It looks like I will be the main moderator of this community for the time being, and I intend to remove any comments calling for violence or murder. In many circumstances that wouldn't have to be explicitly stated, but here we are.

I will try to keep the comments free of divisive political topics, but the memes themselves will be allowed to reference contemporary events, so long as they are funny.

I have faith that neither the admin nor the users will cause any undue problems. My hope is that this community will be a light to us all in dark places, even when all other lights go out.

Thanks man. I've always given you credit for that. Or at least I remember specifically mentioning you in a couple of comments when I was lambasting the majority of reddit mods and pointing to you as the shining example of someone who stuck to their guns and did what was necessary.

Tbh I didn't realize until now that feddit.de originated from r/ich_iel mods, nor that aussie.zone originated from r/Melbourne mods. That might have something to do with you naming the instance after yourself 😅

But seriously, you're a legend and you have done so much for Lemmy. I donate to you on liberapay but it's far less than you deserve.

By the time people were moving to Lemmy, the damage was already done. If anything, you're arguing that the mods helped save reddit from a larger exodus by disrupting the migration? You seem confused.

Just wait until you find out that the admins have been keeping all the blackjack and hookers to ourselves 🤫

Dessalines told us it was okay because we were the vanguard party.

Oh I thought it was a Dick Cheney joke, I guess that's the American version though. It actually made perfect sense to me even without the double meaning.

Lol nah it was TheDude who started the instance, I'll have to check with him about that and get back to you

You seem to have misunderstood, it's the person who started the community who is supposed to provide the blackjack and hookers 😅

Or to start a better version of a community with blackjack and hookers.

I see your point, but it wasn't really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed

Just to clarify, as far as I understand, this LOTR meme community and the mods here were not directly involved in that incident. I believe the comment was made on a different community on the Midwest.social instance, and removed by the instance admin.

I understand that you're in favor of it and I see your point, but I just wanted to clarify the language. Especially with people talking about new users coming to Lemmy, its important to help them understand how it all fits together.

There's no such thing as a community admin, an admin is basically supervising the entire server/instance (midwest.social), and community moderators run individual communities (such as !lotrmemes@midwest.social) that are hosted on a particular server/instance.
