This suddenly does not work
edit:
It looks like the problem is on lemmy.ml, not lemmy.world
Does not work either.

The community was removed from lemmy.ml by their admins. Here’s the reason in the modlog:
Unmoderated duplicate of /c/usa . Any world-related can use /c/worldnews
Lemmy & the fediverse needs to be more modular.
We need… something like a “transfer, merge, fork, split” for communities.
For example, if these guys are just going to nuke that content, another instance should have the opportunity to either fork it, or merge it with another community. Its mostly the same stuff as would have been in c/Politics here.
And what it does now, is it puts even more editorial power in the hands of fewer people (ones that ml probably) don’t vibe with.
Classic boneheaded decision.
Geez I can’t believe a major group was nuked just like that. I never noticed anything about it being unmoderated but thank you for providing the explanation.
Lemmy.ml admins making rash, sweeping decisions that are conveniently harmful to any open public discourse? I never would have guessed.
Central planning committee knows what’s best now eat your slop or it’s the gulag for you /s
Geez even with decentralization we still have people making bone headed decisions. What is the best/strongest politics group that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world?
There are so many politics communities, but before you mentioned this I didn’t realize how concentrated they are on .ml and .world. These look like the most-subscribed USA and World politics communities that aren’t on .ml or .world:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected][Edit: Though I listed them here, the hexbear and beehaw communities are not accessible to large swaths of the Lemmy user base due to instance defederations.]
Don’t link the Hexbear community. If you think .ml is bad, they’re 100x worse.
Thanks for the list!
I’ve heard bad things about hexbear and beehaw. But I looked at these other two.
[email protected] – unfortunately too many dumb restrictions.
Rule: Title must match the article headline <-- definitely a deal killer because often journalists use dumb headlines or leave the most important things out of the headline.
Rule Recent (Past 30 Days) <-- also a deal killer. Relevant is more important the recent. They are not the same things. “Recent” is only an imperfect proxy for “relevant”.
[email protected] – We have a winner!
Rule: Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech. <-- perfect
I would also welcome suggestions for “news” groups outside of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. [email protected] is okay so far but I’m always looking for possible alternatives.
Beehaw has a fairly active politics comm, their moderation is more on the strict side but it’s “hey be nice and dont use slurs” kind of strict and not “how dare you say Russia is bad, banned” kind of strict. Id recommend them. Otherwise it’s .world.
Hasnt Beehaw defeded from quite a few of the larger instances, including .world who the op is on?
hm, they actually have blocked lemmy.world. didn’t know that.
welp, walled gardens gonna walled garden. I don’t have these problems from my instance
I get not wanting to interact with lemmy.ml
Whats wrong with Lemmy.World? Or are you just saying its too big?
Or are you just saying its too big?
It’s too big. And it has dumb restrictions like no video content. But also, I had a very popular posting just completely nuked by the mod of [email protected] and the entire advanced discussion was suddenly lost, forcing me to recreate the discussion on [email protected]. Ever since I’ve been posting content to lemmy.ml instead of lemmy.world. Mainly important things missing from [email protected] or that they took down.
But aside from all that, we absolutely need redundancy on lemmy for major stuff like news and politics. Mods will abuse their power because they all want to “control the experience” instead of just do the basics. I’ve also had content nuked for no reason on [email protected] also and as a result I mostly use [email protected] instead although I’m open for alternate news site suggestions too.
It’s ran by tankies, for one. Also just had a huge tankie issue in general.
Lemmy.world?
from modlog :
Time mod Action 6 hours ago mod Removed Community Politics reason: Unmoderated duplicate of /c/usa . Any world-related can use /c/worldnews https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveCommunity

See better comment from kersploosh (administrator of …@ sh.itjust.works ) inside this post’s main commentsSeems like lemmy.ml is really collapsing in on itself. Overall not good for the general health of the fediverse. We need large “sibling” instances rather than monoliths like .world, which is to say nothing of the politics of the instance. The fewer “medium” to "large’ instances are, the more reliant the whole system becomes on “very large” monoliths like .world, which overall weakens the integrity of the network.
This also highlights the destructiveness of toxic moderation. There is plenty of it here too, but there needs to be some kind of accountability/ redress if open & free communities are going to be a long term project. Not really a big deal in the long run and something we’ll just have to keep working on.

