Firstly, I have more than one account for different purposes. These were created when performance problems were rampant, and my view was always to return, and then the Hexbear defederation happened before even federation occurred based on speculation. It was much quicker than Exploding Heads defederation was. Based on that decision and the way it was worded in the announcement, which failed to be impartial, detached, or hiding in personal intent, I was hesitant to return fully. See the lemm.ee announcement taken for contrast which was done by someone with more than enough reason to defederate, but they approached it in a balanced and mature manner. In line with that, this can become quite sinister:
"Always post compliant content that upholds the rules of the individual community and the website, and is of personal interest to you."
"uphold the rules of the website" and ensure posts are "compliant". It very much comes across as though world is a political site, and has taken a clear editorial line. Anyone from the left isn't welcome... and steps will be taken if it makes anyone feel any cognitive dissonance. lemmy.ml, lemm.ee and shit.just.works are far superior general purpose instances.
Interestingly enough, you have the following:
"Vote for the content, not for the person."
and yet you decided to search me, and go for the ad hominem. Playing the person and not the point. I'm getting the anyone that disagrees is a problem vibe here.
