  • Thank you for addressing that.

    I was expecting a statement about mod integrity on 196 and Moss leaking DMs to start drama, but after sleeping on it I think that some of the issues raised by HB are somewhat disingenuous (e.g. the transphobia cited). I still have concerns about the maturity of the 196 mod team though.

    For what it’s worth, this whole situation just shows how good of an admin you are. For that I don’t think I’m leaving








  • A helpful tip to get myself writing notes instead of lashing out at friends was to send DMs in a chat I was only in. So it felt like I sent it, but without the destroying my friendships part. For each message I’d also write notes down elsewhere and when I was done I’d copy-paste it to to wherever I wanted to send it. Once I got used to it, I would just write notes on my phone and then screenshot it and not send it anywhere. I still feel vindicated at the time, but now I don’t have to deal with the aftermath. It’s also good at documenting what I am thinking and what lead to it.

    Hopefully someone else finds this useful :)




  • I think I understand what you’re saying, correct me if I’m wrong. I struggled reading it and it looks like others did as well.

    You want us to engage in a discussion about if we want this English only OR encourage adding more languages (I don’t know how we can attract more languages, but we can certainly try and encourage it?). You say that we could make it prominent that this instance is hosted in Sweden (it isn’t too my knowledge) and make Swedish the lingua franca of this instance, but you see the issues with that.

    I do think there should at least be some clarification of what languages should be encouraged from a moderation standpoint, but most(?) people here seem to think you want to block other languages that aren’t English when in fact you just postulated the idea as well as encouraging adding more. Maybe it should mention somewhere that we’re primarily English speaking despite having Swedish in the domain name.

    From my understanding, this instance is not hosted in Sweden. It just uses the Blåhaj “theme” as it’s a common icon among queer people. I haven’t checked where it’s hosted, but I just assume it’s Australian run.
