IMPORTANT UPDATE ON COMMUNITY. (lemmy.sdf.org)

As lemmy is a Foss and privacy respecting platform built on that ethics and morals it is only right the clients following those morals should be the most promoted and used. In the past you may have needed proprietry apps or tools but the need is no more as more foss apps and tools that can cater to everyones taste for all platforms are available now ( see the megathread ) there is no need to use proprietry apps which are privacy nightmares and tracks, pushes ads. etc and also if a proprietry app dev decides to collect data there is no wayto know or if they close development the app is gone but with foss someone will fork it . In the past this sub has allowed posts about proprietry apps and tools those posts will stay as it is and you can interact with it but posting any new one will lead to warning and then ban this decision was made as a community by conducting a poll.

our accounts are all less than 10 days old

And ?

and it appears you might be banned from an instance.

I don't think so if i am can you give some proof as i would geniunly love to know

Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but an introduction from our new moderator would have established a bit more credibility before making quick changes like this.

I didn't feel the need to . And i don't think mods even do that

If you’re still wanting to restrict this community to FOSS, do another poll that more accurately and fairly counts votes

I can do another poll if the /c/ wishes me to but for the moment let the /c/ stay like this.

Might have spoken too soon, sorry. I saw you were banned on awful.systems but looks like the ban was an accident (modlog).

You don’t have to do any of that, I was just pointing out that none of us really know who you are, where you came from, or how you became a mod here. That makes the decisions you’re making for this community more difficult to receive.

If another poll (through StrawPoll or something else more fair) is the only option you’ll consider, I vote for that. I still think a separate community for FOSS Lemmy apps would be best given the results so far, but it’s ultimately up to you

I know about the ban i kinda asked the mod to.

This seems completely arbitrary, and a decision you made alone as opposed to at least half of the community's will
