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.

    I think the admins are trying to take a hands off approach to this overall to allow individual communities to establish the spaces they want. However i just wanted you to know that from the admins ive talked to we do really appreciate content creators and will keep an eye on it. and there have been comments in this post stating “we should ban all only fans creators” which i atleast wouldnt consider, and i havent heard any on the admin team seriously consider it.

    If we see alot of communities start banning content creators overall (not just banning advertising, but full on banning posts from people with a paid platform in their bio/etc) we will revisit it, and try to make sure the space is as creator friendly as possible, however to a certain degree i wonder if it will naturally sort itself out as without content creators they arent exactly going to have content to grow yknow ?

    Are there coms that are bothering you currently ? (cant promise things will change, but its good for us to pay attention to)

      It would be nice if this platform was supportive of consenual creators vs banning them and allowing others to post stolen content. I just wanna have my link 😅

        I don’t have any grievances with this platform. I have problems with Reddit and I’m hoping the culture is more consensual here 🫶🫶🫶

          I don’t think there’s any intention of banning creators at all. In fact I think we’re open to advertising yourself and linking your sites, as long as you’re not intrusive or spammy…

          edit: I should also add that the community mods are the ultimate deciders over the advertising aspect.
