Post restored - !196@lemmy.world mods remove meme criticizing locking down !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone as "non relevant"

Thanks

Literally telling on herself that she's inactive for weeks to months at a time. But yeah, definitely Ada's fault for trying to actually moderate the largest comm on the instance. I think both sides here are at fault though, as I've seen (and been disappointed by) the way Ada moderates the matrix space she runs.

To be fair that post was in the old 196 as well. It's a rules explanation thingy.

The comment that you linked hints that the mod was already considering the migration for quite a while; so if the dragon rider event had any role, it was like a drop of water in the ocean.

If I had to take a guess it's all about the admins keeping a closer control over the community than the mod in question wants to see. So far, so good, if she wants to mod a LW comm instead it's her own decision, but then relinquish control to the people who were clearly against the move.

Drags a dickhole but if people didn't get upset about him he would have had no power, that's how shit stirrers work. how hard is it to just use a singular they rather than giving them what they wanted...

how can they still be in power when the original exist. That's my guess why they don't want to unlock it.

Yeah that's been one of the funniest parts to watch. It's been moderators versus admins but not users versus admins. Personally I think it's a pretty simple concept that the instance rules come first, then the community rules. I'm not surprised by anything I'm seeing or hearing on the admin side because I think it's pretty clear what to expect when you enter the place and read the sidebar.

Thank you very much!

Can't say I'm not glad this happened. 196 was the only community I was banned from (permanently) and thus couldn't vote or comment on good chunk of top posts.

Why did they want to move it?

Everything, except the resolution of the whole matter, as you need a vote?

I guess now I have questions about what those disagreements were and why any one mod could lock the community and force the move?

Also, if the moderation team didn't agree with admins from Blahaj, what does .world give them that Blahaj didn't? Seems like trolls aren't being curved on .world and it's not as inclusive.

Why are so many instances avoiding Blahaj? What happened there?

Also, I guess I don't understand a lot about the dynamics of the community. But it seems like users are pissed because there was a bait and switch and the mods responsible have doubled down and or just don't want to be involved in advocating for the community they moderate for?

Edit: So, what I gather from the responses to my question is that Ada is an Admin at the Blahaj Zone instance, and the 196 moderation team were not moderating their community except sparingly. Ada tried to open a line of communication to get them to check on and moderate the community more often, or to pursue adding more mods. Neither request seems to have been taken into consideration.

Somewhere along the line this meant that Ada (and possibly other Admins from Blahaj Zone were doing the moderation job, and a conflict arose when people who had received bans contacted the moderation team directly and they reviewed what they had missed.

They then talked amongst themselves and perhaps came to the conclusion that they didn't want to keep the community on BZ. And alluded to such a thing on posts before making the whole thing read only/locking it, and moving over to .world.

The community naturally revolted because they weren't largely involved in the decision. And now some users are completely disenfranchised because their instances aren't federated with .world.

But it can't all be undone (for technical reasons I don't fully understand).

No offense, but I read through that and I still feel like I missed a lot. I have an example of sort of what happened but none of the history to understand it.

Thank you. That helps a lot. It answers some of my additional questions.
