your sorting by the week, if you look at all time then it is the 13th most popular community on the blahaj instance, and around 600th most popular instance on all of lemmy. still very impressive for a community only a few days old :3

dont feed the trolls people, its that simple, they want you to interact with them, they need you to interact with them.

this fills me with a deep and visceral disgust

im basing what i said off of this quote from ada linked here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12466657

“I have asked 196 for years now to have an active blahaj.zone mod so that someone can deal with the blahaj.zone reports that constantly come through and build up, but still, the best we got were mods with alt accounts that get checked every couple of days, leaving me to deal with the build up of reports on 196. Sometimes they would hang around there for days while I waited for a 196 mod to log in and look at them. And because you don’t like the way I deal with them, you drag me over the coals for my moderation style, despite no one from 196 stepping up to deal with those reports on a regular basis.”

i assumed this was a federation issue due to yall not using blahaj.zone accounts.

there was a new 196 created, however it states it will be deleted if the original is opened back up. the mods did open up the original 196, but people seem to want the mods replaced so the replacement 196 has not been deleted yet

very cute, i love it <3

196 mods were using lemmy.world accounts, not blahaj.zone accounts so due to issues with federation sometimes reports would not be dealt with for days, ada the instance admin would take care of some of these reports, however the 196 mods disagreed with some of the decisions she made. they decided to move the community to lemmy.world, by locking the original community and linking the new one, for various reasons people were upset. some people were defederated by default, some didnt want to go on lemmy.world servers or had their instanced blocked, and some many didnt like how the mods handled the situation in general during the whole ordeal.

i dont get how linking to that post answered my question? was it intended to do that? i saw that post before i made this comment, i still have the same question.

pwease?

this is a quote from ada

the issue is not ada banning users without telling mods, it was mods not doing their job and ada stepping in to take action when no one else would.

i read the post that was used as an example of adas supposed overreach, but that commenter was basically saying that cis people cant be allys because trans people arent nice enough to them, reeks of transphobia to me.

no the community was made very hastily by somebody and they havent been available to do much with it so not much has been done really.

mods? theres only one, lets let ada organize an effort to find new mods instead, i feel like she will handle it with grace and elegance.

genius

so the mods are going to unlock the community and pretend nothing happened?

:3:3:3:3:3

why not open the original blahaj zone 196, and let ada appoint new mods? if yall want to move and have your heart set on that, thats fine, but its clear that there are many people who would lose access to their favorite community if the original 196 remains locked. having multiple instances of the same community is by no means a bad thing, it simply gives more reach for our communities, and more options for every user.

the whole point of the fediverse is that us users can make experiences we like for eachother. its very clear that many people like the way things are, yall dont have to, but we do. its a community because of everybody who participates, lets try and build communities where our queer and trans friends can feel safe and at home. nothing is lost if we have two communities, only gained. let the nature of the fediverse and federation decide how things play out, not a small group of moderators making unilateral decisions for everybody.

remember the part where we lie?

if i have any feedback then i would say that we need some proper rules in place, yeah we can just default to the instance rules but i think having some solid set of rules for moderators and users alike to follow would be a good idea. if you need help modding im interested.

easy, i just steal your shirt, wrap it around the handle, and then your shirtless and im in your house.
