This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. “Everyone else does it” is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.
my opinion doesn’t count
It literally doesn’t count because it’s about what LW users see, not you. Your main account is on discuss.tchncs.de, you don’t see the pinned post and you just admitted that you haven’t used your LW alt at all for weeks, so please be honest and disclose that in your future comments.
I’m not even sure what you would prefer, to have me on my LW account everyday complaining about having that pinned thread? I thought the Fediverse was about freedom of choice, not forcing users to see things they don’t want.
Lemmy.world is still the most populated instance of the Fediverse. It is the default instance for a lot of users, including new joiners using Sync.
As such, you are going to have people with opinions on how the instance should handle such topics such as this one.
Anyway, let’s agree to disagree.
