You misunderstood completely, or more likely, twisting words to suit your narrative. It's not worse, because there is no systemic pattern of abuse by the admins to push an agenda. As has been demonstrated with the .ml admins
LW admins don't have the credentials that .ml admins do of being the devs. LW is the largest and should be held to a certain standard. Being the admins of .ml and main Lemmy devs holds them to an even higher standard. Average people will go "Lemmy.ml? Oh it's an instance run by the developers themselves?" and forever have the association that lemmy.ml IS Lemmy therefore their harmful authoritarianism gets associated with all of Lemmy.
Even more insidious, quite a few instances that defederate from 2/3rds of the Triad don't hold the same to .ml for many reason among them fear of retaliation.
I already admitted it to being a throwaway joke, if you can't get over that oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They're a Tankie instance instance through and through as per the wikipedia entry posted above.
Wherever you stand on FS, he hasn't been a factor for Months now. As for these other "Zionist mods" where's the receipts?
Again. LW, like nearly every other instance, is run by volunteers and donations. 5-10 business days for any business/paid service to make a major decision is what most people come to expect. And you want to hold people running a non-profit volunteer driven instance run in spare time to an even faster timeline than businesses are? That's asinine.
Twisitng words again, you said "There's a transphobia problem eith LW" I said "Not really because of my observations, but .ml does having an actual transphobe on the admin team here's the receipts" then you went "I thought code was code!" At which point I clarified, "he's on the admin team and that is what I was referring to and nothing about his code contributions"
And then here we are with you attempting to twist words to suit your narrative
Oh cool, it's just a joke saying it's the NK instance. Which no you didn't you still tried to play off wasn't said. But also on a crusade to crush it? Weird coincidence there.
I brought up flying squid as like all the troublesome mods left on their own not removed after numerous issues.
Right it's only been years jl has been like this, totally fair to let the admins continue to leave them there even though are more authoritarian than ml.
No this is me pointing out the same similarities others have while also using your own words for why it's okay for you to use it to siphon content, even though it's from that dirty tankie place.
It's just fun watching the logic here trying to go all in on both hating lemmy devs but using lemmy. Massive conundrum
