    They’re clearly using shaming tactics. By calling it a “tantrum” they try to make those mods look childish. In reality the mods demanded something to make their jobs easier, the company refused, so they parted ways.

      Not “job”, these are “volunteering contributions”, that are not only time consuming, mentally consuming, and unpaid as well.

        Hello, I’m meep_launcher, and I’m a recovering moderator.

        Not only did my tools get taken, after the mass exedus, my mod queue exploded. There were so many more racist reports than before, and I was mod of a political satire subreddit.

        Turns out the exedus took all the left leaning redditors leaving behind real pieces of work.

        Glad I made the switch, and I set up cartographyanarchy here, so maybe I can get back to doing what I love, shitposting maps.

        Shitpost maps with me!

        One more edit, I want to get this community up and running, so if you post in the next 24 hours I will write your map a song and post the link in the comments.

        Oh also DM if you want to be a mod! Definitely looking for folks skilled in the art of Lemmy, coding, or just being all around wholesome.

          Dude the name alone sounds awesome

          edit: I want to post this map but its complaining that the content type isn’t html. I don’t really see the purpose of linking a webpage when linking directly to the image will allow it to properly embed? Not sure if that’s an instance limitation or a community limitation but it seems like not the right choice for meme communities

            I’ve just been uploading to imgur and then posting the direct link. Lemm.ee won’t allow direct image uploads, so we kinda need to Jerry rig it for the time being. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

              After Reddit, Xitter, and Duolingo, I start to feel like hosting our work on a proprietary and profit-driven service is not a great idea.

              I just made it a few weeks ago and finally am getting around to sort of starting things up!

              Thank you so much for joining! It makes my day :)

              Tried clicking on that link, got this error…

              The server returned this error: FetchError: invalid json response body at [Redacted]. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error

              I’m assuming you were trying to link to here?

                Like Trainguyrom wrote, you’re probably the first user on your instance trying to access it. Try the link again. It’s the proper way to link to communities using Lemmy. Your link doesn’t give people on other instances the easy option to subscribe to the community.

                EDIT: Interestingly enough it looks like someone went through the first page of my profile and downvoted each comment of mine. Hmmm, how very strange ;P

                  Try the link again. It’s the proper way to link to communities using Lemmy.

                  I’ll try the link, and if it works, it works. If it doesn’t, I move on. It’s not my job to try to make it work, it’s supposed to “just work”.

                  Your link doesn’t give people on other instances the easy option to subscribe to the community.

                  I’m aware, I was just trying to give a pointer to the forum (assuming the link doesn’t work for others as well), so people can manually subscribe if they wanted to, as a community service.
