MODERATORS
They don't want content from that website on their instance, and they're an admin, if not owner of it. Part of the beauty of the fediverse is, you get to run your own place and have your own rules. I can't really fault him for that.
there is a difference between doing moderation for the good of the community and being kid on a powertrip. when person asks "which of the new trek is worth watching" and then the mod starts deleting and banning people saying "x is not good, you are better watching y", just because the mod is fan of "x", that is not moderating, that is just shameful.
the mod is not owner of the community, it is the community that creates the content. we literally just had reddit-exit because of that.
I get that the admin has control. And yes, i love that we can just go off to another server and have the same discussion. However there is something to be said about having a centralized server for niche discussion like star trek. That's what it seems they're trying to accomplish anyway. There's no rules or list of banned sites which i could totally understand. However, this comes entirely across as a petty mod not happy about something a site said once. The only purpose being so heavy handed with moderation like that is only going to splinter what was looking to be one of the most unified communities on the fediverse. It's anthitical to what the instance is trying to accomplish, becoming a centralized spot for star trek related communities on Lemmy.
Start a star trek server. Take the power away from them if that's what you want
Just mentioning this without opinion: centralising discussions, and placing the power to moderate those discussions in the hands of a small number of people, is exactly the problem Lemmy was created to solve.
Usually there is a way to talk to anyone and reach a compromise or an agreement.
The alternative is what others are proposing.
