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.
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.
