I know admin and mod jobs can be abusive and thankless, but ugh that sucks.
I feel really sorry for this admin, but also this is what they signed up for.

No one signs up to get attacked and called a Nazi. It’s really unfortunate that some people still find that acceptable. People should respect their site admins and webmasters, or they’re not going to have a site anymore.

your last line sounds very fascistic. An admin has a moral responsibility, and thats all. should we aid our admins and lend our hands to them empathically? yes, but respect our of fear of being deplatformed? hmmmm

My point was that members should treat admins with basic respect. I wasn’t clear. How I worded it was threatening members to act “in line” otherwise deplatform. What I meant is that admins shouldn’t be accused of being a Nazi, antisemitic, etc. Because they’re just going to shut it down, “deplatforming” everyone.

What caused this?

Admin of the instance posted that they wouldn’t ban anyone for playing the new HP game and in addition would not allow spoiler posts from said game. Admin got a lot of grief for this and announced the server shutdown in response. He then preceded to tell a few different people who critiqued him to “kill themselves”.
Oof

Out of the loop on this. What’s going on with J. K. Rowling and/or the new Harry Potter game?

JKR uses a lot of her time and money to further the TERF agenda. She even proudly considers herself a TERF. The new harry potter game is going to generate a decent amount of revenue for her, which means its directly funding a hateful ideology.
Some queer people and allies have decided to fight against this however they could, which meant that people would hurl insults at people who talked about the game, post memes which spoiled the main plot of the game, and really anything they had control over. It’s been a bit of a nightmare for moderation if you didn’t decide to take a side in the matter.
- Gunther ( @Gunther@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
I’ll add that there is also controversy surrounding the game due to the goblins allegedly mirroring a lot of antisemitic stereotypes
- seahorse [Ohio] ( @seahorse@midwest.social ) 1•1 year ago
JKR is a TERF and people are asking others to boycott the game and/or spoil stuff to people who would want to play the game.
I don’t know
