Yes, I know, trolls etc. But such action turns any conversation into a bad joke. And anybody who trusts a moderator is a fool.
Find a better way.
its the same function in all forums that have mods. the problem is some doing it based on personal bias which is the wrong, and reddit allows too much leeway in what mods will ban or remove.
What’s the better way?
The better way is one where control resides solely with the user.
That’s embarrassingly ignorant.
This isn’t a shower thought. Mods, please remove.
I’m a mod here. While it’s not one of my favorites, it does follow the format pretty well. I try to use Rule 1 sparingly.
It’s a bad look to shutdown critics. I think the votes and comments are doing a good job of bringing perspective to OP’s opinion.
Thanks for your reply. My post was meant as kind of a joke, but it’s good to know the mods actually read through things.
A mod MAKES the community and makes the rules of that community.
Kinda like how you wouldn’t want me to go to your and take a shit on the carpet.
Surely the constituancy of users have some hand in making the community too.
Does your handler know you’re online?
Mods who power trip get reported to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Not perfect, but that and public modlogs help
It’s weird. The simple fact of being watched and told what you can say. And the possibility that what you’re saying is being edited and what you’re hearing is edited too.
This strikes me as abhorrent. But most of the people here call it necessary, preferable and even desirable.
I moderate showerthoughts.
I certainly don’t know everything but I’m very sure I can’t edit other people’s posts.
If a post is questionable, then I try to message people and talk it out. We are all human.
Some people wish we moderated more aggressively to keep the post quality higher, others, like yourself wish there was less moderation. I try to leave things up unless there is an obvious violation, I try to apply the rules fairly, I am human.
You don’t have to participate at all, you realize that right?
It’s a discussion of principle.
If you don’t like it, go to Truth Social or X where they never delete any comments, apparently. You are a free man
I run !news_summary@hilariouschaos.com I don’t remove shit unless u are clearly violating the rules its all available via the modlog.
Why should we trust you?
I blocked all .ml communities so this problem no longer affects me
Manually? Or is there an easier way to mass block them?
You can block entire instances. You should be able to find it in the settings in your Lemmy app. I know Tesseract and Voyager let you edit it. I think you can also filter by keywords.
Thanks! I use Voyager so I’ll poke around in the settings.
