Personally I feel like that should be it’s own separate community since those people aren’t really powertripping, they’re just being assholes. Powertripping is something only community mods can really do.
I very much disagree with their sentiment considering that many offenses like harassment and ban evasion are quite serious. I’ve dealt with some of that from one specific user (who went as far as to threaten to kill me) and the fact that people are still unaware of the real problem associated with that user is preventing them from being banned, and causing people to just go off about things that are not actually problems.
Probably would suggest to wait for a while, or maybe just do it and let people come. People who hate [email protected] don’t have to use it or browse it do they? No they don’t, but it provides awareness for abusive moderation, despite the fact many abusive mods despise it.
Something like this for users though should only be done for serious offenses, like harassment, threats, or encouragement of suicide, and callouts should only really be made when a user is directly involved in the situation.
[email protected] is only good for Mod abuse, it’s not for any of the other types of drama, like harassment, or persistent/aggressive trolls.
I’m sure we can extend the scope to those as well
@[email protected] , what do you think?
Nah, set up a Drama Sub, that’s what it is, really
The new community should probably try to have a more distinct name to help distinguish from the current fediverselore+drama community
Maybe something around “trolls”? Like trollingbastards, in the same spirit of [email protected]
YeShitheadTrolls ?
And host it on sh.itjust.works for a combo
Nah that would be out of scope.
Thanks for confirming!

I remember suggesting such community a few weeks ago on [email protected], majority of people preferred to avoid it: https://feddit.org/post/5768311
Maybe we can suggest again, or maybe it’s too early

I’ll wait a few days. Ping me again here next week and we can open another thread to discuss with people potentially interested
