Coming from a different instance, I genuinely did not notice the events, it was an interesting summary to watch.
You know someone is going to start a weekly Lemmy drama Peertube channel!
... but no one will be able to find it. /s
So your options as a mod are to endlessly debate with people arguing in bad faith, or just ignore them and let the community block them.
The policy was reverted. You actually see a comment from LW top admin on Peertube. He wasn't aware.
At the top of the announcement post:
There will be a new announcement soon to clarify.
29 days later...
Also, who calls LW "dot World"? He said that in the video, but I've literally never heard it called that, ever?
Also the communities are not locked anymore? One example is https://lemmy.world/c/unpopularopinion, which at one point was locked, and might have remained so for one week (out of the past month) but e.g. in the last week there's been about one post per day, so most definitely not locked anymore, and hasn't been for 20 days.
There's a LOT of inaccuracies in this video. Which makes me legit wonder if this video was a trap to collect the IP addresses of people who commented on this post. Oops... but fyi, that's a real thing that is possible to dox people irl. I hope people are using appropriate protections!
fucking hell the amount of effort that would take on popular communities is insane. Was totally unaware of this policy change.
