Hi there.

A short introduction: This is an alt account. I’m a moderator here who has been unhappy with the state of news/political discussions here for a long time. The admins have kindly given me the opportunity to see if we can make some improvement the community here.

We will be doing some major revision of the rules left by the previous moderators and will use discussions in this thread as feedback on the direction we should take our community.

This will be an open discussion on the state of our community, the rules and our moderation practices. Feel free to give your inputs.

    A mod also removed an Associated Press article for “missinformation.” How much more reliable of a source do you want?

    The current mods are hopeless. Idk if it’s a few bad apples or a bad bunch, but it’s really not a good situation.

      I apologize, and I do think changes are needed here.

      As a first step, I have unbanned @naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca, as from the conversation detailed below, what he has done does not warrant a permanent ban at all.

      I do take feedback extremely seriously, however, please allow us some time to figure out our next steps.
