Its a very interesting feeling. On one hand Im proud because Lemmy has come so far. Two years ago there was only one instance dev.lemmy.ml and no federation. On the other hand disappointed, because some people are unable to appreciate how much time and work I put into this project. Its especially ironic that these attacks are coming from people who pretend to represent the working class.

Basically these people think they have some kind of god-given right to make demands about how lemmy.ml should be moderated. Which is ridiculous on its own, plus most of them arent even registered on this instance.

Moderation has always been a power struggle on Reddit. Just as the Lemmyverse has tended to be less aggressive in terms of content and conversation, I’m hoping the moderator politics here don’t devolve into the social pseudo-warfare that Reddit is infamous for (moderator coups, mod team splits, megamod cliques, etc). I think that’s going to involve some sort of informal governance policies that will standardize over time, but I’m not sure.

Admin-to-admin mail (similar to mod mail, but visible by all admins on both instances), blocklist compliance, and mutual federation come to mind.

Lemmy in general is fine, its just a single instance which cant behave.

It is up to you to federate with this instance, or not...
