Welcome to Calgary on lemmy.ca

If this takes off I will give mod access to the r/calgary mods I just intended to park the name so it wasn't stolen by someone who didn't intend to moderate it.

Please don't give it to the Calgary mods. Let's start something new. It's time to stop giving them so much attention, and power (if you will).
Pretty please, let's start something new, without the amount of censorship that goes on at r/calgary. It doesn't really need modded yet anyways. If something offends anyone, I implore them, move past it and move on with your day. If you don't like the conversation, don't participate.
- Yea, do NOT give any power to those nazis. They ban you for absolutely nothing.
I attempted to post about this on the r/Calgary sub and the mods removed it. They aren't supporting the blackout and they don't want this community shared on Reddit. I'd advise you not to give the Calgary mods access to this community. I think this is a chance to build something better.
- Too bad for them I guess. I'll be engaging on here exclusively.
  
  This place will be better if they just stay over there. That sub has gotten unbearable the past few years. It used to be SO much better. Always weird, but better!
Waves to everyone, ancient /r/Calgary person under a new name... I could be anyone and I'm karma free baby!
I'd be happy to mod it :p
- Can you agree to keep this sub bullshit free, please? I have no issues with you, but r/Calgary disolved into an absolute fucking mess. No active Calgary mods either, let them be incel fucking losers on Reddit.
  
  I'm not sure what you mean by bullshit free, that's pretty ambiguous. What you consider bullshit might not be for someone else etc. That said I think I'm pretty good with moderation, in general. I helped mod r/Calgary for I think 7 years? before it became too much. So much toxicity and drama, it was making me miserable and wasting my time over the most trivial of things. I still use reddit but haven't used that sub since I left so I'm not even sure what it's like now. I still see it sometimes when people drop links to posts in my Discord server but that's about it.
  For this place... I would personally roll with the same basic rules lemmy.ca has:
  no posting/commenting with hate/racism/bigotry
  no spamming
  no sharing private info like names/phone numbers/etc
  posts must be relevant to Calgary in some way
  Don't give a shit to babysit people, they can just block someone if they don't want to communicate with them. It's cool when people agree to disagree. Not everyone will agree with everything else but as long as you can share your feelings in a civil way, good stuff.
  This place seems small and new enough where deeper conversations could be possible. There will probably be one-offs where someone will refuse to stop being a huge toxic asshole to everyone else, but I imagine that would infrequent, especially with the lemmy.ca mini-application to even create an account.
Oh God not those clowns
I hope that was a joke.
