I genuinely can’t believe moss said that, it was actually shocking to me. You had to assume it during the beginning of that thread, and people tried to give the mods the benefit of the doubt, but to just go full mask off and say “no the community is the mod team and we can do what we want with it” was just bonkers.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
If this had been April 1st...
Or Worship Spez Day...
Then it would make sense, I tell you!?!? 🤡
moss stole our community pass it on
This was the .world one 5h ago, it went from 4470 to 4490 since then. They already had a lot of subs because that community was already made during the initial move from reddit but they had almost zero activity since then.
But yeah the .world community gained <100 subs from this move, and all those subs they had from before are probably inactive accounts.
I would focus more on active users, as you said subs are mostly ghost accounts
This really annoys me, because my attempts to get the high quality gifs community on .world just unlocked have gone unheard. I wound up making a new community on SDF. I guess you need a large subscriber count to get noticed or listened to.
