the attitude of "ban anything that even remotely sniffs of liberalism" did lead to an incident where TC69 banned a user for a small misunderstanding, then doubled down and re-banned the user with no explaination after the other admins unbanned them, and then basically the entire c/neurodiverse mod team quit the site because or that.
hugely problematic behavior from a site admin. an unapologetic "everyone with a bad take or who ever upsets a frequent user deserves to be banned" is lazy moderating and hurts ND people
edit: fuck i posted from the bit account by accident
Some of them were definitely on the c/furry mod team. Reason that mod team kinda just dissapeared without saying anything is because the incident was about "im leaving" callout posts, which led to the ban of "im leaving" posts in general, and the modteam (if i can recall) was too alienated and sad to really fight anymore about it. Hoping for a revival of that comm soon
Well I'd rather not have a struggle session every time someone decides to leave. We have enough struggle sessions. If people want to resolve issues, the time to do it is as a participant in the community, not as a parting shot

Actually banning I'm leaving posts is good, because they're only ever shit stirring

it was because the admins themselves were making "I'm leaving" posts in a really abusive way, which included not actually leaving.
