wow, what a shitty system.

My poor computer, I’ve gotta try this

Basically me during the pandemic lol

Just gonna lock this post for now, don't want to start some kind of fight in a community that is not meant for stuff like that.

If anyone has anything to add to this, you can contact me or mail us at info@lemmy.world. Thank you.

I can't really say much more then that I disagree with your assessment that our rules are to lax. We do our best to balance giving communities the possibility to regulate themselves, and the need to regulate stuff on an instance level. The nice thing about lemmy is that if you don't like the way we do stuff, you can always move to another community or even instance, in that way alone it's better here than on reddit (just to make sure I'm understood correctly, that doesn't mean we don't want you to be here).

Yea... though please don't do that again. I will not remove this post (the local mods might) because it got so much traction, but next time I will.

I see. Well two remarks about that:

one his own users accept given that’s apparently what people were reporting others for

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.

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?

Which particular comments are you talking about? I thought the discussion was about bad faith arguments, not lack of respect?

The worse the pun the better the comic.

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?

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.

Just chiming in here: there are at the moment some problems with federation. I’m an admin on LW, and generally we remove spam pretty quickly but it currently doesn’t federate quickly. We are working on solutions that temporarily fix it till the lemmy devs themselves fix it.

As mentioned before there is indeed an API. Please keep in mind that some instances have rules on how to run a bot. On lemmy.world for instance you need express permission from the mods of the community you are using the bot in, you should obviously mark the bot account as a bot account and the name should make it clear that it is in fact a bot.

We’re having discussions like these constantly, so we don’t want to flood the community with polls.

This does seem like a big enough issue tho so I will propose to indeed make some post asking for input.

I don’t have a pro-IDF stance? I don’t know how you got that idea.

I will forward it to the modding team (:

This is pretty much whataboutism, so I don’t think it’s very productive to go into that.

As mentioned we are working on setting clearer rules to make sure we get a more standardized response to opinion pieces.

Just to defend the modding team, the post wasn't removed for the subject, but because it could be considered an opinion article. Not all mods agree on this point, and we are having a discussion on what should fall under rule 6. If you disagree with other posts, you should report it.
