  • So-called open platforms like this have no credibility though if anyone can (anonymously)

    You miss the point of the fediverse so much so that I almost feel it's deliberate.

    You can make your own community and post there as much as you like (you're the moderator). If your instance admins don't like it sign up somewhere else and continue!

    If you don't see the value in this over reddit/other corporate social media then I don't know what to tell you.

    A lot of people may still disagree with your views/content but that doesn't deplatform you! You can always have a space here. This should excite you.

  • Going to recommend my edit to make sure you see it. I like this place and I think you will too.

    point is communities still have mods (and admins of the host instance) but if you're not happy with how they run things you can make your own community (or even instance) and we'll still be able to see it and interact.

  • I believe that's correct. And as others have pointed out this is likely an anti-scalping measure which changes my view on it.

    I do however hope they will keep a good stock of them. Having to be a subscriber is annoying enough but even when I was one I was never able to be quick enough when N64 ones went back in stock.

  • The moderator of that community came to that conclusion. You could try messaging them.

    1. Lemmy.world isn't really, but notice how I'm not signed up there?

    Edit:I guess you aren't either. But the point is communities still have mods (and admins of the host instance) but if you're not happy with how they run things you can make your own community (or even instance) and we'll still be able to see it and interact.

  • Yeah, this was a graphic I saw early on when I joined, and while useful at the time, it's very outdated now and a bit too information dense to be effective for onboarding

    For those not aware, Beehaw already had a community going before the API disaster brought a large amount of users to Lemmy. Once new instances popped up, and the overall userbase increased by something like 700%, they decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Citing issues with scaling moderation efforts.
