c/Risa@lemmy.dbzer0.com was created as an alternative to TenForward due to 10F being on Lemmy.world. This place is still awesome and I want nothing but success for it. I, however, can’t really in good conscience add to lemmy.world anymore. Why? This Post (and the updates) explain.
tl;dr is that there is a moderator on LW who has been running rampant for months abusing the hell out of his position. I made a post about it because I was like “dafuq is going on”. Admins then publicly commented in the thread to say that they were totally against this behavior but then haven’t really done anything about it since. Left a really bad taste in my mouth, especially due to the American mod actively silencing Canadians and then spreading misinformation about Canadian politics. I then reconsidered as to whether I wanted to stay on lemmy.world and the answer to that was a no. So I left and made a different community so that I can still post my Trek memes. It’s not meant to compete with 10F or steal subscribers or posters. I just want to post memes but don’t want to do it on LW.
I had only just heard about this this morning from another post made by .world admins saying that person had been delisted as a mod.
I can’t find that post anymore, but now I understand why. For all of .world’s problems, they are at least listening to people and fixing things.
I completely understand your position. The things I’ve learned about some of the people that are still controlling .world is something I wish I had known before making communities here… but it’s not quite enough to make me go through the effort of picking everything up and leaving.
I hate that an already splintered community is splintering further, but I’ll sub to yours as well. Best of luck.
That would have been this post. He wasn’t delisted as a mod, just taken off of the community team. He’s still a mod. They haven’t done anything or listened to anyone. Problems about this dude have been ongoing for months and I made my post like 2 weeks ago. Head admin of LW immediately said that no, he didn’t want JL being the face of the instance. Then the admins have been dragging their feet. They say they don’t have the justification to remove them but they do
I’m not suggesting anyone else pick up and leave. I’m just doing it myself
YePowerTrippingBastards is a good community but can have some people just being inflammatory for the sake of it. It’s where I posted a follow up to the Startrek.website shit too a few months back.
Wow, yeah, he really does come off as a total asshole. Maybe it’s time for me to block off lemmy.world if a mod is allowed to continue harassing users like that
I love Season 2
Also this will probably be one of the last times I comment on TenForward. I left lemmy.world and set up !Risa@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the unaware
W-why?
c/Risa was made as an alternative to r/Risa, because Reddit.
c/tenforward was made as an alternative to c/risa, because Reddit mods on Lemmy.
Now there’s another c/Risa on another instance? What drama did I miss?

Okay, I understand. What a shame that they’re already so political about making straight-forward decisions.
I must not be subscribed to the right communities because I knew nothing about this 12 hours ago.
