    Yes. You are going crazy.

    Your comparison with Karen and CVS fails on numerous accounts and lemme spell them out for you.

    1. CVS is an established megacorporation. A bunch of Karens saying that they wont get business from them anymore is meaningless to something that brings in billions of profit.

    2. Karens are not connected beyond vague occasional facebook groups and other types of groups.

    3. Lemmy.world is not established as the be-all and end-all of the fediverse. In fact, it’s shown that it’s badly managed in the sense that the site is non-functional more often than not. Various features just do not work here, show context as example, and the admins are more focused on the fallout over a troll post than working on the site.

    4. Users of this website are the only thing that lemmy.world has. Due to it’s lack of stability on numerous counts, if there’s a mass exodus of users it no longer becomes financially viable to keep the site running the way that it is or even at all. Due to the relatively small amount of users, a mass leaving incident so early in it’s life cycle could kill the site.

    5. Lemmy users are organized on the very site that they are leaving. Comments can be left to point out why the person is leaving. This isn’t being screamed at a single cashier, this would be visible to numerous people in the product they’re using.

    First off, lemme just say that I left reddit because I was sick of the site bowing more to a corporate end than listening to the people and being somewhat reasonable. Lemmy.world is now guilty of that. I genuinely dunno how much longer I’ll stay around this instance if this is the type of administration we see at the start.

    Second, there is no situation in which lemmy.world could be considered legally responsible for that of another instance, allowing access to them or not. Merely blocking the instance in its entirety shows a disgusting amount of overreach on behalf of the administrators. The whole point of the fediverse is to NOT cut oneself off from everything, but lemmy.world keeps showing that it is willing to do so time and time again.
