And the rest:
And the thread in question:
https://lemmy.world/post/11713611
So we need to have a long and serious talk about the authoritarian chucklefucks you all are allowing to dominate your platform, for this is an example of this flagrant bullshit someone else DMed me recommending I go to admins about, but we all know the admins are a group of Good Ole Boys who will do nothing but protect the mod. 🤦
So why is everyone putting up with this? Did we not leave Reddit to get away from power tripping scumbags? Do people not want a community ruled by the consent of its people? People were flagging shit based on bad faith arguing which last I checked falls under that sub’s first rule.
Oh, but telling a mod “no” is unacceptable. 🤦
We all need to come together and create an actual democratic platform because this is blatant authoritarianism and is not acceptable.
Oh, icing on the cake:
Ohh, @[email protected], come heeeere, better come answer for you being a whiny petulant Trump wannabe spoiled brat
Ohh @[email protected] , come and explain why you’re letting mods of popular subs act like this
Just reacting on behave of the admin team, let me investigate, and next time, we do have an email address which would be more appropriate to send complaints like these to.
So… what exactly are you alleging this mod is doing wrong? As far as I understand they asked someone to stop reporting stuff that wasn’t against the rules. You then told them they where selfish, lazy and unwilling to do their job and that they should step down. That seems a violation of rule 1, or am I interpreting it wrongly?
They were ignoring reports of other people violating rule 1 and then abusing their power to silence criticism. They threatened another user who did the same thing:
Which particular comments are you talking about? I thought the discussion was about bad faith arguments, not lack of respect?
Read the whole-ass thread and the screenshots, my man. He was doing that to other people, not just myself, which is the reason why I made the thread.
It’s obvious you don’t care about me, but you have a LARGE obligation to care about your other users and to not allow mods to abuse their power and lord over innocent people. This bullshit is NOT why we came to Lemmy.
I did read the whole-ass thread, but I don’t see any reference to comments that should have been deleted because of rule 1. The rules of that community do not have rules against bad-faith arguments. Maybe it should, but it is shitposting after all. I don’t really see the issue.
And I do care about your feeling about the modding, otherwise I wouldn’t really be having this conversation, now would I?
Bad faith arguing obviously IS a violation of Rule 1 and one his own users accept given that’s apparently what people were reporting others for, and it’s the commonly accepted definition of the term anyway.
Calling out a mod obviously can’t be a violation of Rule 1 because it leads to abuses like this. It’s not about me. It’s about the other guys he was threatening, and using me as an emotional cudgel to bully the other users into compliance.
If that’s what you think acceptable moderation is on your platform, you ought to step down, too. You can prove me right by banning me for saying that, or you can preserve the integrity of your platform by actually doing something about him. Your choice.
I see. Well two remarks about that:
That doesn’t really make sense to me, the existence of a report doesn’t mean that users agree.
Second remark, I agree that it wasn’t classy to threaten a ban like that, I told the mod this. Do I think this shows that the mod is inherently incapable of modding like you seem to do? No, as mods are also humans with emotions.
I don’t see how you could think that I would ban you? I don’t ban people for discussing stuff with me.
Don’t get too worried about OP. “To a hammer everything is a nail.”
that is actually sad. find something else to do with your time.
I already thought the entire post was in pretty bad taste, but this is just beyond the pale.
What the actual fuck? Grow up, you child.
That’s what I told the mod and all he did was prove me right.
No matter what the mod did, who do you think you are that you think you have the right to talk like that to two grown humans?
Because in the real world where adults pay bills, we’re allowed to stand up to other people. Especially those who think they can pretend to be authority figures and abuse power to silence anyone who tells them no.
#SorryNotSorry this is a free society. We’re allowed to criticize people in power. We’re allowed to speak our minds, which he himself claims is apparently acceptable despite rule 1 of his own sub – but of course that rule only means what he wants it to mean and when it’s convenient to him, and you’ll just accept it.
Weird hill to die on in the context of a shitposting forum.
The only reason I made the thread was because other people were being stomped on by that dipshit Pol Pot wannabe of a mod.
The perfect response when you think someone is swinging their dick is to swing yours harder.
Oh are you paying the bills here?
Are you hosting your own instance with blackjack and hookers and then moderating and federating and defederating appropriate instances?
No? You’re just another free user? Who feels like they get to denigrate people?
Ok
We all pay bills in the real world, my friend, and we accept the principles of democracy so we CAN pay bills and not be lorded over by dipshit wannabe tinpot tyrants.
But we both know you just don’t want to admit you’re wrong about this. I’m sure the other guy who was threatened to be banned for speaking out as well thinks that’s a perfectly okay way to accept users.
Actually .world requires user donations to function anyway so your point is DOUBLY moot
Have you personally donated?
