    You will not. It is the reason I stopped posting to /c/Risa and set up my own community on lemmy.world. I went to talk to the admins and they didn’t give a shit either. Everyone is more than happy to allow the moderator of this community to run it however he sees fit. The problem is that his vision of “fit” is not much different than any basic reddit subreddit I’ve seen. Check his posting behavior. Dude actively insults people he’s talking to at every chance he gets, acts like he’s in total control of what Risa should be, and generally doesn’t seem like a nice person to be around. Combine that with the private messages I’ve gotten from him and the only conclusion I’ve been able to come to is that the lead mod of this community is abusing his position, does not believe in the basic tenents of both Lemmy and Star Trek, and will never change. The admins are also perfectly fine keeping this the status quo. The option that they floated when I brought it up was frankly offensive.

    Now you know why I sprinted from this instance and this community. Why should I help this community keep going when the people running it do not believe in that community?

      I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, “What could run off Stamets,” and that’s exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

      Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I’m not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

        Yeah and I didn’t want to be “petty” and start shit but honestly the behavior is getting actively worse and I’m sick of pretending like shitty behavior isn’t the precise reason why I left.

        Well feel free to post over there as much as you want and welcome to the Subspace Fold. Probably what I should have named the community in all honesty.

      Oh, Pumpkin, I’m a fuckin’ delight.

      You mean when you provoke someone into an argument in the comments, and then report them because they don’t immediately acquiesce, so I sent you a message to knock it off? If it had been anyone else other than the most prolific poster, I would have happily given you a time out.

      Now you know why I sprinted from this instance and this community.

      And yet here you are, stirring the pot on a post more than a week old. Did you run out of other people’s memes to post?
