You are setting up a booth in someone else's house and then complain that they have the right to kick you out?
There is always the option to do it in your own house via self-hosting your own Lemmy instance.
The same could be said about reddit. It is their house, do we not have any right to critisize they're actions here?
I disagree. An instance can have it's rules, regulations, etc. but if they step outside of that to ban someone and take over their community, this is a scummy thing to do.
Reddit should not have removed mods, nor should a lemmy instance admin, unless they've violated a reasonable rule-set
Define reasonable.
That's only part joke.
It was always a mistake to abandon self-hosted forums for the convenience of centralized Reddit.
There are plenty of those same forums still in active use today which you could go back to. The problem they have which reddit solved is fragmentation. Of course, they solved it through centralization, which brought it's own set of problems that Lemmy now aims to solve. It seems like an elegant solution to me which gives the best of both worlds, but I guess we'll all get to see together how well it truly works.
No I'm asking questions so I learn how it works.
