Given the removal of the US only restriction here, I am hoping that we can use !politics@lemmy.world as a place that allows for analysis and op-eds, and keep !world@lemmy.world as the place that does not allow op-eds and focus solely on world news.
It was startrek.website, right? I know about that one.
I have gone out of my way to not interact with him or even be on the same mod team as him, because some of the things he said was legitimately disturbing, and I think he needs serious help. It is my hope that our community can move past him.
With any luck, we'll start running the contest very soon.
To add to that, personally speaking, I do not think multiple ban escalation as shown in the modlog in response to criticism of mod action in direct message is appropriate behavior for our moderation team, nor do I think it should be accepted going forward.
Given the feedback provide here, this is something we will be discussing regarding the standard of moderator behavior as well as further use of MBFC.
I don’t really get why two steady and operational fora need to change
One of the top moderator for both of these community was removed. !world@lemmy.world has had 3 different top moderators removed to this date, and the previous two times this happened was utter chaos, which is why I requested to step in this time.
And yes, US news, which has an impact on the world, should be worldnews as well. As long it’s not Internal US news, and placed with a correct country tag or title( like some suggested)
We will try to clearly define "internal US news" vs "US news" to leave no ambiguity then.
I can only speak for myself, and all I can say about that is I do live in the US.
Again, I would like to try something different here, which is also the reason we're also testing removing the US only requirement for !politics@lemmy.world, since it never made sense to me that our communities should be so US centric politics-wise when our instance and a great number of our admins are in Europe.
We will consider it.
It's going to be very much a trial and error process, which is why the rule changes will be approached slowly and with the utmost care.
The previous logo and banner was made by YoBuck, I think he took it with him when he left.
Might want to run a logo contest/banner contest sometimes soon, if you guys are interested.
