Jeez man, people got some PTSD about reddit power mods or something?? Why ya'll gotta be so shitty to the mods??

That thread was definitely getting toxic af, specifically the troll that posted. I agree with ya'll saying it makes sense to encourage discussion, esp on topics that're controversial, but like go read some of that OP's comments on that thread! They were being shitty to people just to be shitty - I think the mod made the right call for sure.

Even if the mod were off base, no excuse to treat 'em like shit!

If you're too good at your job it makes everyone else look bad.

Some sort of shitpostception, gears within gears, and at the center of it all, somehow, Palpatine has returned.

It'd be nice to have some kind of recourse of a mod gets out of hand and wrecks a community.

Like a way to either vote out mods (dangerous in case of bot voting), or to fork communities such that community members are made aware of the forking (potential spam/troll vector), or something like that.

Idk if that's needed here, but just in general.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not needed. Admins create their own policy on removing mods and purging communities. Everything else you vote with your feet.

Squid isn't as awful as people play like he is, but he's a provocative troll himself half the time and if he used the metric he used to ban this guy he'd have to ban himself.

he's a mall cop still bitter about failing out of the police academy.

I tangled with him once, he's response when I said he was being pendentic about something, was "don't you see I'm a mod?"

That tells you everything you need to know about him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The voting with your feet only works if people know there is another (viable) option, which is what I was getting at with the forking idea.

Idk much about the mod or really the op in the referenced post, I was taking more generally; I've seen a few small communities turn into little fiefdoms.

Lemmy clients need to make it easier to find the mod logs for communities and specific mods.

To be fair it was getting pretty toxic... But then again I'm ok with that.

I think the main reason they should be banned is because their posts are mid

I was going to say, we need a new community /c/midposting but we don't, really.

I agree with the mods here, that person sounds like a toxic sexist pos
