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.
Without people making content, there won’t be content. How many enthusiastic amateurs do you think would find the time and effort to learn Lemmy over let’s say FetLife to post here? I am doing what I do with love, but documenting and editing videos from my private life take hours per post. People who go to my platform are making it possible for other people to see part of it for free. If this wasn’t the case I would simply take more hours at my work and keep my private life private. I don’t see how that would benefit anybody.
We definitely appreciate all your doing! and ive reassured others as well that the admin team has not seriously blanket banning content creators, especially when they arent advertising in their posts ( some content creators were worried about how reddit subs banned creators who had a link in their bio)
