Summary:
-
Mod of an inactive community is upset that I try to build [email protected] rather than [email protected] and removes a comment encouraging a user to crosspost their question
-
Mod action: https://lemmy.world/comment/14369112
-
They then come to the lemm.ee community and use incorrect data such as “this community has no posts by other people than you” (it does, 4 posts in the last 11 days, while theirs had 2 in the last month) https://sopuli.xyz/post/21608236?scrollToComments=true
-
They accuse me to be on a “vendetta” against LW while I’m the main poster on [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] and [email protected]
-
they try to bargain the consolidation of [email protected] and [email protected] , while that has nothing to do with the league of legends communities (television and showsandmovies were both active, here the LW version hasn’t had a post in the last 23 10 days)
The whole post seems strange to me, what do you all think?

Here’s additional context that Blaze conveniently left out.

I’d be 100% on the Lemm.ee community if it had the history the LW one does.
This has very little to do with LW, and is about the effort I’ve put into this community over the last two years compared to Blaze’s efforts that started 16 days ago and seem manipulative and malicious.
Oh, so now you recognise that Blaze is a manipulative wanker? Yet you somehow missed this small fact when you blocked Carnivore community last week after being prompted by the same manipulative wanker?
This is looking a lot like a personal attack tbh. This community is about holding mods/admin to account, not for personal attacks on other users. Blaze has (from my own personal experience) consistently been working to help promote small instances and provide alternatives to communities hosted on the larger instances. While that may not be great from LW’s perspective, I think it’s good for the fediverse as a whole. This whole situation feels like it could easily be resolved with a good faith discussion between all parties involved tbh.
No. Blaze has done everything to manipulate Serinus to get him to ban Carnivore community by constantly lying, dramatising and exaggerating. He is as far away from “helping small instances” as I can think of - he is a manipulative wanker and I am glad that Serinus may have noticed that this time.
OPs post isn’t about the Carnivore community. If you think there was a power trippin’ mod action related to banning that community then please post about it in a separate post, rather than hijacking this thread. Thanks.
Guess what, if you don’t like my comment you are free not to read it rather than hijacking this thread. Thanks.
You changed the rules of your community to

Hello! 👋
I don’t pretend to even begin to understand a lot of the details here especially about the game itself (though I thought you made an excellent point about the “off season” to explain why the lower amount of posts was a temporary situation), but if it helps to hear an outsider’s perspective, wouldn’t the whole situation have been received better if you had offered a counterargument to the comment rather than simply remove it, i.e. as the recent LW announcement post was saying?
Though ultimately a mod’s community belongs to them and they shouldn’t have to put up with advertisements to other competitors in it if they don’t want. Was Blaze spamming such comments over and over rather than this being the first time? Did he ask and get permission first to promote the new community, or have some reason to think that the other had been abandoned? (Maybe that’s the “off-season” relevance part) - except even if the community had been, your account as a mod is still active, so why not ask you first?
Sadly it seems like there is some kind of communication breakdown between the two of you. Blaze is not perfect and even if meaning well, seems to have overstepped here - being a mod of one community does not entitle someone to make decisions about some other community. So that’s on him, but to state the obvious: just make sure that your reactions in return are up to your own standards, rather than allow the feelings of betrayal win the day.
It seems this could have been handled so much better on both sides. And yes, that’s easy for me to say from so far away, while much harder to do when it’s my own cherished works on the line:-).
I typically post about the North American league, which starts this Saturday. The professional scene is usually pretty quiet between November and January (inclusive).

The lemm.ee community effectively didn’t exist 16 days ago.
Then that is on Blaze for assuming things wrongly (best case scenario, unless there is evidence for worse). However, you posted that announcement saying that Lemmy.World mods must use words rather than going straight for the moderation tools right? So this isn’t a good look to use one set of rules for others but a different set for yourself? Admittedly I am too far away from this to see it properly, though if it helps, it does look like both of you made missteps here.
Great advice.
mate, listen to me, this is counter-productive. complaining that someone prefers to talk about a subject in a different instance just makes you look salty. If your community has more active people, and given than the fact that you built a whole app for it you seem to be very invested in it, it will organically become the de-facto one.
People will naturally orient themselves to whichever comm is the most active. Trying to force this activity by doing things like censoring links to other comms, will only backfire.
Hello,
How did I left this out as this is the first thing people see in the post that is linked both in the link and in the OP?
I even wrote an application 11 months ago specifically to make posts to this community.
