This has happened once before and they reversed it. But they said this last time too:
The discussions that have happened in various threads on Lemmy make it very clear that removing the communites before we announced our intent to remove them is not the level of transparency the community expects, and that as stewards of this community we need to be extremely transparent before we do this again in the future as well as make sure that we get feedback around what the planned changes are, because lemmy.world is yours as much as it is ours.
On the other hand, I really would not be surprised if they did have banworthy content on there.
im not doubting the possibility, but not to even provide evidence to the servers admins is a red flag on pushing the ml dev/admins agendas without being transparent about it.
without a level of transparency, the same reason can be used to unjustfully ban anything.
And their agenda is… hating anime?
not liking something enough that you will on bias remove things. In this case, it was anime, but it could basically be applied to any viewpoints said admin would have then if they were that quick to react to just anime. It’s the action and how it was handled and less the topic.
we don’t. i know the anime community on the internet doesn’t have a good reputation but it’s different here. @hitagi@ani.social makes sure of that.
Oh cool
