Fading away is when they're still the big lemmy boogyman and are one of the most active instances
Is this your own conversation with him?
Followup to my other comment, I remembered reading a comment chain earlier about this very issue
Ahh I see what you mean.
Honestly it comes down more to the fact that nobody else stepped up to mod before the drama.
A holdover from reddit culture is having a tight knit group of mods for each community, when it could very well be more open than that.
For example the /c/Trans comm here and /c/traa on hexbear.
/c/Trans here did open recruitment a while ago and pretty much anybody that was interested got added to the team and subsequently the matrix chat.
Hexbears /c/traa will add pretty much anyone that's been active in the community and is trans in order to have moderation available around the clock. As a result any bad apples are culled asap, and the community is much better for it.
I do agree that there could be something that isn't so top heavy though, but I'm not personally sure what such a system would look like.
Lemmy was made by and for Marxist-Leninists but they're very openly non-sectarian, meaning any leftist who doesn't instigate in-fighting is welcome.
It's really just blahaj that's this way, I don't know what ada has been doing but this is gonna keep happening until she gets it together.
Yeah it's ridiculous, if this instance wants to get rolled over by tenderqueers then it can crash.
This link?
"instant" when You had to literally go look for something to get mad at.
As someone who joined Hexbear from blahaj AFTER blahaj was defederated from them: Hexbear gets a really bad rap for a lot of reasons, some true and and most false, a lot of the reasons are heavily exaggerated because of how anti-communist the west has become.
A lot of their aggression is normally pointed at people who are actively being chuds or are in some way threatening the safety of trans people.
A lot of the times when it's said hexbear is "brigading" is really just on a thread that got popular enough to show up on our All/Active page, and because the users there tend to be especially active, it looks like a concerted effort.
Usually 'libs' are only targeted when they actively side with bad actors or act in a way that's anti-communist.
Join up or don't, i've only had good experiences in their trans comm.
You can look it up bud i don't really give a shit what the guy who popularized the term 'brigading' thinks.
Care to explain why your account was inactive for a year and suddenly started posting again two weeks ago in defense of mindgoblin, grail, and soulism?
Good_Girl here, back from the dead to step up for this community and this community only. Proof is on my account over on hexbear
Edit: after seeing that my comments below got deleted, this instance can burn for all i give a shit. If you're gonna bend the knee for obvious bad actors you can eat shit.
@good_girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone here, Look into this: https://lemm.ee/c/dronerights This is 10000% an op by someone.
here's a post where they called me out by name after i called them/it out for being an op: https://lemmy.ml/post/8076550
Hexbear firmly believes Grail, Mindtraveler, DRONERIGHTS, PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES, and exocrinous are the same person or at least part of the same group.
This belief has only been further reinforced for me personally after Grail recently claimed to have an airplanekin partner the same way DRONERIGHTS did.
Don't do that tbh, the people that were banned were mostly banned for being aggressive towards the viewpoints shared here. The community will only get MORE argumentative.
