Hey all!

As you can see we’ve moved house. In short, we’d had enough of members being upset by the Manosphere jumping in and being nasty. If your account isnt on piefed youll see old posts in the old comm, and new in the new. If youre on piefed you can see old in the new and you can help at piefed_help@piefed.social

Advantages of blahaj are…

  1. There’s no downvoting, so people can’t be harassed by downvote.
  2. There’s really heavy moderating, blahaj pre-emptively bans known trolls and has zero tolerance on discrimination.
  3. Ada is fantastically supportive and really cares about creating a safe space.
  4. With piefed we can transfer the comm.

Apologies for not putting it to a vote or giving you the heads up. I didn’t want to give the Manosphere a chance to cause issues before we went, or try to scupper the move altogether.

There are a couple of posts that vanished in the move and there’s likely to be teething problems. But I’m feeling good about there being less stress long term. Just want to say a huge heartfelt thanks to Ada for all her hard work during the move! Ada you’ve been amazing 👏 🤩 ❤️

Any questions?

    Sorry, I wasn’t exactly clear. I’m mostly just curious if you have further plans alongside the move to blahaj to address the issue you raised in this post.

    I saw the post in the old community that talked extensively about the issue of outside influence and open hostility to members within the community which are the concerns I’m referring to.

    Regarding Lemmy growing, what would be the response to the issue getting worse? Are there any plans for if that happens?

      Ah thanks mate. We do a lot behind the scenes to protect members but we don’t talk about it publically so people don’t know how to circumvent it. I’m confident in Ada and before we moved I asked her how she could protect us, she’s really proactive and prevents a lot of issues. We will always get them slipping in sometimes, but they only get to do that once and they’re banned. Dandelion is outstanding at spotting bad ones and we’re both ruthless with banning. I think that’s evidenced by how they hassle me outside… they can’t get our community anymore so they have to be shitty with me.

      With growing, we’ll just have to see how it goes. We don’t have concrete plans cos we don’t know what the future holds
