Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously 😛.

What's the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that's the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.

Edit: I'm not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.

It can happen in any lemmy.world community, even if you did absolutely nothing wrong and you wont be told anything, not even that you have been banned or why. You just suddenly can not log in any more and when the ban is over you might even find that all content you ever posted has been deleted and can not be brought back. Lemmy.world admin team urgently needs to improve their banning practice and they should really consider to start answering emails. On the other hand, did I already tell you what a great instance lemm.ee is? They also have a very nice admin team over there ...

Simply stop using lemmy.world. Their practices have always been shit.

Well, good to see they’re not hypocritical then? I’m confused how that’s an argument…

Because lemmygrad's practices have always been shit, you know - being a tankie instance. But ofcourse you would be confused, it's a requirement to sign up there.

Bans not notifying the user is a Lemmy-wide problem.

Lemmygrad is pretty explicit in its instance rules IMHO about what it doesn’t allow. I don’t think it’s exactly a secret.
