Check the modlog for proof, a discussion post about moving this instance to an instance that shan’t be named now got removed for “linking to instance featuring pedo content”.

Ironically that exact possibility was reason for the discussion in the first place so seeing it happen this quickly is a bit funny.

Not sure how best to go about linking to said instance since it seems to get your content removed. DM’s would be the only solution I guess but not sure if those are checked as well.

    You need to know a topic decently enough to be able to moderate a community about it. And yet it’s unreasonable to expect the admins of lemmy.ml - a community about free/open source and privacy - to know about anime.

    This is what mods are for. The sleight-of-hand is silly and obvious.

      Not just the mods. Admins can (and should) also moderate content in their instances, specially when it comes to the global rules. And it’s clear that lemmy.ml admins want to do so, otherwise this thread wouldn’t exist on first place.

        Yeah, but the admins, as the thread has shown, are mainly reining in violations of sitewide policy. Instance rules are mainly the job of mods.

          So the admins are reining in violations of lemmy.ml-wide policy… while lemmy.ml rules are mainly the job of the mods??? Congratulations, that’s the dumbest thing that I’ve read today.

          Couple the above with the backpedalling (from “This is what mods are for.” to “Instance rules are mainly the job of mods.”; emphasis on “mainly”) - a sleight of hand, while lying that I was the one using a sleight of hand - and I’m led to the conclusion that you have nothing meaningful to add to this discussion, and can be safely ignored as dead weight and noise.


          Unlike the above, does anyone here have any decent counter-argument against “migrating this comm to that other instance would be sensible”?

            Comm rules exist in addition to instance rules. You know, like those where “knowing about anime” etc. might actually carry some importance. Your rush to do an own has left you speaking complete nonsense.
