As is stated in the title, I created and moderated [email protected]. According to the modlog, this community was removed 10 days ago. The modlog doesn't show me who removed the community. I understand the community wouldn't necessarily be everyone's cup of tea, but the actions taken seem improper.
EDIT
After making my case via email to [email protected], I received the following response:
"We would rather not have a prolife community on our instance. We were getting a lot of reports about it and we have enough on our plate. I'm sure you can find an instance that better suits your needs."
This community was incredibly small (19 subscribers), had less than 10 postings, and had several waves of trollings. Yet, the admins of lemmy.world would rather do away with this community than bother to review if it has broken any rules or is the target of trolling/bullying. I take nothing away from the right to run their instance as they see fit. Perhaps the Code of Conduct should also explicitly state "we reserve the right to do anything we want, regardless of any published rules".
It is of course the right of the lemmy.world to run their instance any way they want.
But they owe it to the community to communicate clearly who is welcome on their server. The sidebar reads:
That certainly makes it sound like they’re trying to be a default neutral lemmy instance welcoming of every valid discussion topic from every end of the political spectrum. A Reddit replacement. Reddit allows right wing discussion.
Whatever their intent, they could at least respond to this discussion.
I don’t agree with your pithy “that’s all there is to it”
