Honest question: who was running this "Lemmy Place"?

Grant.
Sorry, I don't know who Grant is... could you be a little more specific?
@grant https://toast.ooo/u/grant
From toast.ooo.
Ahh, ok... so it clearly wasn't some sort of centralized "Lemmy" thing (I was wondering why I, as an instance admin, hadn't heard anything about it until after the fact). With that in mind, have you considered posting your criticism over there?
I would have if I didn't get banned from toast.ooo for my beliefs.
OK, but you understand that nobody here has anything to do with that, right? This was just some event that an instance admin put on. Maybe you should run the next "Lemmy Place" and use rules that you feel are appropriate?
Maybe I'm misinformed, and I'll take that criticism if I am, but I went here because I thought that this was the main developer instance for Lemmy, so it wouldn't hurt to post it here.
lemmy.ml is indeed the instance run by the developers of lemmy. But this "lemmy place" that you're complaining about doesn't seem to have anything to do with lemmy.ml or the lemmy devs... It was just an activity that one instance admin put on, as far as I can tell.
Not my fault.
