the way this has been handled is deffo a moment, projecting vague criticisms of a comm that by its very nature needs to be more tightly moderated than other comms as cishet and white and then deleting it without community feedback is pretty unserious and kinda sucks to hear for the people who regularly contributed and weren't white or cishet, and will do nothing but bring those types of posts to other comms, whereas before i could just block the dunk tank and move on with my week if i wasn't feeling it that particular day

exactly. also this weirds me out

The way this was messaged really sucks, and I don't think I can really agree with the reasoning either. I guess creating spaces that involve being mean can turn toxic sometimes, but so can anything, that's why we moderate.

What's worse, the way it was communicated on the backend to other instance's admins completely mismatches the reasoning given here. And they were given advance notice well ahead of the announcement here?

Why play PR games with people that hate us regardless? I thought we were on the same page about the s.

I mean it seems like there's a strong chance it burns their house down depending on the type of firework tbqh. if it's just a firecracker probably not though. In that case the superglue still prevents them from pursuing you and just generally ruins the lock

How many of y'all actually venture out of Local?

I certainly don't with any regularity lol

the majority of our interaction with other instances seems to be them wandering in here and getting mad at our takes.
