After being harassed in multiple discord channels by powermod FlyingSquid the news mod blackbeard has shuttered his account and moved to bluesky.

"The recklessness with which people downvote polite disagreements reminds me of all the worst parts of Reddit, and it proves to me that this isn’t the social media savior I’d hoped it would be, and is instead just another echo chamber. I hope eventually lemmy.world (and the fediverse more broadly) can grow out of that, but some of the behavior I’ve seen on the inside from both mods and admins doesn’t really inspire much confidence for that kind of evolution in the short term. "
FlyingSquid is the same mod who has the power to siteban people from lemmy.world
Why does lemmy.world keep having issues with their powermods and admins? Why do powermods get the ability to siteban their enemies from the largest instance?
Nah they just employ industrial use of alt accounts and automated voting. They never deploy it to the same degree on other instances because admins could check who is voting. They are only able to brigade here.
If this wasn’t the case you would see positive interactions from these instances elsewhere from people browsing All. You know, World accounts doing something other than reposting memes about Star Trek and freaking out because someone criticized the democratic party and brigading. It won’t happen because they are a bunch of fakers who correctly identified this software lets them be just as abusive as the reddit admins.
