I feel that the neverending discussions of what is going on with whatever Lemmy server or communities and what needs to be done about it become a self fulfilling prophecy. The more that people focus on it, the more they tend to disagree.
It doesn’t need to be linked all over Lemmy every time that happens.
It’s usually limited to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com. It wouldn’t have spread over all Lemmy hadn’t the mods decided to lock that community, basically forcing the Blahaj users to start a new community that would get visibility on /All.
Although some drama gets generated along with that, the alternative would be to leave the blatant lies and bad faith tactics unchecked, which would be a much bigger problem imo.
If the objective is to offer a better alternative than Reddit, we have to evidence that there are indeed countermeasures against power tripping mods and admins. !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is that countermeasure. And if people don’t like drama, they can just block that community. Same for !fedimemes@feddit.uk , one of the recurrent themes are going to be drama, as it’s the easiest context to create memes about.
I am the main poster on
And a few other communities. I even organize a weekly thread on !fedigrow@lemm.ee so that other “main posters” can discuss about their feeling of “shouting into the void” (https://sh.itjust.works/post/31030466)
!onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone shows the opposite. All interested users went to it, posted content, and reached 3k daily active users, which is more than !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone . They all agreed, and found at least one community that they can use from now on, whatever happens with !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Your conclusion is the same that makes people post to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
