Instance admins are already compromised sometimes. They can be bribed or get greedy.

Then why aren't you setting up your own instance? You do have the option.

Because I don't have to for them to be terrible or to prove what I said is right.

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What you said is right, so what? Is your only course of action going to be to loudly moan about it, on an instance whose admins can also be bribed or get greedy as you say?

I don't have to take action on a fact to have the right to state it.

You might not like the fact that Lemmy admins are just as susceptible to corruption as everyone else, but no one is going to stop saying it simply because you don't want to hear it. And you can't bully us into being quiet about it, either.

Nobody's bullying you. We're just surprised you aren't doing anything about the thing that's clearly bothering you.

What you're actually doing is forum sliding to protect corrupt Lemmy admins as if it'll get you someplace, and it won't.

I won't play your stupid little game anymore. Bye

Despite you complaining about the prospect of corrupt Lemmy admins, I'll bet money that you didn't vet the admins of any instance before signing up. Slacktivism at its finest.
