As is stated in the title, I created and moderated [email protected]. According to the modlog, this community was removed 10 days ago. The modlog doesn’t show me who removed the community. I understand the community wouldn’t necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea, but the actions taken seem improper.

EDIT

After making my case via email to [email protected], I received the following response:

“We would rather not have a prolife community on our instance. We were getting a lot of reports about it and we have enough on our plate. I’m sure you can find an instance that better suits your needs.”

This community was incredibly small (19 subscribers), had less than 10 postings, and had several waves of trollings. Yet, the admins of lemmy.world would rather do away with this community than bother to review if it has broken any rules or is the target of trolling/bullying. I take nothing away from the right to run their instance as they see fit. Perhaps the Code of Conduct should also explicitly state “we reserve the right to do anything we want, regardless of any published rules”.

    This is not a bad community to ask this question in, but the admins seem to watch [email protected] more closely (several admins are actually mods of that community), you might have a better chance crossposting this there… and as a mod with a policy question this seems on-topic there to me.

    At-mentioning an admin is often not helpful, I’ve seen them say repeatedly that they get flooded with useless mentions and can’t keep up. There’s also an email to reach them, but I forget what it is.
