TLDR; lost to some power hungry mods to bring us to the Fediverse!

Right, wrong or indifferent; creating this community and trying to go about getting it into the wild the right way cost me 3, yup you read that right 3 of my favorite places on the internet. All thanks to one power hungry mod.

I posted my initial contact earlier with the mods at the Discord r/PKMNTCGTrades and left it at that. Several hours later I get a random ban on the Discord. And then a ban on Reddit. Followed by another ban. And another 28 Day timeout. All becuase I made this community. The mod began our talks with, “I’m not sure you understand how this works.” Claimed I was somehow leveraging a free community and topped it off with some victim shaming. Sure I could have handled it better but as I am typing the bans are flying in. I stood no chance. I appealed it with Discord and Reddit but we know how that goes.

Hope its not for nothin.

    I didn’t think so but now I guess they do and apparently several others. Reddit replied basically, “Tough luck. Their behavior is fine and mods get to pick and choose what they do.”

      Yea, I think reddit grew too big and corporate. I like lemmy so far, its nice to have less prople but more personal interactions! Ps mb create a discord for pokemon players and traders that are on lemmy and let others join too?

        I completely agree. And so far it seems the engagements are more sincere. Great idea, I will get one made!

            Yeah I am hoping we will have something farrrr better than Reddit’s dumpster fire. As soon as I can get this to federate I am hoping it will grow.
