I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn't look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I'm drawing is that for my purposes it doesn't really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

So far my experience with sh.itjust.works has been shit. I was banned from a community there for "vibes".

Which community?

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense. They could bother to give me a reason.

I just looked at your modlog history and it could be for multiple reasons. You have used some offensive language in the past. That probably has something to do with it.

The ban predates all of that. Do communities ban for comments in other communities?

You'll have to message the community mods for clarification. They're the ones who created and maintain the community, so they get to decide who gets banned and why.

Getting banned for a comment in another community is certainly possible, depending on what you said. I don't necessarily agree with that moderation style and it doesn't represent most communities on SJW, but that particular community tends to attract some heavy trolling, so I can understand if they're a bit trigger-happy on the ban hammer.

Most servers don't micromanage community moderation. That sort of thing could happen almost anywhere.
