    If your email service started doing shit you didn’t like, such as forcing you to deal with spam email instead of blocking it, then you’d move to a different service.

      But what if your email did shit like that every year? Or now you have to switch messaging with a group of friends and some don’t want to jump to a certain new app?

        Find an email service that doesn’t do shit like that every year.

        .world has always been bad, this isn’t an example of “every single server is bad and they’ll all do bad things every year and so you should just accept that the service will always be bad and always get worse.” There are actually good servers. They exist.

          The mod in question is a major Star Trek nerd and there was a massive falling out recently with the user base of startrek.website and the mods/admins, which is why a lot of them moved to .world in the first place.

            This is why it’s important to actually know who the admins are and what their goals are, rather than just picking instances based on vibes. Being a Star Trek nerd isn’t actually a good reason to pick a Star Trek instance.

              Outside of .ml and beehaw, what admins are that active and communicative with users in general? Who is publishing policy on how they are running their instance and showing how they are following through on it?

              Most Lemmy instances are small hobbies run by vibes dictoral control of a single person and people change over time. Unless you build your own instance, admin relations will always be something that you have to deal with.

                Maybe that’s a problem?

                  But you’ve consistently stated that the first step if an admin tries to build that sort of thing and does something that you disagree with is to leave. Don’t try to talk with the admins to help build a stable place, just leave.

                  I don’t see that as a good first step.

                    If the admins first step isn’t to talk to the community, then yeah, it’s time to leave. They unilaterally made this decision and then forced it on to everyone. That’s a bad sign!
