so this is how i learn that someone thought it was a brilliant idea to let moderators set an alias for their communities

i thought these two communities were the same for several minutes, being extremely confused as to how it had different moderators depending on the tab i was looking at..

That post cracked me up, with their no real apology or accountability but practically begging the community to come back to them, and talk of "fracturing" the fediverse lmfao, clearly made after and because they realised hardly anyone was following them to their new home, and not just because of what instance it's on, but because they showed their asses as mods, and people don't want to deal with their bullshit lol

They knew no one was going to follow them, which is why they closed the one on blahaj. I guess they thought that if they didn't give people a choice...? But users always have a choice.

Right, and especially on the fediverse (which is why them talking about those who didn't follow them being the ones to "fracture" it was so hysterical😂)

It's funny bc I see their mouths moving, but it's spez's words that come out!?

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

seems like theyre going to have another "internal vote" to see what theyll do with 196 now, but not right now cuz most of them arent online atm

so I guess we'll sillypost here in the meantime until they have another response :P

I do hope the og 196 opens up again. If not at least we will have this. Thanks for opening this btw OP 👍

The stupidest part was that they said lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemm.ee would have been good choices too. Ok? why didn't you choose those? why fucking .world of all places???

Tbh, speaking as a dbzer0 resident, if they dislike Ada they would fucking hate div0. I like it here, but he's kinda been nuts for a while and I've been passively looking around at other instances just in case he goes off the deep end one day.

As a fellow resident of dbzer0, what should I be worried about? I seem to have missed something.

I don't think there's anything to be worried about. It's just obvious from interacting with him that the power is going to his head. My opinion is that his personality is similar to Dansup in that he's good at what he does, does not play well with others, but is still capable of self-reflection and understands that surrounding himself with yes-men leads to insane decisions.

The most recent drama was that a few months back div0 pissed off the Hexbear mods by going onto their boards and being a shit to the tankies. They were debating defederating from us for a bit, but decided that it didn't make sense to punish users at the bottom for the behavior of one admin. After all, a good chunk of dbzer0 are here because we like having limitable interaction with the folks on hexbear but dont want to surround outselves with social credit score deniers and stalin apologists. div0 is blocked from hexbear now afaik.

Yeah seriously. I haven't seen anything worrying?

Thanks for opening this btw OP 👍

if u mean this comm, Im not the one that opened it X3

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

I see, i learned of this comm through your previous post for mods so i assumed so. Either way, thank you for helping spread awareness about this :)

[–] Zier@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

You can make a 196 anywhere you want, you just need proper mods.
