I’m thinking that they may have either made a mistake in picking another community, or that they saw what they thought was content from that community and called it out immediately. Let’s not forget that if anything Lemmy is less immune to the moderator god complex than Reddit. Since most “mods” of Lemmy/fediverse instances are also paying a physical price they feel even more attacked. Rather than just announcing simply “Blahaj has defederated from Lemmynsfw” they made a whole post about it and then talked at length about culture war stuff. A simple “Blahaj states their reason for defederating is due to our hosting of potentially illegal content. We want to remind our subscribers and user that lemmynsfw does NOT support illegal content, will NOT host it and will remove anything that violates the law.” They chose to take it as an insult. It’s just business.
I acted on the report I received, which wasn’t for the jailbait community. At that time, I didn’t even know the jailbait community existed. However, it’s continued existence validates my initial concerns
She’s a goddamned moron. Feel free to check my correspondence with her on her post. That being said, you guys do need to have a conversation about fauxbait. It is legal, obviously so to anyone with half a brain cell, but the name does kinda cast a poor shadow on the instance. As we know, morons are loud and obnoxious and draw all kinds of unwanted attention, but they usually get what they want. Ya gotta ask yourselves if the community is worth the trouble it is going to continue to bring.
IMO, It is worth the trouble to expose the hypocrisy and the false inferences.
As per your own comment/question in her post wrt femboys and twink communities, what other communities will be next to be in the line of fire?

Alas, Lemmy does not provide a way of making a local only post, or that is how it would have been done.

You asked for an explanation. I provided one. You respond with personal attacks

BTW, reddit’s r/FauxBait has gone through this before so it’s really nothing “new” - see https://www.reddit.com/r/FauxBait/comments/14ce2b1/future_of_the_sub_being_private_etc/jokul0a/
I was a former mod and poster there (not the head mod)
