I just see a bunch of people who used to like the community now saying the mods are evil and power tripping and stuff. It's the an actual reason? Why do we hate the mods over one small decision? Is it not as small as I realize?

Idk it just feels really shitty seeing people in the new blahaj 196 brigade the new community the mods set up, do you really have to downvote everything here just bc you disagree with the mods? I don't think .world was the best choice, but Ada is real bad for power tripping and permabanning people for dissenting opinions sometimes, and I respect the decision to move. I'm not big on being banned bc I dared question whether or not trump (the guy who cheated last election) cheated, so the move is very much good news imo. What really is the issue here?

To be fair we did have a mod I think a year ago on LBZ that we removed because they weren't putting any reasoning for bans. Technically they stepped down, but that was after a discussion on our chat. I'm not going to blindly back up anyone in the mod team with me just because we volunteer together. If someone does something shitty I'm going to say something.

I'm not sure that agree with SoftTeeth though (jfc that name is horrifying). I haven't seen anyone getting banned for not agreeing with mods. If anything I think we're a little too sensitive about banning people that don't agree with us. I've reported people who blew up at me in comments sections rather than just removing/banning because I don't want people to think that we ban people who disagree with us.
