      I assume it’s in reference to this: https://lemmy.one/post/137234

      where lemmy.world is enforcing on-topic posts in their lemmy.world community, which was originally intended to be just about the instance itself rather than a catchall r/all style thing

      Yeah I don’t get it either, we’ve got an all option (at least in Jerboa, I haven’t used the web version much)

        The post about Spez’s internal memo to reddit employees was locked. WHY? Dear lemmy.world mods, this is the shit I wanted to get away from Reddit. Don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

          There are a couple Reddit centric communities out there, and since this community is supposed to be more about the lemmy.world instance in particular Reddit doesn’t really fit. I think that’s what they’re trying to do.

          There’s https://lemmy.ml/c/reddit and https://lemmy.ml/c/snoocalypse and https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and a good handful of others where those kinds of posts would probably be more appropriate.

            As I just replied to another comment, I saw the last message that it didn’t apply, but when it has 300+ replies already, locking it just seems a little heavy handed.

            I don’t know. I didn’t post it, I didn’t lock it, I was just looking through the mod logs and you have a large thread just locked, which is the topic of this thread. I see the mod left a message about it being in the wrong place, but as I said to someone else who replied to me, it just seems a little heavy handed, especially this early in the game to be locking posts with that many replies. That’s my opinion on this.

              I mean, they posted an announcement and stickied it to explain why. They also have rules posted in the sidebar. I guess they could also add a copy and pasted comment to each closed thread but is it really necessary?

          Not accusing you of this, but there might be confusion between the instance lemmy.world and the self-titled lemmy.world community. This is about moderation in the lemmy.world community, which is meant to discuss the instance; not moderation of the instance as a whole.

            Maybe they need to rethink some names. Here is the thread in the mod log I am seeing that was locked. Looks like a mod locked it and put in a last message in the thread about it being in the wrong place. But with 300+ replies, was it really necessary to lock it?
