At times I’ve wondered if Madhouse got Quentin Tarantino to direct some of the episodes…

No, I’d pretty much rather not see it, but it is what it is.

Tell me, what instances do you find amenable?

Any that aren’t focused on spreading disinformation or trolling, i.e. practically all of them, except the three or four usual suspects.

(Well, there are also some that are focused on becoming echo chambers, which I don’t find amenable either, but these ones tend to defederate themselves, so they’re harmless.)

The purpose is, as .world’s has always been (we all remember the infamous bot), to spread disinformation, though this policy is clearly an escalation in that regard, forcing mods to actively promote it even if they don’t want to.

At this point no amount of vacuous sophisms can hide that.

Vegan fundamentalists.

Veganism is a perfectly cromulent diet choice as long as you take care to supplement any vitamins and aminoacids your diet may lack and you don’t force it on growing children or obligate carnivore pets.

The problem with the mods in .world’s vegan community, is that they don’t treat it as a personal diet choice, but as a cult. And their view of “heretics” seems directly inspired by Warhammer 40,000.

People are free to make an account on .world of they want to.

But that doesn’t mean that cancers like .world or .ml shouldn’t be excised before they kill the rest of the fediverse. Disinformation should never be tolerated.

Blocking would only help me. Defederation helps everyone.

I don’t have a .world account. I’m commenting on lemmynsfw, which hasn’t defederated .world yet, so I got this question on my feed and my replies are getting sent back to .world through federation.

They locked the community in protest of . world’s new pro-disinformation and pro-hate speech policies.

Not when it’s from a toxic instance like .world.

Mostly the cons.

Not that it matters, the whole .world instance is a toxic disinformation hub that should have been defederated long ago by every sane instance, but from what I’ve read it wasn’t tankies, in this case, it was vegan fundamentalists going on a ban spree (it’s far from the first time their .world community causes drama).

Their own example of a “differing opinion” to be discussed (i.e., promoted) instead of banned is flat earth lunacy.

The policy is intended to promote disinformation and hate speech, as was that bot they shoved on all their communities a while ago.

.world is and has always been a disinformation hub that should have been defederated by every sane instance from the get go.

So they’re trying cut back on echo chambers and power tripping mods.

No they’re not. They’re trying to promote disinformation and hate speech, because they’re trying to emulate Musk, Zuckerberg, and spez, as they’ve always done.

Hopefully this’ll be the drop that makes the glass overflow and will get .world finally defederated by saner instances.
