Risa had some mod issues, Tenforward was created. The people who actually post have basically all moved to Tenforward, it's not really a war.

Tankies are a strength?

Lemmy has a large World of Tanks game community

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 7 points 10 months ago

Don't ask. 🤦

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 6 points 10 months ago

Why are tankies a key strength? Or do you mean purely for entertainment value?

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Computer, can you expand on the last point please

A prominent /c/Risa shitposter accused the mods of transphobia, loudly quit Risa and started their own meme community (and later deleted the comments after any evidence of transphobia failed to materialize).

Around the same time, a Risa mod removed some particularly low-effort posts despite Risa having "no rules", which upset some users and so they fled to the other guys' meme community.

Now there are two Star Trek themed meme communities.

I read this in Majel Barret's voice and you can't take that away from me

This isn't reddit, you can name names.

Stamets. He actually banned me from the new place after posting a dumb meme he just didn't like (said I was "ban evading"). Did not know about him crying transphobia but it doesn't surprise me, the person has a serious temper issue.

EDIT I forgot he also retroactively removed two AI shitposts posts I made after writing a rule about it (yet didnt remove his own)

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Thought so. I have had my own run in with him.

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

In light of the current drama, could you maybe elaborate on your run in, and repeat what the deleted reply by stamets was?
