As is stated in the title, I created and moderated !prolife@lemmy.world. According to the modlog, this community was removed 10 days ago. The modlog doesn’t show me who removed the community. I understand the community wouldn’t necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea, but the actions taken seem improper.
EDIT
After making my case via email to info@lemmy.world, I received the following response:
“We would rather not have a prolife community on our instance. We were getting a lot of reports about it and we have enough on our plate. I’m sure you can find an instance that better suits your needs.”
This community was incredibly small (19 subscribers), had less than 10 postings, and had several waves of trollings. Yet, the admins of lemmy.world would rather do away with this community than bother to review if it has broken any rules or is the target of trolling/bullying. I take nothing away from the right to run their instance as they see fit. Perhaps the Code of Conduct should also explicitly state “we reserve the right to do anything we want, regardless of any published rules”.
If I was an instance admin, I would prefer the community be called AntiAbortion, rather than ProLife or ForcedBirthers tbh, the latter two names are more likely to piss people off vs the first one.
Same could be said for ProAbortion or ProChoice, but due to my bias I don’t see anything wrong with those names - although I acknowledge it could upset some religious denominations, and of course those who oppose that stance
Everyone has the right to self identify. “Pro life” is the name the movement chose for itself.
