Hello everyone. I apologize for the rollercoaster ride in this community over the past week and a half. I have one more change to announce: @THE_MASTERMIND@lemmy.today has been removed as the community moderator. This is in response to multiple private complaints from community members, as well as behaviors inside and outside this community that were brought to the admin team’s attention.
I made the mistake of shortcutting the usual lemmy.world processes when I appointed the user as the new mod. If anyone would like to volunteer to become the new community moderator, you can email info@mastodon.world and make a request. The lemmy.world community team will follow their process from there.
Again, I apologize for all the rapid changes.
If not already done, I’d ask that @Blaze@reddthat.com be unbanned.
Yes, Blaze has been unbanned from the community.
Thank you so much!
Thanks, glad to be back
Why were you banned?
The previous mod mentioned “spamming”, while the real reason was probably describing their erratic moderation behaviour, especially removing threads where people disagreed with them
I have never come across a community that had so many moderator posts. I also have never come across a moderator who liked the sound of their own voice so much.
Glad they are gone.
Hopefully there will be some actual content in here going forward to replace the drama.
Wait, what happened? Did they do anything other than just post a lot? Thought it was a little annoying but not anything worth removing them over.
Apparently banned people who disagreed with them and generally abused their mod power to drive their agenda rather than simply securing the rules of the community.
