Yo peeps,

I am locking this sub and leaving .world permanently like I should have done months ago because .world moderation, administration, and the user base has proven to be one of the more particularly horrific nests of vipers I have encountered on the internet so far, and I am done putting up with it.

===========================

SO WHY?

===========================

I put up with .world refusing to defederate with Threads months back. I put up with the constant site-breaking and moderation-breaking bugs including blocking not working. I put up with the admins slowly showing themselves to be no different than Reddit ones by sanitizing the website to the point where people have difficulty saying #EatTheRich sentiments without problems. I put up with bootlickers on here telling me that mods can do whatever they want to anyone for any reason and if I don’t like it I can go elsewhere.

I’ve put up with a LOT on this sub. And I’ve dished out my fair share of harsh words too. But what happened on .world yesterday is absolutely unacceptable.

This past day, I have found out the hard way that rape apologia and sexism are actually very rampant on this instance, and that is the straw that broke the camel’s back. I have a few screenshots to show what I am talking about:

Yeah, I’m not down to hang out at an instance where “At least you’re alive!1!!” is a meaningful defense for rape and rape victims are openly told to check their privilege compared to that of a rapist. Amongst the rest of the dumbassery I have borne witness to since yesterday. Whom others openly and flagrantly side with. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Nah, I would sooner jab a needle through my eyeball than do that.

Since rape is apparently A-OK on this instance, I will not participate on it anymore. It’s that simple.

.world is filled with truly horrific people and I will not help them by keeping this sub up.

====================================

SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE SUB?

====================================

It’ll stay locked until either:

1. I find someone trustworthy to keep it running,
2. I delete it,
3. Most likely: The admins just take it and hand it to one of their cronies, probably one of the scumfucks from that thread I posted screenshots from, to assert dominance.

I will seek out and find someone I feel would be a good mod on my own.

All of the posts will stay up.

Thank you all for participating and hanging out, and I wish all the best.
