I only found this after going down a rabbit hole of looking into one of their admins after seeing one of their admins unjustly label us as a “pedo instance.” I’m not going to append a screenshot of that because he talks shit about one of our users who go here in that same assburgers fueled diatribe.
Call this drama seeking, but I honestly don’t care. The level of disrespect I’ve had leveled at me and our instance by the wider Lemmy community has my patience wearing thin.
Lemmy was a fun experiment, but window lickers who have narcissistic complexities have got to ruin it, unfortunately. I really should’ve backed kbin since it seems like the wider fediverse (AKA the fun side) is more accessible compared to, “We’ve got to act like super serious corporations, but without any professionalism” Lemmyverse.
Most instances on Lemmy are much, much worse than Reddit. The few ones like this one that have some free speech going on just get blocked and ridiculed. At least from reddit I can understand from a business pov that they removed a lot of subreddits. For a lot of Lemmy instances money isnt even the driving factor but just closed minded individuals and censorship.
It makes me sad since i loved to think that lemmy could be a smaller more compact community alternative to reddit but honestly its really not.
The admins should be above acting like snarky 12 year olds leveling serious insults at others which could risk landing someone in legal hot water/fuck over one’s reputation, as well as banning people for saying that their instance sucks, and is full of power tripping admins. I’d expect a little bit more professionalism from an instance that has a budget in the thousands. With their projected annual budget at an eye popping 5 figures range.
If someone here said Burggit sucks I definitely wouldn’t ban them and would like to know why and if there’s any changes that can be made to make the site more appealing to them, assuming they aren’t a troll. If they are a troll, and not breaking any rules, I’ll just disengage and have a good laugh.
Anytime I ban someone, providing they aren’t aiming to harm the site in any way, I always go for temp bans. I hate giving out permabans because I feel people should always have a second and third chance to correct their behavior.
Later on, I’m going to trial run a kbin instance and run it as a sorta sister site to Burggit. Maybe the feed will be less dull then because the wider fediverse doesn’t really appear to have such a huge hypocritical stick up their collective asses compared to the Lemmyverse.
burggit is a fine instance, and you don’t really wanna talk to anyone who would defed with you anyways. don’t sweat it and let .world be a shithole in peace. their antics will catch up to them in the long term
