You don’t want you sysadmin doing content moderation. They’re used to back end work and purging/protecting their instance from the liability of its users. It should be expected an admin will be more stringent and authoritative than volunteer mods.
And yet that is precisely what the mods chose - by abandoning the community for days at a time (tbf they claimed to read it “daily” and thus be active - but the difference between that and actually checking the moderation reports submitted is an enormous gap!), they left it to her to have to clean up. She did not want it, but she stepped up nonetheless. Then they threw her under the bus and drove it over her.
I wish them luck in the new community. The rest of the community though seems to have different plans:-). e.g. [email protected] has 9 posts submitted in the last day (24 hours), and [email protected] has the same (10 but close enough), while for [email protected] I stopped counting when it reached that same amount in just the last 2 hours, and then I did continue just one more time to see that it again had that same amount in the previous 2 hours before that.
Also, a week ago that’s how many posts [email protected] had before the mods moved back to it. So that community basically has no new posts at all since the attempted move.
While the community with the new mods ([email protected]) has 10 times more posts than both of the other 2 communities combined. It’s as clear a signal as one could hope to hear that they were not fans of this whole process. They choose Ada and lemmy.blahaj.zone and the new mods over the old remote LW mods in charge of the LW community, even at the cost of the effort to move to another community.
