. But yeah, you’re right, it wasn’t the same after the new people took over.

    I guess the conservative community there–that they let get taken over by a troll and turned into a joke community–wasn’t really the thing they should have been concentrating on. They were so busy shutting down anyone who was a conservative, that they lost sight of what Lemmy is really about about.

    So after what they let happen to the conservative community and how they treated conservatives there, I don’t feel bad at all that they are shutting down. Never super awesome when a lemmy instance goes down, but they didn’t believe in a diversity of voices and opinion, became way to censor-happy, and now they are shutting dwon.

    I say good riddance. :)
