After being harassed in multiple discord channels by powermod FlyingSquid the news mod blackbeard has shuttered his account and moved to bluesky.

"The recklessness with which people downvote polite disagreements reminds me of all the worst parts of Reddit, and it proves to me that this isn't the social media savior I'd hoped it would be, and is instead just another echo chamber. I hope eventually lemmy.world (and the fediverse more broadly) can grow out of that, but some of the behavior I've seen on the inside from both mods and admins doesn't really inspire much confidence for that kind of evolution in the short term. "
FlyingSquid is the same mod who has the power to siteban people from lemmy.world
Why does lemmy.world keep having issues with their powermods and admins? Why do powermods get the ability to siteban their enemies from the largest instance?

Blocked your instance for being annoying beyond words and I side with Hexbear in the trans people calling each other transphobic beef (lol), so can't reply directly, but the republican propaganda part of it was saying he was actually dead because he was gone for so long LMAO, him frequently going missing had to become a meme first. I am not your aide and it is not my job to catch you up on the last 4 years.
"Weeks at a time" is probably a stretch but showing up in public is not strenuous enough for most officials that they have gaps at all. Hell when this happens in China or the DPRK liberals become convinced people were executed.
