Might have a new queer leftist community soon, presumably on db0. I've just gotten back from a trip but I've been in touch with someone interested in it, I'll drop a post if there's any news.
I'd also echo some of the other sentiments, I don't think the instance mods are problematic especially Ada who has been supportive as far as I've seen, but kittenzrulz clearly should never have been given control over the community.
My plan was never to control this community, LOC leaving and the other mod being inactive forced my hand. However, as every day passes it becomes clearer to me that I need to choose a new head mod.
I believe you and I don't have an issue with you personally, but given the way you handled becoming head mod (ignoring suggestions, feedback and pleas to not change things so suddenly with no explanation) I can't see this community surviving without addressing things, which I believe you are fully capable of.
I don't think you necessarily need to step down as head mod, that's up to you, however I think the next steps should be community driven. It would be a big move that would inspire a lot of confidence if you address transparency issues (explain how decisions will be made and commit to explaining them fully beforehand, for example) and allow mods to be chosen by the community, though given the nature of Lemmy I'm not sure that there is a good way to do this. I see Grail has put Their hand up to be a moderator in that thread, if you're considering accepting I think you necessarily need to engage the community first. It will look like someone bullied LOC.wav off of lemmy and took over their space, and personally from having read a few of Their medium articles I won't be at all comfortable in this space with them on the mod team, but again should be a community decision imho.
Also I'll just add that if you're feeling overwhelmed and need help or just someone to chat to in general, please reach out I'm happy to help if I can.
That's exactly what happened, though. That lot have had a pretty smooth op so far and I don't see any major obstacles to them getting whatever they want around here. Well, other than Grail failing to get me tossed out on the street with lies. Dunno why I got targeted; nobody gives a shit about me in particular. I wonder if anyone else has. Could be what took down LOC.wav, maybe.
No, I was a fool for thinking I could manage this community. I'm currently dealing with multiple mental health problems, adding this community to my list of problems was a mistake.
