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.
