Not to sound too tinfoil-hatty, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that was sock puppet accounts. When you don’t want people to unify and leave, just start a flame war!

How were redditors treating them? Just being obnoxious and refusing to change?
You had me go back and check and the .world admins did provide evidence of users planning to break .world rules in each defederation announcement post. You’re free to disagree with their conclusions but you’re wrong when you say they provided no evidence. Besides that, you sound like you’re sitting on the fence on whether or not they are hateful, I have receipts of the admins cheering on the Tiananmen Square massacre because it was a western plot or painting the CCP’s treatment of Uighur’s as a simple necessary anti-terrorism action rather than ethnic cleansing. Please don’t willfully look the other way because they don’t outright yell “gas the Jews”.
I also question why a “circlejerk” community pointing out the ridiculous shit said by leadership and regular posters on the instances isn’t valid. It’s a community dedicated to pointing out the glorification of authoritarianism found on these instances with direct screenshots and links to said bad behavior. The source should be irrelevant provided the information they’re sharing isn’t presented misleadingly. Some of the stuff on meanwhileongrad is definitely misleading or a screenshot of a post that ended up removed but there is a clear pattern from the top down.
You don’t have to look far on hexbear or lemmygrad to find people cheering on the murder of Israelis on October 7th or denying genocides like the Holodomor so I’m not sure what you’re talking about when you say neither instance is hateful. Meanwhileongrad is full of screenshots of ridiculous hateful bullshit.
Edit: I might add that they’re extremely ban happy and yet would cry when their rants were deleted or when they received bans for spamming on other instances. Blatant double standard. Shit, I’ve had comments deleted for “hate speech” from Lemmy.ml for saying that Hamas and Iran are a big part of the problem in the Middle East.
Wrong community, OP
We’re very pro beanie babies, at least.
I feel like the main missing detail is defederation but I also feel like that would confuse people not familiar with how federation works.
They don’t purport to be a free speech instance. Bans I’ve seen are for rule breaking, but I’ll admit I have found some of their interpretations of spamming or trolling to be heavy handed. I’ve said as much in meta threads and haven’t been banned so I’ve stuck around. There’s so many instances out there now I’m sure you can find something that aligns with your personal views.
Yeah I really don’t agree with that. I want to be on an instance that only defederates as a last resort. As stated in the defederation post, they only just now fully defederated as the volume of lemmygrad’s rule violating exceeded their ability to moderate.
Sounds like you want to either create an account on Lemmy.world where all the tankie and fash instances are already blocked or wait a few weeks/months for the user specific domain blocking update to go through.
deleted by creator
I’ve gotten the vibe they are quick to ban boat rockers rather than have to deal with the wake.
They removed the post for violating rules 1&2 which are be respectful and remain on topic. I didn’t find the post disrespectful or off topic so I would love to hear a mod explain their justification.
Lemmy world banned OP for “trolling and spam” which is bs imo.
All good, I’ve gone after people too hard too (got a mean comment deleted yesterday in fact, I was definitely wrong). It’s good to have scruples
You can look up my other comment for more examples, but this one is the most clear:
https://lemmygrad.ml/post/750810
They may not be the same person, although I suspect they are as the lemmy.ml account isn’t active, but either way 420 is at a minimum a contributor
Yeah they don’t use that account. It’s pretty clear to me they’re active on their lemmygrad account over the lemmy.ml one.
Here they are mentioning dev work:
https://lemmy.ml/comment/4413706
I understand that. @cannotsleep420 is still in that Lemmy update thread mentioning development to-dos.
You might want to reinvestigate. @cannotsleep420 is the one that made those comments and they are a dev.
I for one would prefer that the dev of the tools I use doesn’t celebrate the deaths of children just because of where they happened to be born. Calling that just a “spicy take” is ridiculous.
Is this mastodon specific or is it an activitypub flaw?
