The drama is related to a Science Fiction community mod and and admin. I don't know enough to write on it, so check there.
Edit: MFW I just wanted to make a meme but dragged all the drama here
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
For those who missed this. Izzy, the (only) mod at the science fiction community, was banned by admins.
The reason is him often complaining about there being ads in the Sync client for Lemmy.
Admins take that as toxic behavior and harassment, and ultimately banned him. Which... Take it as you wish, the modlog and comment histories are available.
Izzy came back from another account to say their goodbyes, as they no longer wish to be involved anyway. This post seems to have disappeared.
Then a bit later, admin came to SF to make a post looking for new mods. When people brought up the situation, they locked the thread.
Damn. Makes me glad I main on a different instance altogether. Getting banned for complaining about ads? I'd have been gone the first week.
With all the available clients that don't have ads, is there really justification to complain?
If you like something and it has one major flaw there's nothing wrong with being vocal about wanting it to be better
Though yeah one should prolly swap eventually
It's the dumbest reason though. The reason Sync has ads is because the person who made Sync wants to make money off it. Just like they did for Sync for Reddit.
That's why they put ads in.
Unlike every other Lemmy client, which lacks ads.
This dude deliberately picked his hill among many other options, walked their ass voluntarily all the wall to the top, then shot themselves.
Fully agree! I'm not fully in the loop but it sounds like a lot of complaining occured instead of realizing it was going nowhere.
Haven't come across any ads in Voyager. Jus sayin
Just buy it and you'll get no ads. Not everything is free. There are plenty of other free options, anyways.
I'm not thinking of just ads on Lemmy/apps for it. Just ads in general. I hate 'em. And I make this known fairly regularly.
Sure there is. Justification being you don't like ads.
Use an ad free app then
Are you saying you can only talk about things that personally affect you?
Not in the slightest. I'm saying why complain to the void when you know nothing will change. The complaining mod chose to use an app with ads and then complained about the ads when they could have chosen an app with no ads.
Maybe he felt it would do something or change something
doubt
Why do you think he did it?
Because he was/is an annoying bitch.
Dunno if that's the motivation from his side, not that many people bother with stuff just to be annoying to others. I think he had some different sort of motivation
