Even if it takes time, be transparent about it, update the community and explain how long you expect things to take.

Keeping people in the dark will quickly be interpreted as "we don't care"

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is probably top 100 (not easy to count without an index column) with 1500 weekly active users

!flippanarchy is more active

Small reminder that out of the 20th most active communities on the Threadiverse

• 16 are on Lemmy.world
• 1 is on mander.xyz
• 1 is on lemmy.blahaj.zone
• 1 is on midwest.social
• 1 is on piefed.social

Lemmyverse.net does not show Piefed nor Mbin communities on the Communities list.

I edited both the OP and the comment, so hopefully it's more clear.

The reasoning behind it is that 'bro' can be related to the 'bro' culture (think cryptobros), that is not known for good discussions but rather dismissive comments and attitudes.

There is a more detailed explanation somewhere down the comments, but too lazy to find it now.

I don't really agree with that stance, but I can see why someone would think that.

Maybe I should have added a link to the previous post in the OP of this one.

The events were happening in the span of a few days, I assumed most of the people would know of the context

(Edit: ~~Jesus Christ man. I know nothing about this guy other than downvotegate, but he sounds like a nimrod.~~ IDK, I take it back, he seems fine. I talked with him and he just has strong feelings about this one issue and he's making a point. I still think the way he's trying to make the point is going to have trouble getting received, in the way he's doing it, but whatever, he seems well intentioned, I don't think he is any sort of bad way about it having heard him out on it.)

Nice edit

Your modlog doesn't tell the same story https://lazysoci.al/modlog?userId=17498572

That doesn't really say much, the most active video games community on the Threadiverse are !gaming@lemmy.world or !games@sh.itjust.works and have thousands of monthly active users.

I'm pretty sure !videogames@piefed.social at a different level

Everybody in this thread is aware AtomicPoet doesn't like being called 'bro', that's the reason of the whole debacle.

He has stepped down from his mod position, which is a better outcome than 99% of the posts in this community.

Then people still come at him with this kind of comments.

IIRC, AtomicPoet has autism, the comment above is the equivalent of bullying the autist kid who struggled to understand social norms at school.

Interesting. Subscribers aren't usually the best metrics to assess a community, as ghost accounts are still subscribed, active users is usually a better one.

Was that necessary?

Edit: for context: https://lemmy.world/post/36281965

Two of them had around 500 users, another had about 250

Weren't those the ones you brought over from the previous Friendica server where you built those communities before coming to piefed.social?
