So I mean, most of us knew this beforehand and being on the fediverse we probably do not really care, but what was always on the horizon has no happened, the owner of Squabblr finally had enough having to be a decent person and has decided that his site is now “free speech purism”, so he gets to continue to insult LGBTQ people like he always does.
Seems from the comments that some other admins disagreed with the decision (so there were some decent people on that site!) and either left or were removed.
Not entirely surprising the whole thing, granted.
(edit)
Also, apologies as this isn’t truly reddit news but Squabblr was one of the sites frequently brought up in /r/redditalternatives so I figured this might still be relevant?
The people who think making an account on Lemmy.world is “too confusing” but think making an account on Reddit or one of these other random sites is somehow simpler really surprise me.
I get that federation is a new weird concept but it’s not like anyone needs to know what it is to sign up somewhere and start posting.
I’m sure it doesn’t help that people are complaining that lemmy.world is a huge instance. That only adds to the confusion.
Proponents of Lemmy: “Just join the instance that has the content you like!”
Also proponents of Lemmy: “OMG WHY IS THERE ONE HUGE INSTANCE”
