MODERATORS
Seems like everyone wants a bunch of arbitrary rules today. I think all this upheaval is normal for a rapidly growing decentralized network. Having a rule that no one in the fediverse can do something is going to be unenforceable.
That's a really good point.
It's the admin's house rules. They're the ones running the server. !android@lemmy.world is only locked right now, so the admin can appoint a new mod team and unlock it again, if they want.
OP was only asking for a rule in lemmy.world, not all of lemmy.
The rule should be simply to kick out mods who close out communities like this. Right now it's impossible to post on !android@lemmy.world because the two mods closed it after the Reddit mods made them believe that they're the rightful representatives of r/Android.
Isn't the whole point of Lemmy and the way communities work is if you want to moderate and don't like the way the existing one does it, then create your own? Like I get your point here but basically it sounds like the ones in charge of it said "oh we don't want to do this anymore". If they opened it and started it off, it sucks it's closed but a new one can always be reopened.
Unless you're looking to NOT do it that way, and have the admins help find new mods for any large community that decides to do something similar
I mean, they are the rightful reps of r/Android. The questions is whether or not that means anything on Lemmy. My opinion is that it doesn't.
It’s more realistic to ask for a rule on this instance for this instead of lemmy-wide.
I didn't make myself clear, yes I mean a rule local to lemmy.world of course.
