I wish we could tell whether it was the admins or subreddit moderators using these silencing tactics.
I suppose Discord, GitHub, Steam Forums and YouTube would be better places to bring up the topic.
Lemmy has 462k users and 45k MAU, we could use a bit more content and support for our developers and instance maintainers.
I’m finding it’s much smaller volume but the conversations are more genuine with less low effort filler and puns in between. But YMMV…
