I’m just writing down all the reason I had, and obviously there are different opinions on how to moderate on how not to moderate, and what content to allow. This community particular was young and in the making, I asked politely to tone it down, so I can find mods, setup rules and think about what content should be expected. Jumping all users and each post in a that manner was not helping that community and did nothing to connect communities at that point. We openly communicate other places to subscribe, too and where to look.

See, you cannot create content in a community, if every second post is about another community, instead of the topic that should be discussed. This is no shitty reason at all.

From my perspective the wrong impression. The community was young and in the making, I asked politely to tone it down, so I can find mods, setup rules and think about what content should be expected. Jumping all users and each post in a that manner was not helping that community and did nothing to connect communities at that point. We openly communicate other places to subscribe, too. You cannot create content in a community if every second post is about leaving that community, instead of the topic that should be discussed.

https://lemm.ee/post/57526943 good communications style. Almost not condescending.,

I told you from the beginning: It is not about me being a mod. It is about honoring the decision of the people who think differently than you. It is okay if you deem them not worthy of having a community, but please 🙏 just let them be.

You can simply foster other communities by good quality content, and people will join. They got links to find you. They got posts to find you.

Please, let it rest and focus on constructive community building.

You keep on mixing up two things. One the reason you got banned and calling me/us power tripping.

Second point the discussion about a merger. I take it that merging is so dear to your heart, that you fight for it. That is fine, and well. What you don’t get is, that other perspectives have validy, too. You keep on ignoring that and bringin the discussion to each and every community. Sometimes even in an hostile and toxic manner (lemme.ee) .

In other words: you seem to be quite fixated an numbers and have a rough, even hostile commnication style, even victimizing yourself, without telling the whole story and inflaming drama. Why would I want to merge in such a community?

Also: how come, you can not accept the deciscion of others? Isn’t that trippy itself?

TBH: doesn’t look too respectful without knowing the other side of the story 🙂

If your logic applies, we should never have left reddit .

See. What I don’t get. If you’re against a community, just don’t participate. You wouldn’t walk in somebodies living room and start a conversation on how much you like the other dudes place.

Just go to that other dudes place and enjoy the better company.

That way all people can do things they enjoy.

Hi, the critizied, accused and power-tripping mod here.

Not adding something to the debatable merging discussion, which sure can be a talked about and is even talked bout at other places, and now here again.

The perspective missing is, that a team of mods, even of other communities talked about the course of action. Reason is, that I’m quite new to moderation, and I did not want to overreact. People native to the instance decided to stick with the community, and the debatable vote added weight to that sentiment. One guy brought the topic up over and over again and tried to position an alternative community instead of adding content to both communities.

Other mods recommended to ban him for a week or for good. I decided to engage in communication and asked to postpone discussing that issue in that particular community. Also I asked to stop gurilla advertising another commiunithy while that community was in a built up phase.

After futile mitigation attempts a 3 days ban, coordinated with about 3+2, mods was applied.

This is my whole power trip, and I’m so addicted to it, that I onboarded more mods and employed a voting system, so that banning only happens, when no other way of settling an issue can be achieve.

Edit: The full ban reason was. “Recurring egress linking without providing content for siphoning users. Promotion of community dissolvement.” The textfield was a little small.

They started Iris2 back when the full scale invasion started. There is another European sat constellation (I don’t remember the name) that could be a stopgap. Beyond of that using OneWeb sats is discussed.
