      Only 2-3 hours old and already 36 posts (less than a minute later 43, I’ll stop updating this now:-), nearly 400 users, 174 subscribers (I guess the others simply voted or commented?) - this is taking off like a rocket!

      The mods forgot the basic Rule of Lemmy: fuck spez.

          I mean… okay so technically they didn’t, but only technically. I think I saw where you asked the question: who owns a community? They acted like the mods did, and now having FA, they are FO that they in fact do not own it nearly to the degree that the community members themselves do.

          So now the community is split, and they may find themselves having to do a lot less moderation work in the future.

          I contributed a post myself to help them out.:-)

              And you as well, for your multiple ones!

              I don’t even plan to join the community weirdly enough, but I do want to help them grow a bit if that’s what they need to be free of authoritarian influence:-).
