Leaving Lemmy World
Leaving Lemmy World
I enjoyed my time being here and helping to grow this community. My plan was to keep things such as book of the month and show discussions going indefinitely. It's sad to say goodbye as I would love to continue to try my best at facilitating discussion and help this community become a great resource for science fiction fans everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice as lemmy.world admins have made the rather baffling decision to ban my account despite no rules being broken. Unless I hear back from Ruud on the matter and the situation is rectified there is no way for me to continue to enjoy discussing science fiction with all of you here. I'm unsure if I will attempt to restart this community on another instance.
Keep on loving science fiction. You guys are great. 🚀

42Specifically they are upset that I've mentioned that Sync has ads in it. Which is both curious and suspicious. I'd rather not think up conspiracy theories, but it doesn't make any reasonable kind of sense. If you can decipher this strange behavior then I'd be curious to know. Whatever makes this "toxic" is beyond my current understanding of the situation.
50Very odd behavior. I’ve never used sync as I’m on iPhone but it’s been wild to me seeing the drove of users it has and the defense they have for any type of critique towards it. This takes that to an entirely new level. Speak about it and be banned.
10Do apps like Sync require hosting of some kind? Almost any free app should have ads in it unless you want a paid version which doesn't. People should be paid for their work.

I put my money on the ads comment and someone concerned had a few words with admins.

If you're going to give it a go, look at my instance (science Fiction and Fantasy Alliance) or the literature cafe one. Hopefully you can get unbanned though.
36Ah, beat me to it! https://sffa.community
7@Izzy@lemmy.ml, if you or others move the community somewhere else, make sure to post to new communities or here so we can move with you.

@izzydata Odd behavior on the part of the admin there, especially as they were adding you as a mod to communities less than two months ago. Feels like they have a stake in Synch bringing in some revenue, and aren't happy about your criticism.
You ran a great community over there, and it's clear you're getting the shaft. If you ever are looking for a home for your content, you've got an open invitation to the @13thFloor - always looking for great scifi across all media.
22I'm so sorry to hear that.
I've too been banned from 2 communities without any justification. (I even made a post about it.)
We need to speak up as members of this wonderful community, we need to build a network that works on trust and reason.
Otherwise, Lemmy (and the Fediverse at large) will be no better than the big tech platforms we fight so hard to get away from.
22I mean users are the ones that are flocking to lemmy.world to start new communities instead doing that on other instances.
11I was instanced banned as well
This is just like reddit, curating content they approve vs what they disapprove
Who knows what this is, was or soon will be

I don't understand why this would happen. Seems silly to ban someone over expressing their opinion when they're doing it in a perfectly sensible way. This stuff makes people worried that they'll get banned for innocent posts. Will we get banned for this?
16lemmy.world is dying a slow and painful death, just hop on a more suitable instance.

It takes a weak person to ban someone without actually having a reason.
13That's the Lemmy world admins in a nut shell.
Similar thing happened to me due to a one off comment criticizing their use of discord.

Will you move the community to another server?
11This has kind of soured my enthusiasm for it, but I'll think about it. It is a passion of mine and I love being here, but I'm unsure if it can be the same.
19Please do, lemm.ee has been great for me, much faster too, and this is one of my favorite communities.
6I feel you. After the Reddit events, I just don't have the enthusiasm to help maintain many communities anymore. It's hard when you put a lot of work into it and then get treated like shit in response.

You didn't say anything toxic there, I left reddit coz i grew tired of the too many power mad mods it had if lemmy is gonna end up the same then adios.
7Move over to startrek.website maybe. Is it possible that your username is similar to someone who was spamming or trolling?
1Come over to Kbin. Honestly I hear some much weird crap going on with Lemmy instances. You can still federate with Lemmy.world unless they block the community. You also seem to be a user on lemmy.ml which isnt .world and could be the reason in itself you're being banned as lemmy.ml has got some weird polices and admin stuff going on.
-4I only created this account after I couldn't log onto my other one. They are still federated with lemmy.ml so I suspect that is not a point of contention.
5Tankies gonna tank, what can you do?

I'm pretty sure Lemmy is a failed experiment. It's been one blow after another. It's like a wasteland here and lemmy.world is just making it worse. The lack of actual functioning mod tools is also a weak point. Should we even take Lemmy seriously anymore?
