I’ve not heard of it before but a problematic lemmy user who got banned multiple times for sinophobia and other bigotry/harassment has became a mod of a Political Compass Memes sub on there (they haven’t it’s a lemmy thing, my bad) and the posts on that sub are already rolling out the sinophobia.

This isn’t meant to be a brigade against one user or platform, it’s more I’m shocked that sub has being allowed given the abject shit takes and bigotry that meme sub reddit generates and I find that concern tracks when past problematic users are being made mods for it.

Or is that just another lemmy instance? Ngl it all gets a bit confusing for me trapped here on lemmygrad.

Edit: I think it’s a lemmy.perthchat sub not a beehaw sub, apologies for any confusion. Still PCM is a disgrace regardless and the fact there’s one connected to lemmy now is a bit 🤮

    Restricting accounts to an application has definitely helped retain some of that culture. Also, as with all massive growth, many will leave after some time for whatever reason and not come back. I’ve definitely noticed an uptick in activity this month though, probably because it’s vacation time.

    Many communities don’t have active mods anymore or were created by admins, but fortunately as admins we can act on any user or post in the instance so as long as the admin team is active and remains close-knit, we won’t have too much trouble.

    When the GZD exodus happened we had 150 new accounts to approve every day, it was crazy x)
