Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.

I know there’s been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it’s been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.

Here’s a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.

For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.

Also, there’s another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.

    While I’m not sure if there’s anything that can be done about it, I really don’t like that I’m able to see who reported my content. By not having the reporters be anonymous, it leaves a gateway for people to be harassed by others for making completely legitimate reports.

    I’m not sure how likely it is that a case like this has happened already, but as the community grows, we’re bound to see people who are here in bad faith.

      Related to this subject – when a post by a moderator is reported, it ends up going to back to the same moderator to decide on it… when they are most definitely not a neutral party when their own possibly underage flat-chested anime schoolgirl post is reported.

      Moderator reports should go to an unrelated third party to adjudicate.

      Otherwise, in practice, moderators just resolve all the reports they don’t agree with.

      As a moderator I was having the same idea the other day. i dont think we even need to make the backend changes honestly, we could just in the UI replace it with “anonymous”.
