What’s your reasoning for not asking someone’s reasoning? Or in other words, if the reasoning behind their thoughts is interesting then why stop before your started?

Also sorry i just have lots of questions. Was there a certain type of comment that you wanted to know reasoning behind, or just in general? For instance were you wanting to understand hateful comments, or political perspectives outside your own? That sort of thing

Neat username regardless!

I opened a physical dictionary to a random page and pointed to a word without looking.

First attempt was diarrhea

Reps. Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace have made transgender bathroom bans one of their central political culture-war issues.

Our country is on the verge on imploding but im glad our representatives have nothing better to do than play bathroom police. Fucking jokes

I skimmed it on YouTube, enough to see grandpavict nodding off at his own event, if he can’t be bothered to tune in, why the fuck would i?

I skimmed through the inauguration VoD. The amount of cheering from the audience for signing that executive order was heartbreaking.

:3c

Rad. Both are 💯

How we messed up

The most major failing on our part is, of course, that we didn’t announce the migration beforehand.

No, your major failing isn’t that you didn’t “announce” it, it’s that you didn’t consult your community first. Your actions have demonstrated that you think you own the community, but communities don’t belong to mods.

Moreover you have clearly spelled out that your ideological differences are because you don’t want to “entertain trolls” which i can only assume means you want to ban people whose identities you deem invalid.

Frankly, get off your high horse. 196 isn’t some serfdom. It was a community. You seem to have forgotten that.

There already was 196 on .world. they removed the old mod and then added the blahaj mods as part of this “move”

So there’s always has been two communities, but now some people thinking they are leaders have taken a walk.

Even better one mod said

I can guarantee we will not be expected to entertain trolls

Their ideological differences have clearly been spelled out as not wanting to respect people whose identities they deem invalid.

Heck yeah!! I used to know quite a bit about jw from the exjw subreddit but it’s been years since i frequented it. Now i just know there are a lot of similarities

Thanks! I’m mostly healed these days. It’s been a over half a lifetime and I’m just glad I got out when i did. Hope the same for you and your family

And I’m just doing it for free! Am not good enough 😭

Weird.

The original decision is plagued with the idea that the community belongs to the mods, and refusing to give it over only plays into that stupid idea

I’m sure if someone wanted to actually moderate 196.blahaj then an admin would give the community over.

just like the .world admins removed the 196.world mod before this change

Basically lemmy.blahaj.zone has gotten some criticism because of the server rules and stickied instance posts where we are to respect everyone’s identity/neopronouns. There are a few people who identity as something people consider not real, such as dragons. Neopronouns arent necessarily meant to be literally real, and someone may identify as something they feel resembles them such as a dragon, or “fae”. But some people believe that since dragons/fae/etc don’t literally exist then they aren’t valid identities/neopronouns. These people think that lemmy.blahaj.zone is enabling trolls identifing as non-real things. It also means that people in this 196 community need(ed) to respect people’s identities even if they didn’t think they were valid. Apparently that was too much to ask for the mods of this community.

Personally i don’t know, nor do i care, if the 1-2 people are trolling. If they are, they aren’t typical nasty trolls. They are just like any other user to me. Imo If someone wants to identify as a dragon then good for them. If anything it helps identify people who are openly combative with the instance rules.

All that is to say, it was clear to me that the mods want to move to another instance where they don’t have to respect identities they don’t consider valid. And my suspicion was right because the mod spelled it out down thread

[…] I can guarantee we will not be expected to entertain trolls […]

Rule

I can guarantee we will not be expected to entertain trolls

I’m so glad for you to explicitly spell this out for us. Really, it was obvious but im glad you’re not hiding

I’m sorry but what the fuck are you on?

lemmy.world

Literally the worst instance for a decentralized platform (cuz they’re already too big).

please be assured we have same mod team

No that doesn’t assure me. Whichever mods signed off on this should be removed from any 196 community because you took rule too seriously and forgot about your community before posting

It’s really obvious what this is about. And it’s not a good look for you.
