    Life comes first, and I hope everything goes well with the upcoming surgery @Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca. Please don’t add a single bit of stress regarding anything on lemmy to your life right now.

    I didn’t catch this drama live, but someone linked it to me after the fact, and I was honestly pretty disappointed to see an admin talk to users this way. I don’t think the reporter was wrong to notify the admins that someone was advocating murder on their instance, and they certainly didn’t deserve to be banned and mocked for it.

    Then I started seeing other similar posts (like the one Blaze linked in a different comment) showing that this wasn’t an isolated thing, and I was a bit disheartened because I love sharing memes here, but it’s really hard to build a community when users are worried about an admin lashing out at them. I’ve lost some trust. =(

    I agree with what the commenters are saying in that thread about it being a shame for a big community to lose activity, but with regards to the original issue and the other screenshot you linked to, it seems like an admin temperament issue rather than an isolated incident. It’s hard to build a community when users have to be worried about an admin lashing out at them after a bad day, and I think trust needs to be earned back before I would want to contribute there again.
