I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn't look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I'm drawing is that for my purposes it doesn't really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

They have really heavy handed moderation

Yeah they're way too extreme up to the point of walking on eggshells around them. Personally I never participated there but from what I've seen they go way too harsh. I think their intentions are good but they still need to loosen up a bit, okay a lot.

Though in a way it's good because it means they broke the early network effect they had in their communities by cutting off lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
