news: .world world news mod removed from world news
I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:
Content Warning
Graphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.
While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.
Looked up the modlogs. What the actual fuck.
That said, this whole episode and the comment deletions with the "we can't share this" reasons kinda show how Lemmy is better than Reddit in that modlogs are public.
I find it great that mods can't outright delete stuff, only hide it. It lets them do the job of cleaning up convos of spam and trolls without the unchecked power aspect to it.
Both of them are fucking insane. To devote this much energy to weirdos on the internet is deranged. They both need to devote their energy to better things, as evidenced by the fact that I had to press "show context" on their comment thread so many times I lost patience. I thought everyone on Lemmy was better than this. I dont care what the original cause of the disagreement was at this rate because EVERY step of the way, one of them couldve turned on do not disturb or gone to an alt account or SOMETHING. If either of you are seeing this, you can do better. Flying Squid specifically? Threatening suicide is the number one way to look immature (of every kind), especially over a stranger on the internet. Do. Better.
Edit: If someone could give a kind description of what the drama was even all about, I'd appreciate it. I can't bear to dig through either of their histories.
And the sick thing is we have been CALLING THIS GUY OUT FOREVER. The .world admins are ABSOLUTELY partially at fault for this for letting this user have the power they have had for so fucking long. Sorry for shouting I’m upsetti. 🙃
+1 to your edit though. The content was so vile and triggering, I was not up to the task. So, fair warning to anyone who wants to further investigate a case where every party is so obviously in the wrong. Tread carefully.
I'm not celebrating, the guy is threatening suicide, and posting pictures of it. He needs to get off the Internet and seek help immediately.
I've messaged @lwreport@lemmy.world about it, I suggest you all do the same.
**Yes (Content Warning)**
Unfortunately, this type of behavior, including threats of self-harm, is not uncommon on the internet and can sometimes be used as an emotional manipulation tactic. However, discussions of suicidal ideation are very sensitive and can be harmful if not handled carefully. Let’s focus on reporting this to the moderators while remaining careful and sensitive in how we address this topic.
If this post was about Flying Squid banning you then I'd get the relevance to this community. Otherwise it's just drama imo.
There are enough posts complaining about FlyingSquid moderation here for this one to be relevant
Edit: actually, couldn't find any actual report about power tripping from FlyingSquid, so if anyone has anything, feel free to share
What is the point of this post, when there's no actual details as to what was posted? The key images seem to have been deleted off server, and without that it's extremely difficult to pick up the context.
The modlog shows the conversation. The person in question seems to have a breakdown and offers to commit suicide on stream for someone who they claim want them dead.
Because of the content of the offending material it’s really hard to put the full info in a post without breaking terms of service. You are welcome to make your own post if you feel you can do better! :)
No, I have no idea what the context is. Hence my comment, because this is all drama without any info.
why is it not there anymore?
If this was in the thread about unsettling facts he was explaining his pain condition which actually is referred to a suicide disease. Given the outrage some people have against him I imagine some people saw the opportunity to harass him about it.
Why don’t the Redditor stay there.
i’m saying like-
Fuck yeah 🤘
Okay I tried to go through the modlog and the comment screenshot that you censored is removed from the modlog?!? How the fuck in censorship that bad on this platform. I might as well use tiktok
