I think it’s important to make note of the fact that they were banned on Reddit for good reason
Reddit is an echo chamber. Being banned there is not indicative of anything.
Are most ignoring the numerous examples of Reddit subs users inferred “likely won’t be a big deal” becoming obviously problematic down the line, with the inevitable ban/quarantine occuring with most upset it wasn’t dealt with from the start?
You've just explained how Reddit became an echo chamber which is the same road lemmy.world is taking.
we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game
But we do know it improves sales, that's why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?
You're right, fixed.
I can see removed communities which, if I understand correctly, are the ones being deleted from the instance they are hosted in. But I know an admin can ban or block communities from other instances so they wont federate will be hidden from all users, e.g. admin from lemmy1.com banning lemmy2.com/c/foo.
Does the modlog show these actions?
edit: Admins can't defederate communities. They can remove them and that will hide them from all users.
My question now is how can I tell from the following line in the modlog as it appears in lemmy1.com if the community was removed from lemmy1.com or if it was removed from the hosting instance lemmy2.com?
admin Removed Community foo@lemmy2.com
This same logic could be used to argue that the government forced people to get the covid vaccine.
Did you read the article? The title of this post is false.
The article doesn't say that. The title is false.
That claim is not on the article. Did anybody read it?
Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That's why.
Reddit mods should be renamed spez's bitches.
I remember a similar case regarding Windows shipping with IE. Whatever happened with that?
Site policies can prevent that kind of behavior in that particular site. It's better than nothing.
I agree. One clear example is banning someone for participating on a community the mod doesn't like. Admins should learn from reddit's mistakes and limit what mods can and can't do.
But what’s the actual problem with the ability for posts to have negative scores?
It incentives self censorship that turns sites into echo chambers. e.g. Reddit
There's currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot to do the same. Maybe it's already a thing.
Do you have an example of a technology that is more efficient than human labor, doesn't have those side effects and was successfully held back just to keep jobs?
I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod
There's currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don't approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.
I agree, but there already is a karma system.