Absolutely 1000%

I can’t believe that lemmy mods/admins still think they have the luxury of making bone headed moves in a decentralized network. I am determined to get around this and it is the entire reason I am on a decentralized system. We vote with our feet and in the long term it will all work out. I am looking for suggestions for a politics group that is not lemmy.world and not lemmy.ml.
I slightly disagree. I think what needs to happen is there needs to be general instances, and specialized instances. By the nature of how they work, specialized instances would have more content, but less hosted users.
So Lemmy.World would be a general instance. You can host any community on a general instance, but it will do better if it can be hosted on a specialized instance (which most topics can be).
There may be niche topics that will do better on general instances, mostly if it doesn’t fit into any other catagory.
But lets say you want to follow your favorite baseball team. Well, you know Sports.InstanceName has all the sports. So you go there, search for your team and find [email protected]
And if everybody did this, the fediverse would at least make sense.
But lets say you want a community based on collecting toe nail clippings from the right foots pinky. Well, I can’t imagine a specialized instance would ever be made that you’d include THAT community. So you go to [email protected] and it will have like 3 subscribers.
Now, back to the baseball team for a second. IF you only come to the fediverse to talk baseball, maybe you’re fine being hosted on Sports.Instance. However most people would want their home instant to be a general instance. So that when they click “local” they get a bit of everything, whereas you hosted on the sports instance would only get sports.
The problem I see with the fediverse is there is a HUUUUUUUUGE learning curve. When you first get here, with zero introduction to the concepts of the platform, you’re just thrown in. I’ve even been insulted by people who assumed I didn’t know how the platform worked. Saying “You’re supposed to sort by subscribed, dumbass!”. The thing is, the problem I was describing WAS sorted by subscribed.
The way I’m describing, a new user can know "oh, this is where I find the sports, this is where I find the music, this is where I find the TV, ect ect ect.
You can still make [email protected], but without people looking for it there, you won’t get many people subscribing unless there’s some MAJOR issue with Sports.Instance.
You could also make Baseball.Instance. whereas Sports.Instance would be more of an all inclusive to all sports instance, which would help smaller sports communities grow, Baseball.Instance would be all about baseball communities.
And if I seem like I’m explaining the obvious, thats good. Thats the point. I want it to be obvious what every instance/community is, where it is, before you even seek it out or click it.
[email protected]. That doesn’t exist, but even as a hypothetical example, you already know what that community is going to be, and what that entire instance is catered to. You CAN’T click it, because it’s hypothetical, but you already know what it is.
That + a guide to the fediverse would go a LOOOOOONG way for newbies. I still don’t know how to visit Lemm.ee main page for example, without going there directly so I can stay logged in. I can figure out how to go to individual communities while logged in (and that whole process needs a simplification while we’re on the topic), but I can’t go to the main page, so I can click local, and see whats actively being posted to the whole instance like I can on my own instance. Theres probably a way…and it’s probably a bunch of overly complicated series of steps that isn’t naturally intuitive. Which is the biggest hurdle for this platform.
Nah .ml dying is great for the fediverse. Actually the denizens of .ml dying irl would be great for the world too
Wow, that’s a pretty discussing comment. You do not agree with a few peoples views, do generalise and want them to die. You’re worse than tankies.
Tbf, if he said that about nazis, who want to kill a bunch of people, he’d be applauded. He instead said it about tankies, who want to kill a bunch of people, but they like to wear red. That was his real mistake lol.
I’m on that instance and not a tankie. I’m politically left, but object completely to authoritarianism and justification of atrocities.
So yeah, I get annoyed when pricks generalise and wish my death upon me for thinking maybe we should help the poorest in society and don’t think the super rich deserve every penny they get.
I find it ironic when people are hating on one political grouping and their conduct is no better than the ones they despise.
Well get used to it, generalization is what people do, they love it, I’m doing it right now, it’s a function of the human brain seeking patterns. They’ll decry it against their group and use it on another group in damn near the same breath, welcome to the world. We even have phrases for it, “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch” and all. I bet if I scrolled through your comment history (I’m not gonna, but if I did) I wouldn’t have to go too far to see you generalize about a group commonly perceived as “all bad,” I’d guess it’s republicans, probably say they’re all racists or all nazis or all X, it doesn’t really matter, point is the odds that you do are higher than the odds that you don’t.
What you are referring to is heuristics. It’s simplistic. Effective for wild animals that require processing of complex information quickly to escape predators for example, but not so much for civilised humans that require a greater deal of accuracy.
You demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the approach by assuming I’m a Democrat or even American.
The skill is in understanding the process, the flaw and developing a capability for critical thought. You’ll get there eventually, hopefully.

Actually I assumed you’re a lemmy user, of which I’ve yet to meet one who doesn’t generalize republicans whether the poster is american or not. Not without reason, mind you, many republicans are say, racist, though many are not. It serves as a damn fine example of exactly what I’m referring to and is also a generalization in and of itself, which doubles back to make my point again. I understand the process, and in fact at times see value in it rather than simply nature at work, the trick is knowing what to do with the generalization. Should you hate X because X usually Ys? No, but if Y is an undesirable behavior trait in X you should at least find out if they Y before becoming entwined with them somehow.
The .ml admins probably just adding more malicious tracking tools to the communities they don’t like so they can more easily dox Lemmy users for their state espionage sponsors. Probably just broke something by accident this time
I’m guessing there were too many people supporting for Harris for their liking. They lost control and it was harming their preferred candidate so they killed it.
You are probably correct, Dessalines himself forgot to switch to one of his alts and is literally posting the “1 Harris = 1 genocide” meme on a .world thread as we speak. Absolutely glorious.
Edit - actually it was a .ml thread my mistake.
Is your name Harris?
