I saw that the newly created community “askawoman” was deleted due to being a “troll community”, with reason being https://lemmy.ml/post/486254.

I never had the chance to visit lemmy.ml/c/askawoman, but see nothing in the provided link that indicates that it’s a troll community.

Could the administration please clarify what made you decide it had to be removed so I can make sure I don’t do the same and get my own communities blocked from federation?

      That type of community (especially created by someone with such a post history) is not about engaging in a real discussion, but about baiting controversial opinions to stir up drama and foster resentment amongst users. It would almost certainly result in further bans and moderation actions that would do nothing but create fruitless tensions while not actually adding anything to the site.

        Their post history is mostly clean, slightly shitposty but it passes. This user, from what I’ve gathered, has more or less genuine intentions since most of their posts are about lemmy’s growth. Just to clarify, I’m opposed to the community they created as it will most definitely bring bad quality, wannabe reddit content. Though banning it for trolling doesn’t sit well with me.
