hmm never a good sign when mods flat out refuse to answer people asking why somezhing happened

(tech.lgbt just defederated wizh social.nano.lgbt wizh no warning and a bunch of my timeline keeps asking why and just getting evasive responses)

especially when zheres a whole page listing all zhe guidelines to enforce transparency lmao https://info.tech.lgbt/moderation/

@mynotaurus possibly because of this https://brain.worm.pink/objects/5629f394-22f0-4c03-829b-9379901c6e47

@eblu aha yeah zhat tracks, tysm

@mynotaurus Oh it's worse than just flat out not answering. One of the mods then came to tell me on my posts that I should leave, tried to claim it was just me and that they aren't going to capitulate to me asking about "individual moderation decisions", played obtuse when I pointed out that others were upset as well and that banning a whole server is far from an "individual moderation decision", then accused me in PM of being part of some group that harasses them over nano.lgbt moderation (I had no idea anything was going on, hence why I asked), then deleted my post when I showed people that he did that with a screenshot, and then told me again that I should leave.

@dragonminded yeah i saw, i just zhought id get more answers if i didnt come in swinging for no obvious stake in zhe matter

@mynotaurus Funny, I got my answer in the PM that also accused me of being one of the harassers, but only vaguely. From what I gather, they've had repeated issues with nano.lgbt users, and as such are probably considering the domain to be poorly moderated enough to warrant a suspension. But that, right there, is a perfectly adequate description to explain to a network of 3.4K users why they were all just cut off from another network. It's kinda hard to claim they want an open community that wants your help keeping it so when they refuse to communicate decisions that affect their entire userbase.

@dragonminded apparently zhe head admin just admitted zheyre basically a pedophile too lol

but like yeah! good enough reasons for you to just Say instead of beating around zhe bush and tormenting everyone who asks

@mynotaurus perk of running my own instance: I can’t explain to my users (me) why I’m defederating another server because my admin (me) doesn’t remember

@mynotaurus I'm reading this again and there is so much documented, public evidence to refute their claims. Yeesh, I should have left during TBS.

@mynotaurus God, you don't have to read this, because this is just a rant at this point and doesn't concern you, but..... yeesh.

They claim that de-federation with "bigger servers" (what's big enough to warrant giving a shit about severed connections?), but their mods account hasn't posted since April except for cost breakdowns. They claim "We do not perform “guilt-by-association” moderation." but I know somebody who had to leave tech.lgbt to stay friends with somebody who, on her own instance, called out shadowjonathan for the whole TBS thing and got her account banned by all of tech.lgbt. "Moderation will be as transparent as possible where reasonable." they have zero reasons listed for any suspensions or limits, and refuse to answer when asked.

Just, yikes. I should have left last year.
