Sounds like moderating based on vibes ๐ค
The sudden sharing of culture is definitely the best part of TikTok going down. Let more Americans learn about how the supposed boogie man lives from the Little Red Book
196 mods were working on doing this even before that, but that was actually not the first time that Ada had to make an announcement post about that exact policy. I saw it first come up in Blahaj Meta many months ago in the events that eventually led to me taking a mod position at LibertyHub
Weirdly defensive.
I dont remember that decision on y'alls part as particularly controversial, rather the drama - from some non-blahaj members - surrounding Ada's announcement following it.
We're talking about moderation policies here after all, not any one user.
Also, it was in PugJesus's post about his departure that you first mentioned that the 196 mods had already been discussing moving to .world. A comment that you've subsequently deleted. Seems odd to bring it up at that time if it wasn't in some way related.
Oh god I should have known that haha. I've been out of school for too long apparently
I dislike most big .world communities and the centralization of Lemmy, but I'm glad you guys feel confident in your ability to cultivate the same community in a larger and less curated space.
Yea, the community didnt give consent to be constantly embattled with people from a less queer friendly (let alone queer oriented) instance.
You know, I actually thought it looked off when I saw it too, but just posted what my calculator told me haha.
I'm glad to hear that my presumptions are false. Please tell us what you're referring to so that we dont have to speculate.
My money's on they don't want Ada going over their heads and mandating that neopronouns will be respected. That's the only high profile drama that I've seen on Blahaj in many months. They can call it differences on the back end all they want, but I have to see this as a move away from pro-trans moderation policies, since they're leaving the instance that's explictly pro-trans.
Oh nooo did you not like the consequences of making a unilateral and extremely unpopular descision? Better start silencing the dissenters quick!
