So will you keep it unmodded? Because that seems like a worse idea. Your community, your rules, but I’m just wondering about the thoughts behind leaving a “controversial” community unmodded.

“Unmodded” might not be the right word. To clarify, there will be no “community moderators”, but we the admin team will keep an eye on it for the time being. We feel that there was an issue with reports from the queue being resolved by mods, but with no action taken against unacceptable content. It made it sort of a blind spot for us, hence the Nazi salute celebration hitting the front page of the community for 2 days.

And the person who posted the Nazi salute pic is not the only person to be banned on Lemm.ee lately.

So are you telling me that lemm.ee has NOT changed it’s attitudes towards banning and what it allows on here in the last few months?

I’m not implying you are wrong, I would like qualification. Because I have seen other peopel say the same thing to. There seems to be a much lower tolerance lately.

Lemm.ee is growing pretty quickly and people get banned every day - the modlog is public. A recent uptick is possible, but our admin activity can fluctuate pretty sporadically depending on IRL stuff. Any tolerance of unacceptable content is due to blind spots as stated above, or us simply not having had the time or resources.
