Hi everyone. Due to a recent event that proved the serious failure of the moderation team, I am taking back the management of WitchesTown.
As usual, send a mention to TheSupreme if you have anything to ask and feel free to report any toot that feels wrong in here.

So, it seems that people are worried and would like some transparency so I'm gonna elaborate a bit.
Half of the moderation team was thinking of leaving and was not doing much anyway, the other half was getting endlessly stuck in "non-decision wait and see mode". This alone let some heavy shitstorms live their lives.
The thing that made me dissolve the team yesterday was a decision made by an admin to suspend the account of a trans woman based on an old smear campaign pushed by 4 chan with the subsequent support of the majority of the team.
Giving credit to 4chan, the gamergate and the alt-right is never ok. So I stepped in.
I will keep administrating WitchesTown alone for now (with CobaltVelvet managing the technical stuff) and while you may not notice everything (and you don't have to) it should get a bit better.
Thank you for your trust. I really care about this place.
@TheSupreme WB Alda ^_^
Regarding financial support of Witches Town, should I switch my contributions that are currently going to the team back to you now?
@Kimiko_0 Don't worry there's nothing to do about liberapay for now. 🙂
@TheSupreme Thank you for voluntering and taking care of this place!
@TheSupreme that's sad to hear. I liked that witches.town management/moderation was teamwork, I hope you'll get another team on board in the future. until then thanks for putting in the work of managing witches.town!
