  • Which I think is a problem in the structure of lemmy. I can understand them banning c/piracy from being hosted on lemmy.world, but blocking access to other communities on other instances from all of their users is really an issue. As a user I shouldn’t have to create a new account to be able to see something hosted on lemmy.ml, no matter what the admins of my home instance think about it.

    I think it should be up to the community admin to find an instance that supports them, not both the community creator and every user that wants to see that content.



  • I can’t speak for OP, but mine wasn’t a tantrum of leaving. It was simply a frustration in having to find another instance that is accepting users and generally matches up with my views, and then rebuilding a new account with new subscriptions and new blocks etc. Maybe I’m missing something? It’s really frustrating to have to rebuild your entire account because an instance admin blocked a community you were active in for semi-arbitrary reasons. If we could easily migrate accounts between instances, it would be very different.










  • Correct, until unregulated capitalism stopped acknowledging the human and saw people only as assets to be squeezed for profit, like cows to be milked until they run dry then slaughtered. Wages have largely not kept up with inflation while at the same time corporations turned necessities, like housing and healthcare, into profit centers. They observed the inelastic demand and lack of government oversight and are continuously raising prices on those necessities to maximize profits, knowing that people have no choice but to pay it or die. Capitalism without regulation just results in exploitation of the working class by the rich and greedy.
