Jesus fuck, what happened to them? :O It might be a crucial information for potential new moderators...

It looks like instance admins disliked his thoughts on Sync app business model so he was banned.

His post: https://lemmy.ml/post/5128305

Which is a sign of the communities ultimate motivations, how disappointing and a sign to avoid.

God, corporate monetization is like an infestation, ruining all it can until it’s no longer profitable and moves on.

Banned for critiquing a Lemmy mobile app. Sync. I would avoid doing anything here period after seeing that.

Hasn't lemmy.world also blocked the Piracy community earlier? What the fuck is wrong with them?

They want to keep it marketable for the future, it also helps that they can claim it’s to avoid legal backlash. World is a big basket of eggs right now, so the business buzzards are hovering and digging in to stake claim.

I would also like to know this.

Stating that Sync client has ads, on a post about Lemmy clients, is toxic.

Signed, lw admins

This is crazy that he got banned for the comment about Sync, he expressed his opinion is a totally respectful way. Unlike the Sync-users-mob. Maybe something happend on private-msg ?
