Hello!

I am the lead for the community team, and unfortunately the only active moderator for this community went a bit bonkers and removed a bunch of posts and changed the name and stuff. We are now trying to rebuild this community, and have appointed two new mods Stamets and JonsJava, who will together try to get this community back on track.

If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to put them down in the comments here, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we read them.

Thank you for being here (:

    That was fast lol. Thanks for taking quick action, I was about to shoot a message to the admins about it. That guy was acting out for no reason.

    While we’re at it, can we allow meme posts again? Feels like games@lemmy.world already has its place as the ‘serious’ gaming discussion.

    Thanks!

      Oh absolutely, this whole mess started I believe because Stamets dared to disagree with the active mod about meme posts being allowed. So since he’s now the mod, let the memes flow!

        I wonder if this had something to do with it as well? Thank you guys for cleaning it up either way 🙏

      Yeah… As said, I made a comment saying I disagreed with the memes being disallowed and almost immediately it was removed and I was banned. I noticed a few minutes later and sent it to a few people like “Dudes lost his mind.” Wasn’t long after that he just exploded. I mean it was hilariously stupid because we can reinstate all the posts with very little effort, and putting up a new banner or icon isn’t exactly heavy lifting either.

      As for memes… yes. My whole comment said that I wasn’t sure of the difference between here and /c/games if memes weren’t allowed. As @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world suggested, he doesn’t seem to have an issue with memes. I certainly don’t. @JonsJava@lemmy.world I haven’t had a chance to have a good chat with but we will at some point today and we’ll figure out the rules and stuff but I suspect that they’re not going to have an issue with memes. Although I do not want to speak on their behalf and guarantee nothing, mind you.
