Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home.

So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.

Where are you going?

Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to “stay legal”, they can start with those items.

    Interesting point to say they are spez-like while they just want to comply with local regulations

      They can do that! As a matter of fact, I support compliance with local regulations.

      The problem is, they aren’t. They are picking and choosing laws to follow. Their instance is located in Germany, but yet, their marijuana legalization laws are only in draft: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2023/07/10/germany-unveils-draft-bill-to-legalize-cannabis/?sh=5ed53b322726

      They are using the justification that “some things are illegal in some countries” as grounds for community suspension, yet, they are picking and choosing.

          The instance is in Germany from what I understand. Regardless, their justification was that shrooms are illegal in most places. That being their main point sets up the contradiction that I am referring to. It casts a bit of doubt on the intent and how to interpret rule 1.

          The admins don’t have to abide by their rules, but we do.
