lol their banner says "and fuck tankies"

i am glad i am not so terminally online that the scariest thing in the world to me is people who think china is swell or whatever

In addition, lemmy.world has a pretty great reputation, being one of the most popular instances.

lol

Damnit I thought Hexbear was moving to lemmy.word and that would have made me laugh hard

Tankieism is when the admins force you to use pronouns.

Wasn't 196 like basically the determining factor behind why we defederated from Blåhaj Lemmy?

Thought this was badposting for a second

These are the people you sold your soul to, blahaj admins, and they're just leaving.

(and has a team that is 40% trans)

So your moderation team of a nominally trans safe space is majority cis. No wonder /c/196 sucked so hard lmao. I'll guess they'll fit right in in lemmy.world.

Tankies and the unbearable burden of being right all the time, example 7,191

blahaj.zone admins have a tendency to moderate rather heavy-handedly. Mod choices are rarely, if ever, checked by my team, and bans are often given for things that are not in violation of our rules. This is because Ada runs lemmy.blahaj.zone as a very curated community, often removing and banning for matters that are, in my opinion, based on opinion rather than objectivity. I have little against that, and think that, as the owner, she has every right to choose how to run her community. That being said, I don’t think its the right community for us.

An instance rules have priority over the rules of a comm???

NATO-Leftist world is moving to Liberal World? Good. They’re a match made in heaven.

Tankie Tankie Tankie Tankie Tankie.

and where did that bring you, Ada?

With .world's new recent policy of "respectful dissent" and allowing chud misinformation to thrive, I predict these clowns will start going mask-off there and say the most heinous shit.

They (the 196 mod team) got a response from Ada, the blahaj admin they're leaving because of their beef with: (emphasis mine)

I thought this was meant to be on good terms? What about your post is fostering good will? It’s nothing but trashing on me…

To be clear, every post and user I removed was due to queerphobia, transphobia, trolling or spam, issues that broke the instances rules. Some of that bigotry was was implicit rather than explicit, like dog whistles, tone policing etc. Some of it was the “just asking questions” transphobia that pervades most corporate owned social media spaces.

This is the way I have moderated this instance from before the time I handed this community to moss. When lemmy was just taking off, I asked for people to mod the 196 community after it was abandoned by its original creators, and passed it over to moss when she raised her hand.

So if the goal is for this to be civil, maybe don’t paint me as the bad guy for moderating in a way I have done from before your community was created here. What feels like “moderating by vibes” to you, is lengthy experience with community development, and a decade navigating queer and gender diverse communities, and knowing what I want from them. As moss said, this is ideological differences in how low grade transphobia and queerphobia should be dealt with. moss is ok with community pushback for the low grade stuff rather than moderation, whereas I’ll just remove it.

That’s what I wouldn’t compromise on, and that has been the way the instance has run for years now.

It feels like every time I extend 196 a hand, you bite it. I gave the community to moss and started this whole thing. I told another instance admin no when they asked 196 to remove their banner. moss then went and leaked the DMs from said admin, forcing me to remove the post, and then had a public complaint session about me for removing the post.

I have asked 196 for years now to have an active blahaj.zone mod so that someone can deal with the blahaj.zone reports that constantly come through and build up, but still, the best we got were mods with alt accounts that get checked every couple of days, leaving me to deal with the build up of reports on 196. Sometimes they would hang around there for days while I waited for a 196 mod to log in and look at them. And because you don’t like the way I deal with them, you drag me over the coals for my moderation style, despite no one from 196 stepping up to deal with those reports on a regular basis.

I was told that you were thinking about moving to another instance. I offered my support if you decided to stay or to leave. And that was the last I heard of it, until one of your mods (possibly you if I remember correctly) told the community you were organising something with lemmy.world, and I had to hear that second hand. And then, when things were finalised and the decision to move was locked in, once more, I heard about it second hand, after your team made a public post, because no one from 196 could be bothered to tell me before posting.

So no, you don’t get to paint me as the unreasonable admin who moderates by “vibes”. If you want to point the finger at me, at least own your own mistakes, rather than asking for good will and civility and then dumping on me when the chance presents itself.

lol, lmao even.

The combination of not involving the community in the decision, only providing a vague reason and locking the original community really rubs me the wrong way.

Lmaoooo the mods did this unilaterally. Hexbear, the evil authoritarian tankies, have more democracy and discourse

do these dorks really think a subreddit clone is some kind of trademarked enterprise? Just spin up a new one and let people decide if your "moderatorial" prowess convinces people that it's worth moving over. However this does make me think that it would be a pretty funny bit if we made a Hexbear Embassy comm on .world.

might as well shut down their whole section of the website and move to reddit.welt

For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.

For you guys

you guys

you guys

you guys

you guys

you guys

you guys

you guys

anyone that would choose to go to lemmy.world deserves to be there really

moderatorial and ideologial

I know policing the use of English is dumb but I can't help it

Oh thank god it won’t shit up my all feed on my instance that fully blocks Libby.world when I browse logged out

Fuck yeah purge those disgusting fucking chasers. Will East Blahaj tear down the wall? Will the tanks not stop at the fin? 🤔

Main post:

edit: As I’m seeing a lot of worry about the impact this will/could have on the community, please be assured we have the same mod team, and will be holding the community to the same standards. the same things that were always allowed will continue to be allowed and the same things that got things removed before will continue to get things removed before. Lemmy.world admins have agreed to allow us to run our community on our terms.

From the thread:

Moving out of LBZ doesn’t mean we’re not a pro-trans community anymore. As far as moderation goes, nothing is changing. If we see an influx of transphobes or bad actors, we’ll do the same thing we’ve always done and simply ban them.

How are we supposed to square this with the rationale for the break being to get away from stricter moderating?

I’m saying our moderation isn’t changing. Like, the rules page is word for word the same as it was in LBZ. We’re still not tolerating MAGA shit, transphobes, tankie shit, etc.

(emphasis and italics mine)
liberals are just liars and I'm not even sure they understand they are lying here

Bets on how long they last on world?

Lol, lmao
