Cold turkey. Better for my mental health.

Social media is anything but.

I appreciate it. Yes, you were the one who said weird shit about me lol.

It has been a pleasure to help. I know I have things to regret, but my regrets are outweighed by my satisfaction of knowing I did the best I could.

I don’t see myself changing my mind. I did this to be a janitor. I would pawn off top moderator role as often as I could, because one person leading too many comms can only be a bad thing. Admin gave me more than I could or wanted to handle, and VERY publicly.

Everybody makes mistakes.

I gave a ban to show nobody is above the rules. I made the ban length commiserate of the infraction.

They needed more and more help, and I volunteered. I only have myself to blame.

Nobody forced me to moderate.

Completely agree. I’d rather have no social media rather than corpo social media

Oh, I’ll keep my mastodon account, but they don’t cross over, the way I see content there.

Thanks.

I guess I’m just sad that if I rejoined on a different instance and blocked .world, it would have 1/10 the content.

Reminder: I’m a lurker so any drama would just be more content for me when I’m just browsing.

I’m treating it as a break up. Cut all contact with her and her family.

Does it make sense? Most likely not.

Just tired of it, I guess.

Naturally, I’m a lurker. Moderation has been the most I’ve ever interacted on social media, and that started here.

I think it’s just best to make a clean cut.

as my account is a lemmy.world (as is yours!) account, and the communities I moderate reside on lemmy.world, when I talk about the admins, I am only talking about the lemmy.world admins

The admins gave me and others the decision. I didn’t ask for this.

As such, I decided to go with the least amount of headache, and have removed him from communities I am top moderator of. @[email protected] is free to re-apply, and I will gladly discuss this.

The admins decided this without actually discussing this with me. They merely reminded me that as top moderator I had the power to remove moderators beneath me. They never mentioned to me that I would be taking on the role of top moderator of other communities until I was made aware of this post and the update.

The admins on NUMEROUS occasions have had no issues stepping in and moderating on our behalf, without discussion. The fact they want to defer now is odd, as this is a first-time occurrence.

I just didn’t want to be the final decider of a bigger topic.

This may be the final straw that breaks this camel’s back. I’m not sure how much more BS I can deal with.

No. I was merely reminded that as top moderator, I could remove Jordan Lund. I said then, and still say that I had no reason to remove him.

The fact that their decision was basically “It’s on you, we’re done here” was unwelcome.

This caught me by surprise, to put it mildly.

Still deciding on my path forward.

I know you’re a troll. I’m done feeding you.

You seem to have time to spare, but maybe searching is hard for you.

Fuck, that made me laugh

Oh, look! A big, ugly sea lion.

Are…Are you new to the internet?

I gave you the exact quote. You DO realize that me posting a link wouldn’t be any different, right?

That’s because you can SEARCH the quote to get the source. I know, revolutionary idea.
