When your meme doesn’t do as well as expected

That could possibly be my fault, but I don’t apologize.

As the admin of the instance this community lives on, I’ve taken a hard-line stance against extremist rhetoric. I’ve probably banned close to 100 accounts in the last few days, possibly more, because they were directly advocating murder (this follows a similar ban-wave several months ago when similar rhetoric flared up). Digital lynch mobs are not the kind of demographic I want to platform here. Having run this instance for going on 2 years, I’ve found temp bans and dealing with individual submissions for that sort of thing to be ineffective.

I posted an updated Mission Statement yesterday that goes over this in more detail.

Sorry to reduce your audience, but I do hope you can understand why.

Edit: @meatcat@dubvee.org I hope you understand as well. If you’ve got concerns, please DM me and we can figure something out.
