when?
c/196 had a mod who did something like defederate from an instance without asking the users (I'll see if I can find it) and everyone said adios
e: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31368210
Basically users disagreed with the mods about moving the comm to lemmy.world and made a new community even on the same instance, c/onehundredninetysix
Oh Right i remember.
Can mods defederate from other instances? Thought only admins could do that.
Though I suppose you could just ban all users from that instance to achieve the same effect?
There was also the fallout from startrek.website
Ok. I've tone it down a little.
lol no no, I was making fun of reddit, not calling you out. 😆
"Yea" works better after all. You're right about it being more of the usual.
What’s wrong with prints? Isn’t that just how most artists make money?
yes. r/art has a long history of not being a place for art but rather a place for gatekeeping art. famously an artist posted a book cover she'd done and got banned for allegedly posting AI generated content. she was able to show her file revision history to show she was who created the art, as weld as other art she'd done to show that was her style, and the r/art mods decided to keep her ban in place because her art style wasn't to their liking
It's supposed to be a place to showcase art, not a free place to advertise for your store.
The dude(ette) didn't even post a link though from what I can see, so, the reaction is insane.
Print on demand is easy, so, I'd think any artist who's showing off their work online should have a printer that they've run off a few test prints with already ready to go, in case people are interested enough to ask about purchases, but, I'm not trying to moderate a magazine/community and prevent it from being a giant advertisement, so, ::shrug::
Probably a rule that's intended to prevent self-promotion, eitger over-zealously written or over-zealously enforced.
From what I've heard, various mods were literally forcibly removed from their position and the mod having a temper tantrum basically ended up trying to loop them into his delusions. Assuming it's true, sounds like this person wanted to take down as many people as they could with them in some petty game.
Thats reddit in a nutshell.
Users began protesting by posting the word “print” under random submissions, leading moderators to lock down all r/Art posts—disabling comments, awards, and new submissions. External platforms also took notice, with X users highlighting the subreddit’s sudden lockdown.
On November 26, the drama reached its peak when r/Art moderators announced their resignation with a simple message: “You win. We all resign.”
Good: leeches all.
The post received over 23,000 downvotes. According to reports, the head moderator removed all other mods in what some described as a “power trip.”
Classic reddit moderator cringe. Look at all their pointless rules: subreddits are the HOAs of the internet.
Can we keep this shit on c/reddit ?
Why big mod walkouts? That makes no sense. They are literally the ones who can unban him.
We're walking out to protest our own actions. It's the same as when politicians join protests for change. Bro, you're literally in the position to actually change this
A lot resigned because people were mad over the ban. The analogy would be more like a politician resigns after everyone complains about their policy.
I heard it was just one mod who kicked all the other mods and then went on to post that it was a mutual decision. The other mods had no idea at all.
The article is really confusing, it says they posted you win we resign but also that the head mod kicked everyone. Maybe the first part was the mods bring facetious?
It was the work one exactly one person. They locked the sub, and the moment someone else unlocked it they kicked all other mods and themself and made it seem like everyone was following him when it was not.
You are thinking about this from the perspective of a normal person, not someone who is sad and pathetic enough to do something like this. These people are most likely deeply disempowered IRL and being a mod of a large subreddit is probably all they have going for them so they are way too invested in it.
So does anyone know what the actual phrase was that "mentioned" the prints?
Ban reason is at the top:
making mods anonymous was such a mistake
mods like this should be able to be harassed endlessly
I say this having been a mod of several subs
Wow, what a dick!
Thank you!
