  I don’t like the way moderation is handled in general. I keep posting things I think will be allowed that get removed and there is little explanation and no notification. You have to dig up your post in the modlog of that instance and the rules are pretty much up to the interpretation of the mods.

  For example, if you make a meme about “Eating the rich”, that’s fine. If you make a meme about abortion, ban hammer incoming.

    There’s a segment of the community that makes their delicate sensibilities everyone else’s problem. Unfortunately that segment contains the mods.

      “delicate sensibilities” is just a poorly disguised way of saying you don’t care about other people’s feelings, though

        I mean that the debate right? To what extent do we allow people’s feelings to dictate public behavior?

        I agree everyone should be respected, I support and am a part of the LGBT community, but some things just aren’t worth getting that offended over.

      That’s the nice thing about federation, you don’t have to interact. If you don’t like how a community is run, don’t participate in it, or even defederate.

        100% correct! I don’t enjoy the culture and moderation style there so I don’t usually participate. I’ll comment on something if it makes it into my all feed or something, I don’t actively avoid them either.

      It’s our instance and our communities. The mods represent us, or there would be feedback from our instance’s users saying they disagree with moderation.

        The mods represent the users that haven’t been banned*

        Important distinction

  Don’t write off our whole instance, damn. Yeah, its a transgender instance and our community has put up with a lot of bullshit arguments both outside (gender critical) and inside (transmedicalism). We generally nip it in the bud.

  I think 196 community mods are very strict, though. The rules there are basically skeptical of all political posts, and I would understand if more meme and political meme communities arose with less strict rules.

    I still poke my head every now and again and see what’s up but it definitely Isn’t my main instance. More power to yall though, that’s what federation is about
