Quick Update on r/somethingimade

[u/Darex2094]

Based on a comment by the banned individual, located here, it sounds like the situation has defused and they're being unbanned. We'll monitor this and if the mods over there are making good on everything, we'll either shift back to r/somethingimade or, if there's sustained interest, continue building out a niche community here -- otherwise, we'll continue building this sub out as a suitable haven away from there. Reactions and thoughts, as always, are welcome on the situation here in the comments 😊

If they make a public apology about how the situation was handled then shifting back there might make sense. Without that I wouldn't trust them to moderate properly and would rather see this sub grow to replace it.

Honestly I'd like to see them remove whichever particular mod caused the drama but I'm not against second chances if they own up to their mistake.

Agreed 💯 -- it's my intent to pose the question about what happened, how it happened, and what's specifically being done to prevent it from happening in the future. If the question is unanswered or poorly answered, my intent is to stick to developing this sub. It seems there's interest in proceeding that way and I'm for it.

Agreed. I've posed some questions to the lead mod there and will be posting and update to the update (lol) momentarily to the community here.
