A few words from the moderation team

We wanted to take a moment to talk about the kind of space we’re building here at The Gamer's Tavern. Our goal has always been to foster a cozy, welcoming, and inclusive community—one where everyone can enjoy thoughtful discussions, gaming camaraderie, bad puns, and good vibes.

We know these are trying times. With everything happening in the world — politically, socially, and beyond — it’s easy to feel on edge. Despite all the negativity, we want to make sure that The Gamer's Tavern remains a space where people can find some relief from all that. This is our place to come together and support one another, away from any stress and hostility in the outside world.

Lately, we’ve noticed an uptick in tense conversations and escalating conflicts. While disagreements are natural, we want to make sure they don’t turn into something that makes the Tavern feel less welcoming. If a discussion starts getting heated, we encourage everyone to take a step back, de-escalate, and, if needed, loop in a mod rather than letting things spiral.

Likewise, if you see something concerning on the Fediverse, please reach out directly to a mod for help. Keeping things constructive helps maintain the atmosphere we all love.

At the end of the day, we’re a small server, and we want to keep this a place where folks feel good hanging out. If you ever have questions or concerns, our mod team is always here to chat.

Thanks to everyone who helps make The Gamer's Tavern a great place to be!
