What's the best way to report the abusive modon piefed.social?

Hey y'all...this was a fun thread to wake up to.

atomicpoet has been a bit of a recurring topic of discussion among admin/staff. My baseline position as an admin is that I am disinclined to intervene and tell community mods how they should or should not run their communities so long as they are not abusing the tools given to them for things like harassment. However, there are cases where, for the health of the community it might be beneficial to do so.

In this case, the actions we have taken included removing !fediversenews@piefed.social from the fediverse topic on piefed.social since the expected standard of community conduct seems to be out of line with many other areas of the fediverse. So we don't want to lead more tourists into the community and cause problems for them or a moderating burden for atomicpoet. There are already tons of existing fediverse communities out there that are active, I encourage people to just move to one of those if they don't like the moderating decisions of the community in question.

Most of atomicpoet's communities are modded only by him and posts mostly are his own. The biggest exception to this is !movies@piefed.social. Looking through past mod actions, it doesn't look like they are as strict in that community as with others, so I don't feel the need to intervene. However, this is a situation that we will keep an eye on going forward.

Something else that has come from this discussion is that it would be beneficial to have some baseline expectations for community moderators on piefed.social. So, I am going to work on adding a section to the site rules in the near future.
