The whole ruse thing with other Lemmy mods is super strange to me, I don't get it at all. Do the admins dislike dunking so much that they want it removed from other instances? Are they that invested in how other instances are run? Or was it not actually a ruse?
I might be overthinking it, I dunno. The whole thing has really weird vibes.
I think you're overthinking it. The problem attempting to be solved by messaging the other admins was not "dunking" it was their drama communities doing harassment campaigns (against vegantheoryclub most notably), and trying to bait other instances into doing the right thing and shutting down those harassment engines
The issue with that message (IMO) was mainly that it happened before the public announcement here, and that it conceded our dunking as shitty/harassing and analagous to those drama comms on other instances, which it isn't. I guess the idea was that the lib instance admins would see that capitulation and apply the same critical eye to themselves, but obv that didn't work given the lack of response from them
The context switching/tone difference between addressing users here, vs addressing other admins there, is to be expected and shouldn't be held against carcosa
An addendum to my previous comment from the other thread: We've seen from the various name changes to Main recently that it is possible to simply edit/change the name of a comm while leaving the comm itself intact. I'd vote to simply reopen/rename dunk tank, remove rule 8 and add one in it's place banning posts about other Lemmy users if necessary. Those 2 or 3 relatively quick and simple changes would resolve just about everything I think.
The name change is just cosmetic basically. It doesn't change url or what it shows up as in 'create post'
Thank you for your amazing work running the ship up till now. If you feel that you need to step down I respect that. I'm awed that anyone could captain this motley crew as long as you did.
