  reason: Admitting to being a troll: “I’m an agent of chaos.”

  Absolutely the limpest reason to temp ban someone from a shitposting community. From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke, not an actual admission of someone disrupting the community.

    What they said was “I’m a shitlord”

      1. Then the mods should be honest about why he’s being banned in the modlog.
      2. Him (charitably) being an overzealous meanie in defense of a brand of feminism does not make him a shitlord.
      3. Sometimes people need to be dunked on for both their own good and the good of the community, obviously myself included. A perfectly appropriate venue for some gentle dunking is a shitposting community.

      It’s a shame that the thread got locked. It was getting heated, but IMO that’s a good sign that what you’re talking about actually needs to be debated.

    And this is why Lemmy sucks.

    Mods have a stick up their asses even further than Reddit mods do.

    The apply rules in a petty zero-tolerance way.

      It’s just public, unlike reddit. There have been countless controversies over poor moderation on reddit. On lemmy everyone can see when someone is banned for bullshit reasons and call it out. Don’t mistake awareness for frequency

      Okay but you can always make your own shitposting community on your own instance with your own rules if you feel so strongly against the rules. That option simply was not available on R*ddit. The point of Lemmy isn’t that no one abuses their mod and admin powers ever, but that the system is set up so that you can just go to another Lemmy server, which simply was not available on R*ddit if you pissed off the site admins.

      Although I personally find Lemmy users nicer and moderation better on average, their character is not the point. It is merely the result of an imperfect but better system than R*ddit.

      Agreed. I think moderating comments needs to be banished. The community can self-moderate with voting.

      Banning users is pointless. Accounts can be created very easily. With decentralized one doesn’t even need to go to the lengths one does with Reddit.

      Moderating should be reserved for keeping a sub’s posts relevant to the group’s purpose and nothing else.

      Have you ever modded any community? I’m not perfect, I’m a human being with a life and other responsibilities.

      We’re just trying to keep this place civil enough so everyone can enjoy it. Sometimes that means taking action against people detracting from that.

    Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.

    The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.

  Mods be going hard lately. It’s not really good. You have mods in .ml that will ban you for not liking your opinion. You have mods that will ban you if you call out an obvious troll/bot and tell you to let them know and they’ll take care of it, BUT they ban you for reporting a troll/bot.

  They need to make it where we can see what mod is removing comments and banning people. Right now you can see what actions were taken but you have no idea who did it. It’s pretty clear there are some bad actors out there and they’re really making this platform less appealing by the day. When you let trolls run wild and ban the humans because they’re calling out bullshit… you have a problem.

  • PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    In Internet culture, shitposting or trashposting is the act of using an online forum or social media page to post content that is of “aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality”.

    Imagine not being allowed to do any trolling in a shitposting community.

    Tap for subtlety

    There are obviously types of trolling that intentionally disrupt the entire community, but this was nowhere near that.

I am trained in sewage warfare and I’m the top shitter in the entire US Sewage System. You are nothing to me but just another target.

      I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can shit in over seven ways, and that’s just with my bare butt with my hands and feet planted.

      Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed shitting, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Sewage Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable shit stain off the face of the side of the toilet.

      If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn dolt. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

      You’re a dead man walking, and I’m the one holding the trigger. You can’t hide, you can’t run, and you can’t escape. I’ll find you, and I’ll make you wish you were never born. You’re a pathetic little worm, and I’m part of the Sewage Aligators, and I’ll crush you like the insignificant insect you are.

  While shit is a renewable resource, only so much shit can exist at any one time.

  It’d be nice to have some kind of recourse of a mod gets out of hand and wrecks a community.

  Like a way to either vote out mods (dangerous in case of bot voting), or to fork communities such that community members are made aware of the forking (potential spam/troll vector), or something like that.

  Idk if that’s needed here, but just in general.

  source

  • roguetrick@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Not needed. Admins create their own policy on removing mods and purging communities. Everything else you vote with your feet.

    Squid isn’t as awful as people play like he is, but he’s a provocative troll himself half the time and if he used the metric he used to ban this guy he’d have to ban himself.

    source

    • PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The voting with your feet only works if people know they’re is another (viable) option, which is what I was getting at with the forking idea.

      Idk much about the mod or really the op in the referenced post, I was taking more generally; I’ve seen a few small communities turn into little fiefdoms.

  That thread was definitely getting toxic af, specifically the troll that posted. I agree with ya’ll saying it makes sense to encourage discussion, esp on topics that’re controversial, but like go read some of that OP’s comments on that thread! They were being shitty to people just to be shitty - I think the mod made the right call for sure.

  Even if the mod were off base, no excuse to treat 'em like shit!
