Hi there.
A short introduction: This is an alt account. I’m a moderator here who has been unhappy with the state of news/political discussions here for a long time. The admins have kindly given me the opportunity to see if we can make some improvement the community here.
We will be doing some major revision of the rules left by the previous moderators and will use discussions in this thread as feedback on the direction we should take our community.
This will be an open discussion on the state of our community, the rules and our moderation practices. Feel free to give your inputs.
Hiding their main account and modding from an alt account is a choice they made because their main user name includes the name of an IP neither they, nor lemmy, have the legal right to use in a professional setting.
Using an alt is to limit liability, not to hide anything. It’s a good idea. We don’t want anyone to get sued because a username rose to prominance.
