I definitely recall multiple posts about that instance (and Seahorse in particular) in [email protected]. One example is the downvoting one (https://lemmy.world/post/18414833), another even more authoritarian example is https://lemmy.cafe/post/10511187 where Seahorse banned the person who reported a comment calling for violence, stating “someone please kill [this person]” - mind you, he did not ban the person making that comment, but the person who REPORTED it. Making reports is apparently a bannable offense, mind you with no text in the sidebar stating that, and subsequent apologies to the admin going un-responded to (according to that post).
Oh it’s definitely not on the same level, agreed. Just authoritarian and to be avoided by those not wanting to be constrained by having to exist inside such an echo chamber.
Edit: I want to add another point about the first post (https://lemmy.world/post/18414833). Even if it was merely someone throwing a fit, the response by the admin to ban people who merely downvoted one of their posts still seems inconsistent with democratic principles and rather 100% aligned with fascist authoritarian ones where Seahorse does whatever Seahorse wants to in that moment, rules and standards of conduct be damned. He can do as he pleases of course… and we can avoid that instance too if that is how he wants to run it.

I remember the second one with the libbity lib lib
The first one seems someone throwing a fit. I’ve had it worst on other instances, I don’t equal them with the three ones.
2 posts seem light to put them to the same level as the three others
