i think you need to clarify what you wanted to achieve with the changes you were trying to make. there was an ideological motive behind them. make that motive clear to people. and then you should hold some sort of mod selection process so that you're not the only mod, or not mod at all if it turns out that you don't have the trust of members. suddenly taking control of the community under difficult circumstances, and making major changes that compromise the integrity of the community, before having to reverse them due to general outcry from members, is ambitious, in quite a concerning way.

you've been getting a constant stream of feedback over the past 48 hours, but surely, this time, it'll make a difference.

So, this is good. Thank you. the transparency you've had so far is nice, please keep it up!

I'd say try to do things like libertyhub has been going from before? come back and ask for feedback after you've been running it for a while ♥️

oh and yes, like others suggested a moderation team might not be bad 😅

I'm not subscribed to this community, nor do I feel that I would be interested in contributing/interacting on any regular basis. All that said, I've seen the drama unfold, and I have to express my respect towards your willingness to course-correct to meet the wants of the community.

From the outside looking in, I think you're doing right by the folks who interact here.
