LP experience as we have some bumps ahead of us. Great investment as more of our community members show up!

TLDR; lost to some power hungry mods to bring us to the Fediverse!

Right, wrong or indifferent; creating this community and trying to go about getting it into the wild the right way cost me 3, yup you read that right 3 of my favorite places on the internet. All thanks to one power hungry mod.

I posted my initial contact earlier with the mods at the Discord r/PKMNTCGTrades and left it at that. Several hours later I get a random ban on the Discord. And then a ban on Reddit. Followed by another ban. And another 28 Day timeout. All becuase I made this community. The mod began our talks with, “I’m not sure you understand how this works.” Claimed I was somehow leveraging a free community and topped it off with some victim shaming. Sure I could have handled it better but as I am typing the bans are flying in. I stood no chance. I appealed it with Discord and Reddit but we know how that goes.

Hope its not for nothin.

I reached out to the mods at PkmnTCGTrades to let them know I had setup a community for us here on Lemmy. Their reply was disheartening when they asked me to take it down after they told me they were not standing with the community and participating in the blackout.
