Blahaj Lemmy Meta

If the sole moderator of a community was banned from an instance, does that make the community unavailable to the instance they were banned from?

No.

No, it doesn't make the group inaccessible by other users, however, if the content posted by the banned user is also removed, it means that a lot of the group content also goes away if that user was active.

In this case, I also banned the group itself, because a group that won't moderate against nazis is a group that I have to moderate to ensure nazi content doesn't slip through.

But if it’s a one-off then I understand that you might not have the context to know that this guy is an asshole.

If you have any evidence of Lawrence acknowledging that stonetoss is a nazi and making it clear it won't be posted again, I'm happy to restore that user.

If they just stayed silent on the whole topic, and didn't acknowledge, I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Question for the mods: Is it possible to open a proper investigation to see if we can restore access to [email protected]? I love comics, it’s kind of a bummer that I can’t look at content (or even find) the largest comic community on Lemmy

If you can show me that something has happened to ensure that stonetoss won't appear in that community again I'm happy to restore it, but as it stands, the stonetoss comic that started this is still visible in that community on lemmy.world. Lawrence (the only mod of the community) hasn't removed it.
