I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

    Well, it’s only mod abuse if it goes against the rules they’ve made. If they make a new rule stating no i/p content, then it wouldn’t be mod abuse.

    but yeah I’ve brought this to their attention and told them to rework their previous rules. If they don’t, then I’ll be resigning from the community, as I have no interest in moderating a worldnews community

    Really though it’s a minuscule community, with one post per day

      i think i maybe don’t understand your stance. you’re remaining mod there to prevent mod abuse, have asked that this mod update the rules, and if they won’t, you’re going to let them run rampant? what does this accomplish? why not just resign either way since that’s the path you most want to follow.

      not trying to criticize, i just… am very confused
