A person calls someone by their username. Mod considers this a personal attack and removes the comment
The username can be seen at the very bottom of the screenshot
That's not even power tripping, that's pure stupidity
Not sure what to judge this one to be honest, but seems weird to remove a comment because someone uses another person's username
My understanding was that:
The comment called "dragonrider" "dragonfucker" as an insult.
I tried to politely ask the OP to remove that one word from an otherwise good comment while taking no mod actions.
After a day of no response (and other activity from OP), drag changed their name to reflect the insult and poke at me for not taking real action against the personal attack.
I then removed the comment. Trying to ignore drag poking and treat them fairly where it was warranted.
My understanding was wrong. (According to users who I'm inclined to believe.)
Impossible to say. I have no idea who changed what to match what. Here's the context, you can see it doesn't help: https://lemm.ee/comment/16738479
There is nothing wrong with being a dragonfucker. Anyone who perceives that as an insult and not a badge of honor needs help. u.u
This isn't even that kind of community, it's the announcements community for the whole instance.
I'm on the Community Team for LW. A large part of my effort (in particular) has been to actively recruit mods who haven't asked for the position.
One reason is exactly what you just said. Those most inclined to rule are generally least suited. (Thanks, Douglas Adams.)
Another is that I've actively tried to avoid the Reddit supermod situation, where ten people share moderation of every important Reddit sub. You'll notice that we generally have a different set of moderators for each of our largest subs. (Admins don't count because they don't/can't really mod. Admins see reports for the whole instance.)
That, of course, has caused other issues. One is that our communities tend to be less consistent than subreddits. You can view this as a good or bad thing, but we're generally judged as an instance by the most egregious actions of the most egregious community. And we're all new to this and learning.
Admins/Community Team also are walking a fine line. It's natural when you're drafted/appointed as a mod to want to do your job. I've been regularly advising mods to take a lighter hand in moderation, but we're also trying to avoid watching over every decision they make. They have some leeway in what they do.
folks should leave lemmy.world
They trippin harder and harder each day
CLM, this mod probably had no idea that this was their username. Likely why they immediately reversed their action and restored the comment after realizing their mistake.
They restored it after people called them out when those people saw this post
Comm validation!
clearly CLM
That’s a funny one 😆
Yeap....
He has to be the most downvoted person on all of Lemmy.
Indeed it is, they were banned from this instance for trolling and harassment, and were also permabanned from pawb.social for the same reason. They literally incited harassment towards me, made an alt and posted insanely disgusting content in a community with the purpose to defame me. Even sent me porn in my DMs, utterly disgusting piece of shit.
This is one of the people who needs to be banned everywhere (homeserver ban) sooner rather than later.
Really dude?
Really what?
I think Dragon Rider is the drag person. Dragonfucker is someone else.
Nope. Dragon Rider is Dragonfucker's display name. Just like how my displayname is "Norah - She/They" but my username is "princessnorah"
dragonfuckeranddragon "rider"are the same person. Dragonfucker is the username, which can't be changed. Dragon "rider" is their display name.
