I have decided that new moderator (including a new head moderator) are needed for the future of this community. I will step back into the position of moderator that I had previously held. If enough people demand I will consider stepping down completely. I apologize for any harm that I have caused to this community.
Hi, I’m a member of The Outside. Vi- Grail’s moderation makes me feel safe. They are a great choice if queer acceptance and safety is a matter of concern.
i think the acceptance of grail as a mod would look on the whole inappropriate. how could the claims of a coup or an op be denied, if the person who instigated the bullying and departure of the previous head mod, became a mod in that mods place?
Because I forgot lemmy was a thing and went back to reddit like some naïve child. Excuuuuse me for trying to be politically active. Who or what the fuck is mindgoblin?
Not sure why my other comment was removed after being up for several days, but this is clear evidence of a group of people organized on another platform to change this community. Grail and others have admitted as much in this thread and elsewhere.
I was willing to give kittenzrulz the benefit of the doubt on this, but silencing formerly active members of this community for calling out an obvious op in progress is a step too far. This is no longer a safe space for anarchists since it’s been infiltrated at the highest level by those that do not agree with the community’s guidelines or original intent.
To kittenzrulez - I know you reached out to Grail on discord in the immediate aftermath of Their original post on blahaj meta. Have you been colluding with Them since then or even before? No good faith uncompromised moderator of an anarchist space would silence discussion (including evidence) of an active op in progress. Any half well informed anarchist should be able to spot that shit from a mile away and an uncompromised moderator would shut down the offending accounts without prejudice. You chose to do the opposite and it tells me everything I need to know about the state of this community.
Edit: just checked the modlog and all comments critical of the Grail coalition have been removed from this thread for reason: “conspiracy”. Is it suddenly against the rules in an anarchist community to point out people actually conspiring against that community? Seriously kittenzrulez? Have you no historical context for this type of thing?
