This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain’t that some shit?

    @TrinityTek Hi - its not the mods at r/liberalgunowners who removed your post. I’ve been in touch with the mod there and when I made a similar post about Kbin last week it was removed by the Reddit admins, not the sub mods. They wanted to let me know it wasn’t them. Spez has been doing all sorts of shit like that, Its one big reason why I’m done with Spezzit. Post in the m/liberalgunowners magazine here on Kbin-social.

      Thanks for letting me know! I certainly hope that’s true and it wasn’t actually the sub mod team as the message indicated. That’s really slimy for Reddit admins to do that and make out as though it’s the mods, but it’s definitely not surprising at this point.

        @TrinityTek I feel very confident that it is not the mods that took your post down. Like I mentioned my post was taken down by Reddit admin, not the mods. The head mod at LGO has been checking out Lemmy and Kbin as potential alternatives. He is concerned about the lack of mod tools here because they get trolls from everywhere. You can check on the LGO wiki for their approach, but the mods feel like they are fucked once the third party apps end. Recommend you DM him on Reddit. Also, understanding mod tools is beyond my technical capability but the way we can help ourselves is to put the tools in place that will give the LGO mods confidence that we’re a viable alternative. They recognize that gun related subreddits are not in Spez’s plans and there is a community being served that vitally needs help.

      Is it possible to communicate to the real mods (not from the company) for OP’s favor to introduce that Lemmy community? Why not reach and private talk to them? Why not the mods themselves to introduce it?

      Also suggestion:

      Why not flood advertize Lemmy/etc… by many many supporting users on every sub on that website through posts and comments (would affect to storage space and content-analysis-for-AI)? Let’s see if those really fake insecure company pretending to be mods could keep that.

        @xptiger wanted to say that the mod team is actively looking for alternatives but as I mentioned they feel that they need much higher functioning mod tools to be able to make the switch
