Do people really get into fights with mods here?

[–] Custoslibera 58 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It’s inevitable whenever there are mods. Sometimes people just clash but in my experience I always just remind myself ‘who are the types of people who would voluntarily want to be a mod?’ and then I go outside and speak with actual humans.

well the basis of arguing on the internet is thinking of mean things to type on a keyboard

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 3 points 11 months ago

Unless you’re full of shit because then you become an asshole.

But dicks also fuck assholes.

I did on reddit, but that's because reddit mods are power-hungry shitstains who will argue that your comment is aimed at the lgbt community, until you direct them to the fact that you are part of the lgbt community, and then suddenly they change their narrative and it's not, it's just aimed at women, when I point out that the comment was about my negative experiences with a childhood male 'doctor', and then it becomes "I'm not going to argue anymore [because I've run out of bullshit reasons to veil the fact that I support this kind of abuse of power as I draw parallels from my mod experience and your pain being valid hurts my microscopic pp and massive ego]"

I've had a few run-ins but that was one specifically was fucking wild. Give people a bit of fake power and they lose their fucking minds.

Everyone here has been pretty cool, no drama.

The mods on /c/worldnews actively put a thumb on the scale when it comes to subjects like the Israeli-Palstinian conflict. If you don't follow the party line, your comment is subject to removal. That "No hate speech, bigotry, propaganda, etc" rule does a lot of work. It's not worth getting in a fight over, but I was a little sore that my comment about taking Hamas' casualty statistics with a grain of salt would be prudent was deleted, while downright hateful comments towards Israel were left standing.

It's sad to hear. I believe that healthy discussion should always be welcomed even if you disagree. And hateful things should always be discouraged.

The .world admins have always been corrupt and they're doing it on purpose to ensure the internet remains censored and that Americans never have a free place to converse about what they need to converse about.
