tech.lgbt Moderators
We've deliberated and drafted a response to the recent moderation concerns about tech.lgbt; here is a blog post that explains our response, together with the moderation changes that - we hope - address them systemically.

@mods You know, intent matters. And all of this shit would only be a problem if someone could show to me, without a doubt, that you as a team systematically worked to knowingly enabled people who themselves were obviously trying to cause others harm.
And i am sorry. Not for one second, looking at the people in your team, do i believe that would ever be the case. Everyone makes mistakes. The response to this from certain instances was frankly ridiculous, though. And i will happily await them doing their part in admitting things.
So personally, i don't care. This shit is done and dusted.

@mods some key points I liked, as a curious but casual observer to this whole situation
-"The real error in our actions here is that this tolerance cannot be given with this kind of harassment, even when done through the private nature of reports. It is through this clearer understanding that we have since appropriately suspended the user."
-"In general, we do not wish to incite harassment nor have it result primarily from our actions (such as this case), because it does not help constructively in avoiding the cycle of harassment”
-"conflict escalation to the point of harassment, name-calling, and dogpiling, does not result in communities finding a healthy resolution and we want to avoid these as much as possible when we do provide a response."

@mods wow, what amazing nonsense you're being accused of. I'm sorry this kind of thing is happening to you when all credible indications are that you're putting your all into doing the right thing.

@mods If you need Japanese consulting in the future, I'm available. I'm over at @OctaviaConAmore@cutie.city now and moved off of here because of a modding decision, but I'd still be more than happy to help people understand Japanese, linguistically and culturally, especially if it leads to a better fediverse :blobhaj_love:
