@unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone’s comments were deleted in a thread I was just looking at, and I went onto their profile and it also appears to have been deleted? Anyone have any knowledge about them? It’s sad if we’ve lost such a long-time excellent member of this community.
No idea, would assume they’ve deleted their account for some reason. I’ve certainly not taken any action, and am certain @Nath@aussie.zone hadn’t either.
Definitely not I. The whole point of giving you guys full control of your accounts is you can do this to your own account any time you like. I heard last week that we lost Baku, also. That one was sad, I was going to share a year’s streak of my own (for running) after he shared a year of Duolingo. But, he was gone.
Maybe they’ll be back one day?
Oh no. That’s sad too!
I do wish that deleting your account didn’t automatically delete all of your posts & comments on Lemmy. It’s one thing for that to be an option people can have if they want, but I doubt most users deleting their accounts are doing so because they want to clear out everything they’ve ever said.
So lost as in left or lost as in unalive?
Oh, thats sad. He used to be very active, and was very nice.

Ah, so @unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone has done it, have they?
Yeah, we had a good chat a few weeks ago about some stuff, u/bandhmo wasn’t happy with some interactions that had occurred in some chats, not on Aussie Zone.
U/bandhmo did say they might come back one day, but felt they needed some rest/distance.
Its a shame, i actually found we had a lot to talk about. I’s hoping after a somewhat busy period i’m going through in my personal life, we’d be able to reconnect and push forward a few ideas we’ve had for Aussie Zone.
That chat is also where u/bandhmo asked me to become a mod for aussie-enviro. I’s happy to jump in, and i hope people are happy so far with how that whole thing is going. :)
This leads me to a concern I have, and u/bandhmo shares around the communities that i’d like to share. For some communities there are only a few people posting, to the point where it becomes more like a quasi-blog than a community.
So the question we have is, how to build a little more action in some of these communities to create a more sustainable, and fun environment?
U/bandhmo had the idea we could create a Community Leader type role in communities. I don’t know from the admin side what this might entail.
From what i understood, these people wouldn’t act as moderators, but be involved in supporting ongoing posts, in-community events, and along with the mods design the direction of the community they’re involved with.
I’d love to get peoples thoughts on this, and maybe start taking steps towards a vision like this?
To u/bandhmo if you’re reading. Have a break, but come back one day. I know i’ll miss ya! :)
