Are we really bringing back the "Ban you for coughing" nonsense from Reddit?

There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and internet moderators being power tripping cucks.

finally a space to diss on jordanlund bless 😭

i was banned by this mod for politely noting how certain comments lead to escalation of inappropriate behavior. i noted how by bantering with infringing accounts after comment removal, [email protected] mods actually increased the work they needed to do to remove abusive content and amplified toxic voices as a whole. i used no unkind language and really at the time i genuinely hoped for improvement to the quality of the community.

their response?

• permabanned
• for “mod abuse”
• one month after i made the post in question

don’t use [email protected]. their entire mod team is dedicated to just kind of fucking around in a sandbox with thousands of users, not to creating a space for genuine constructive world news engagement. preferably also just stop using lemmy.world when possible.

Power tripping bastard for sure, banning someone for misspelling words? If anything that makes him look like a troll, not the OP.

Pallastinian:

Lemmy.World mods are extremely Zionist and frequently ban users for saying anything remotely pro Palestinian or making a claim about Israel without evidence.

Saying 20.000 killed Palestinians were Hamas without evidence to justify the genocide however, is totally fine.

A very open Zionist "gedeliyah" got promoted to mod on their news community.

It's a systematic problem. The large LW communities have a stranglehold that prevents new ones from taking hold.

For Lemmy to improve, there needs to be a very easy way to find new communities, particularly on different instances!

Currently there is no way to navigate communities on other instances without a direct keyword search, or by opening a private window to get the link directly from the other server as a logged off user. Clicking the 'Communities' link also needs to default to rising new communities, and not to existing communities.

There also needs to be a major change to the hot/active sorting algorithm to favor small communities with higher engagement % over large ones with higher net upvotes (lower engagement %). The top ten communities should be changing from month to month - otherwise large communities will only get further entrenched and moderation will only get worse.

This is a change that the devs would have to implement. Otherwise dbzer0 or lemmyzip or whatever other server that grows next will just eventually turn into LW and the same problem will repeat.

Does anyone know if these ideas have already been discussed in a closed pull request?

Because it's clearly normal for your typography and patience to improve when you're pissed off

Lemmy has become Reddit

wtf is it with lemmy world mods. you think this is reddit? do you want your instance to be an echo champer or want users to just leave and join another?

Jordanlund is almost as big a piece of shit as LyingSquid.

jordanlund's modding is very questionable.

does he know how to mod or he is just doing based on his feelz?

I was recently site wide banned for 30 days for something I said on LW so I blocked the entire instance. I wish this was just an LW issue but it feels like I have to walk carefully around glass. Ultimately what I said was wrong, but it's not a good look.

I feel the separation between staff and user has already been entrenched.

Looking at modlogs, at times the given reasons show to me at least that they, the mods, have grown tired and are now settling on getting rid of potential trouble rather than fixing it.

Experienced can also mean jaded and in that state of mind you no longer care about circumstances, you just want to get shit done so you'll be rid of another stress you don't want to deal with.

Mods also need a timeout. The volunteer excuse can only work for so long. A way has to be found to prevent them from feeling like they're in a deadend job where they're only greeted with hostility. We need a mod relaxation and decompression program.

Not surprised, Jordan is one of the fucking worst. If not number one at least number two worst mod on all of Lemmy.

I was banned from c/politics by that same mod because of bullshit reasons too. They're a petty tyrant who can't handle anything that might disrupt their echo chamber.
