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.
If that’s true, then that would be reassuring. I really don’t agree with some of the current rules as they are (like the pokemon one makes almost zero sense to me, especially since it’s a staple of r34 coms) but I understand why they’d be taking it slow right now.
Good moderation is vital to a healthy community as big as this one aims to be, but if these rules are here to stay, I would seriously consider moving to a different instance.
If the admins could confirm a reevaluation once the tools improve and keep us updated on that, then I think I can stick around. I still like this instance overall and want to see it grow.
So i was actually running the pokemon one that got banned, and to be clear the porn they banned was feralstyle hentai (it was port of this subreddit :https://www.reddit.com/r/FeralPokePorn/) which makes a bit more sense compared to like banning gardevior or something. i do hope the rules relax over time, its always hard at the start of projects like this especially when your dealing with hosting the content yourself
