This is so exhausting. Lemm.ee is closing in 3 days and this community with it. No reason to beat a dead horse (or a live horse for that matter but I digress)

so inspiring 🙏🙏

Hey, I see you deleted your posts and comments but I wanted to respond anyway for the sake of clarity.

I agree with your points about downvotes and this community being a source of opposition media. If we were against this, the community would’ve been removed a long time ago. The community is still up. We aren’t going to curate or over-police it. It’s in an awkward phase for sure, but the community is still pro-conservatism. I don’t necessarily want to see it turn into an anti-conservative dunk zone. There are plenty other places for that.

Deciding to keep using this community or to move instances - that’s up to the people. Our main concern is keeping things in line with Lemm.ee’s rules, and not allowing unacceptable content to be left up for as long as it was the other day.

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 instances of unacceptable content are due to blind spots as stated above, or us simply not having had the time or resources to effectively handle everything.

Hi.

The admin is suddenly ban hammer happy too.

The only person who was banned is the one who posted the Nazi salute picture.

Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it’s not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.

Lemm.ee has a single new admin (JuiceMachine). The rest of us have been here for over a year and the decision to de-mod this community is not a new idea. We are not removing the community at this time, we just feel it has not been effectively moderated to fit in with Lemm.ee’s rules. We want to observe how things go and take further action if needed.

You’re right, that Sunaurus admin guy is pretty cool.

UV unwrap horror
