Texas

Alas, the previous moderators became inactive, so I have gained control over the community.

My moderation philosophy is simple: While I might express personal opinions in threads, I will moderate based on the Lemmy TOS, meaning that bigotry and personal attacks will not be tolerated, but otherwise discussion should be pretty darned free. (It can be hard to articulate every last thing that can be disruptive, so you may occasionally find someone acting badly that's not articulated in the rules, but I'll take care of that anyway).

If you see something that breaks the Lemmy TOS, please do report it. Please do not report things like "I don't like this post", though¹.

I view myself as a facilitator, not a dictator. Hopefully you will rarely know I'm here. If you have any issues or want to have any meta discussions, I try to "rule" by consent and consensus, so I'm always open to seeing a meta thread to discuss how to make things better.

Please submit Texas-related things to the community! It'd be nice to have a great community for a great state.

And if the above is just too much to read, I'll just say it here: Don't Mess With c/Texas. ;-)

Historically, saying something like that means people report this post with "I don't like this post" to be clever. If you need to get it out of your system, go ahead and report this post, but at least come up with a clever reason, wouldya? :)
