i still dont know exactly why everyon started to leave .social
@impmon i have a link of posts abt the movement if u would like to read about it! it should be pinned on my profile (though someone had an issue with the links so im about to check those over but feel free to read still)
@impmon some posts have been going around criticising the mod team for being lenient on certain issues and responding poorly when pressed on that front. for a number of people this was reason enough to move instances, then some people just jumped on it as a trend, I think. I don't have the thread with receipts etc on hand but I could dig it up if you want to read it
@aeleus yah im trying to read it now, i know i myself made a .trollian bc i wanted to anyways but. what im hearing is kinda bad regarding .social
@impmon definitely! when I'm informing people about this kind of stuff I try to keep a neutral tone but that doesn't mean I don't agree with the concerns have been brought up!
@impmon I think one of the admins was being transphobic and overall a jerk??
@vaquitas oh yikes??
@impmon yeah :| and there’s like only one active mod doing something about it
@impmon miku got banned so some people moved in fear of also being banned, some people moved bcs they liked miku, and some people left bcs all their friends did too
i'm not leaving bcs i can just refollow all my friends and they'll still have to listen to my dumb crap no matter where they are
@jesrosewater valid reasons really, im hearing some other things went on too so im just assuming a shit ton of drama happened?
@impmon there's also words being thrown around that the mods let p*dos, abusers, etc stay on the instance and that Eugen is Bad
however i havent seen much Actual Proof other than people saying things. which normally i would believe, but this is the type of things where there CAN be screenshots passed around, and theres. not.
@jesrosewater yeah it's like that... I've been taking some of it with a grain of salt bc lack of proof + I wish more people were willing and able to talk about it like "eugen makes moderation + community decisions I don't agree with/that leave people vulnerable/that are more lenient than the community rules suggest" rather than "eugen is a trash lord and should choke"

@aeleus i'm staying right the fuck here cos i'll be damned if i let any nastards encroach on my space and drive me out. nah, fuck you, my stubborn foot is so deep into the sand.

as far as i can tell, the only Bad thing that has any proof so far, is Miku being banned. which is pretty bad. but i don't know or really care about miku so i'm staying put until i see something.

@jesrosewater that's fair! personally I'd been meaning to leave .social for a while and this was just the kick I needed to finally get on it, but even if there's issues the .social moderation seems to be miles ahead of like, any major social media platform lmao
@jesrosewater @pchoooooo has a link and pinned stuff about it, appearently mods threatened to ban someone over a serious callout or w.e
