I wanted to stop there but if you want to give it another go, sure.
First of all, there has been “self promotion” about this community on !movies@lemmy.world in the past:
- about the AMA: lemmy.world/post/15026913
- about the community itself: lemmy.world/post/14750922
- about the Dune: Part 2 discussion thread: lemmy.world/post/12820343
I had a few discussions via DM with the main mod in the past, all went well as you can see above.
Also, he didn’t add the reason of his removal as “self promotion”, but as “Not currently considering this action”. He didn’t even mention breaking any rule.
putting them on blast so publicly
I would have rather preferred having discussed that over DMs, but he never replied to my first.
Also, aren’t modlogs public for a reason, to keep moderators accountable for their decisions?

Your effort to conglomerate all communities under your banner is basically the antithesis of the federated model, and even if it was not considered self promotion, I can see clearly why it was considered overtly hostile and removed.
For somebody who cares deeply about the federation, its userbase, statistics and otherwise, you are actually replicating one of the major issues with reddit that federation was trying to solve. Stop trying to be a powermod in the name of defragmentation. It’s just centralization of power.

So we should just let LW moderators be powermods instead? Who centralizes power, a few mods in this community, or LW who conglomerate the very large majority of active communities under their banner? lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active

My brother in Christ, you are literally trying to power broker on federated social media.

Just pointing out when people centralize and abuse their power. As you said, we left Reddit for a reason.
