Sorry for being out of the loop, why might they be doing that? Biggest instance throwing its weight around a bit?

A long time ago, when Lemmy was new, a few people were somewhat worried the threadiverse would split due to differing leftist ideologies clashing over the matters of how far "too far" might be.

lol, look where we are.

Let them show how evil they are, I could use less Blue MAGA "but muh blue millionaire will fix everything, but also can't fix anything, but you're wrong for saying that"

Well, shit. Good thing I jumped ship early.

I originally tried to create an account on db0 when I first joined Lemmy, but I never got a response to my application. I had to settle for world. Guess I'll have to try again.

Good, nothing of value will be lost

Noted, I'll see how soon I can migrate.

dude the mods on programming.dev are just as bad....
