Hi guys,

I wanted to ask you about our local communities here. I feel like a lot of them are not really active, and the most active one (like Conservative) has mostly locked posts, so people cant participate in discussions.

I wanted to get some input from you guys, what do you think? Should we have communities with locked posts so people cant comment? Does it still serve a purpose? Or should communities always allow discussions? My own opinion is that they should.

And should we clean up communities and remove inactive ones, making more room for local discussions?

The reason I started thinking about this is because I noticed that some other instances remove posts that are completely legal to discuss. They are just removed because admins/moderators dont like their content. Which is exactly like on reddit then.

    Have you thought that maybe it’s because of the way you interact with others? We argued once months ago, I don’t remember what it was about, but I remember you behaving like a teenager in 2003 on Xbox live.

    If you want your discussions to be more debates and less name calling, try leading by example homie.

      Do you have any examples of how I was behaving like a teenager? Many comments that I reply to, start off by calling me a fascist or nazi or accuse me of being a “sock puppet.” Look in my community and tell me what articles are fascist or nazi articles: https://lemmy.today/c/conservative

      Please show me any comment that I’ve made that was fascist or nazi: https://lemmy.today/u/DonaldJMusk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

      I’ve always supported diversity, supported LGBTQIA+ issues (My conservative community says at top of sidebar: This is a pro-LGBTQIA+ community), and I have always supported the Epstein files release.

      I believe you admitted in a comment somewhere in a thread that was trashing me, that you had fun “trolling” me for a while, and you laughed about it. So in your previous conversations with me, did you really come at me wanting serious conversation? Or to have a little fun ragging on me a bit? Because you sure do seem to laugh about messing with me and then being banned from my comms for it.

      In addition to the single conservative community I mod, I currently mod these communities:

      !calisthenics@lemmy.today

      !weirdnews@lemmy.today (mostly UFO’s)

      !science@lemmy.today

      !libertarian@lemmy.today (mostly anti-trump/anti-police state)

      !WNBA@lemmy.today (women’s basketball)

      !womensboxing@lemmy.today (women’s boxing)

      !womensmma@lemmy.today (women’s MMA)
