Differences in moderation practices. See the pinned thread for a full explanation, because despite Erotador's confidence in speaking for us, the federation issues had nothing to do with our differences.

im basing what i said off of this quote from ada linked here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12466657

"I have asked 196 for years now to have an active blahaj.zone mod so that someone can deal with the blahaj.zone reports that constantly come through and build up, but still, the best we got were mods with alt accounts that get checked every couple of days, leaving me to deal with the build up of reports on 196. Sometimes they would hang around there for days while I waited for a 196 mod to log in and look at them. And because you don't like the way I deal with them, you drag me over the coals for my moderation style, despite no one from 196 stepping up to deal with those reports on a regular basis."

i assumed this was a federation issue due to yall not using blahaj.zone accounts.

I understand, but it has nothing to do with our differences with Ada.

Also, we do use LBZ accounts :p One of our most active mods actually has their main (and possibly only) account there. Plus, Qaz has an alt there and many other instances just to deal with the federation issues. Moss's main account (head moderator) is also on LBZ. I would too if I weren't still waiting on my application to be read...

I don't think the problem stems from not using LBZ, because IIRC Qaz found loads of reports that could only be seen from SDF. I don't understand why, but what I do know is that federation can make a mess of things sometimes, and this is one of those things.

I don't understand why...

The lead devs of Lemmy seem hostile to significantly improving the moderation tools for both moderators and admins.

196 mods were using lemmy.world accounts, not blahaj.zone accounts so due to issues with federation sometimes reports would not be dealt with for days, ada the instance admin would take care of some of these reports, however the 196 mods disagreed with some of the decisions she made. they decided to move the community to lemmy.world, by locking the original community and linking the new one, for various reasons people were upset. some people were defederated by default, some didnt want to go on lemmy.world servers or had their instanced blocked, and some many didnt like how the mods handled the situation in general during the whole ordeal.

I keep seeing comments like this about none of us having local accounts. My account is local??? I was one of the first mods brought on by Moss, so I'm not sure where this came from. I had a shitjustworks account at first, but I switched over almost immediately so maybe that was it? Our reports counter is consistently at 0.

The rest is accurate.
