I’m a mod from r/RSA and our motto is to encourage a healthy discussion even if you don’t agree with it. this allows you to see the opposite sides perspective and ultimately results in revelations to work forward. Also remember that too many rules nomatter how good the intentions are, could cause the opposite effect. a good example of this is infact what happened to r/southafrica.
overmoderation causes not only unnecessary work for mods but also creates frustration within the community. sometimes what you as a admin want goes against what the community wants and vice versa. so with this in mind really think deeply and broadly about rules that you would want to have. basic good rules are, no hate speach, no racism, no doxxing.
also things to keep in mind, is that the world of the anonymous internet there will be bad faith actor’s and they come in all forms to infiltrate your community. sometimes there goal is to soak emails so that they can sell them to advertisers, sometimes it’s spamming ads for their crypto get rich quick investments. ect ect
Curious as to know what you think happened in r/southafrica. As far as I can tell, your exposure is through second hand sources banned from r/southafrica for hate and similar serious transgressions.
We loved having you in r/southafrica (and also doing our artwork), but since you moved into a mod position at r/RSA your mind seems to have been poisoned. Most of the older mods of r/RSA were banned for blatant hate and/or racism. I’m happy to share the reasons and what they did to earn their bans.
Okay, think its enough of reddit and what happened there. We are on Lemmy now and for are looking forward to a great !southafrica community.
I’m trying to chat with Spinaasie in a neutral open forum. If you don’t want any discussion of reddit on here, well that’s your decision and I’ll respect it. I’ll move any future discussions to a private chat.
Thank you.
