Am I being deprived of Stamets’ memes because of some thin-skinned power-tripping douche mod?
Time for a new instance. Any recommendations for a stable instance that federates with everyone (except for the worst, of course)?
Edit: If anyone is confused, I meant to reply to this comment that links to Stamets’ recent rundown on the whole kerfuffle.
Edit 2: I just learned something I’d like to share with anyone else that needs to know. If a user (Stamets, for example) is banned on your instance (startrek.website, for example) even here, a community on lemmy.world, you can’t see his posts. Not only that, but if he comments you can’t see any replies to his comment. There are a lot of comments in this thread startrek.website users can’t see.
If you don’t want overzealous admins curating your experience on other instances, you might want to find a new instance.
Well, you can’t see me at all but I’d obviously recommend lemmy.world personally although lemmy.dbzer0.com is a close second. I’ve heard mixed things about lemm.ee’s administration. sh.itjust.works is pretty good for the most part. I’ve got some personal experience with a couple of admins who are really kind people who work way too hard.
I just jumped over to world because of all this. That makes my third instance in less than a year after leaving kbin.social for startrek land a few months ago. Lemmy is a little exhausting.
If he wanted to just privately throw a fit about me, fine. He reports me to unrelated admins and complains about perfectly fine toots? Whatever. I can eat that. What infuriated me was him going “I don’t like you so I am going to deny everyone on my platform seeing you.”
Frankly it’s just pathetic piss baby behavior. I’m sorry that his shittiness is having to contribute to you jumping around instances. Genuinely.
Hopefully other users on startrek.website figure it out. I assumed I would see every post and comment posted on tenforward unless it was removed by lemmy.world admins or tenforward mods.
It’s a bit annoying that an admin can curate my experience on other instances. But now I know to be on the lookout for it.
If the admins ever made a move over there to restrict more mods/posters of this community then honestly we would probably just alter the name of the community or sidebar or something so that the community itself would also be informing on what happened. I’m just not about to do it for my ass alone. Not nearly that egotistical lol
Yeah instance bans are heavy and you need to be able to back it up with something. Not just “He was mean to me! Wahhh!”
Honestly I still kinda feel like a dick even making comments like that about the admins over there. I really don’t want to cause shit and have all this happen. I just wanted to post memes to Risa and have everyone be chill and happy. Would have been more than fine to continue with that blissful existence. Do I mind modding? No. Do I want to? No. But now I’ve seen what it’s like when people don’t care and I don’t want to leave communities I care about to that kind of mindset. So I’ll stay around for now. Although the mods we have here are all top tier and great people.

Sh.itjust.works has been excellent for me since joining. Any outages we have had have been resolved quickly and I have yet to see any spam.

I can now.
Eyyyyyyyyy! Nice to see you again buddy <3

But at least that’s an option. There is no non-spez instance of reddit, non-musk instance of twitter, or non-zuck instance of meta-stuff to jump to.
I took both of the other respondents suggestions. It only took a few minutes to get approved at both and now I can see Car Talk With Martok again.
I didn’t even know that the admin of my instance banning someone would prevent me from seeing posts made in another instance.
Same, I didn’t know until I saw this comment
And that is why I made that enormous post.
