MODERATORS
 

Hi guys,

let me be upfront and blunt, just so this issue gets addressed early on.

There are two communities on two differnt servers. feddit.org/c/BuyFromEU and feddit.uk/c/buyeuropean. They significantly differ in daily traffic/contributers and amount of moderators.

One user of feddit.uk is quite vocal about his community being the real deal and puts a lot of effort in onboarding redditors in his community.

Acknowledging the viewpoint and reason ( META Discussion ), I don't like how he is kind of overstepping placing his solution in any context, like it is the only real deal.

His arguments might be valid in some points, but the style is really poor.

Nonetheless, unmoderated communities without traction fade out by themselves and don't need artificial accelration.

To be honest it is upto @Soggy_Commission_934@feddit.org what to do with this community and to see if he wants to step up and put more moderators in place, or not.

I would prefer to have both communities to evolve in whatever directory they are heading, without interfering.

In the end informed people can subscribe to both and decide for themselves where they want to contribute.

Edit: one user, not moderator.

Then feel free to contact server admins after lets say... 14 days of mods inactivity. The account is quite new, and fresh community creators tend to be over ambitious before realizing what moderation means (I inherited a stale community 😂).

14 days

That's the plan usually. Here it's a bit unique because the subreddit is getting momentum so it makes sense to try to have one consolidated community rather than two parallel.

The sub team just joined Lemmy, by the way: https://lemmy.world/post/26229380
