What do you think about the recent LW controversy? (reddthat.com)

Recent events over at lemmy.world have got me thinking, and I wanted to see what the community here are reddthat.com thinks.

Most details are available at the lw admin team's latest post. TLDR A discussion about whether a vegan cat diet was viable started at c/vegan. An admin banned some comments and removed a moderator of the community. LW updated their TOS with a section about misinformation. The admin actions were reversed.

(Probably, I am misrepresenting the situation, read the link before taking up arms)

While, I prefer to enter my own opinions in a comment, I would like to add some questions to frame the discussion:

  1. What do you the new section about misinformatiom? Do you think reddthat needs one?
  2. What do you think about how the situation was handled by the LW admin team?
  3. Given that LW is the biggest lemmy instance, how do you think these changes will influence smaller instances like reddthat?
  4. Do you have any other take aways from this? Or any other questions?
  5. (bonus) Isn't it hilarious that lemmy has its own tea (=gen z for drama)?

Unnecessary drama. Look, just let ppl talk, I don't understand why lemmy has to be so dramatic. I'm against the vegan cat food thing, but I just don't get why ppl who admin remove shit and get emotional about it.

Don't run a forum then if you can't be chill. Argue your point and roll your eyes and move on.

Lemmy is so fucking toxic man, I have to take breaks from here because of the constant drama like dam
