Thanks!
These are some great points. To be honest, before reading this conversation I was in the group of: “it’s their community, they can do what they want with it. Start your own if you disagree”
After reading about all the 196 stuff, I'm definitely rethinking my views. Thank you!
This is a really good way to look at it.
haha, awesome. Thanks!
This is so sweet! Congrats.
My girl is moving in with me this summer. She actually moved to a different state right after we started dating (job-related). But she's worked hard to transfer back here, and it worked.
Hope things are great with you two!
I'm new to the conversation, but may I ask what the number "196" means in this context? Does it signify something important to the transgender community?
I go back and forth with my thoughts on this. I mean, if someone actually started the community, I sorta think it's theirs. But if you just have a bunch of mods, and the original founder is gone, then I think it's the community.
I have very small communities that I mod. And as of now, I am in charge of what goes there and what doesn't because no one posts. If it grew, I'd still like to think I was in charge (under instance admin of course)
I mean are the posters of an instance in charge of the instance or is the admin who set it up?
