    Curious that this exact comment thread looks so different on Lemmy.ca (original instance) versus how it appears on Lemmy World.

    At the time of posting this, the original thread has 13 comments as opposed to the sanitized version on Lemmy World, which has 6 comments. Naturally, all of the comments critical of LW do not appear on their version.

      You sure it’s not just because those comments were submitted by ani.social users during the period which the instances were defederated from each other?

        It’s from manual bans, not defederation. Both Butts@ani.social (the parent comment in this chain) and CJOtheReal@lemmy.sdf.org (commenter providing a critical summary of why people are upset) are banned at LW.

        At the time of writing this comment, by looking at the LW modlog you can see Butts was banned 3 hours ago because “fuck those guys” and 17 hours ago CJOTheReal was banned because “LW admins are assholes.”

        I am guessing those ban reasons are quotes from the banned users themselves, not the actual reason why an admin personally banned them, though that hardly makes it justifiable - in fact it does the opposite by proving that LW admins actually are power tripping and banning for petty reasons.

          I nither of us gives a shit tbh, we just think they are power tripping like reddit mods. And Don’t engage in their instance shithole. Btw at least one of the admins keeps following several users around like a creep constantly attacking the users and saying “look what they say” like anyone gives a shit…

          Let’s call them spezes from now on…

      Because people that are banned on LW love to chime in on threads about LW with their totally sane and objective takes.

      But that’s why there are more comments on this thread than if you would look at this thread from LW.

        I think you guys are just banning everyone disagreeing with you personally and that’s why people call you out for being a clownshow…

        But who knows…
