Oh damn.
Mods, what’s up with that?
Does not compute, captain

The Sarah Silverman making out with Tim Russ post is the most on-brand post I’ve seen in Risa.

Right? I crave mid 90s star trek gossip.
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 10 months ago
If that’s Risa’s brand, then we might as well just shut down the entire community. Fucking jeepers, that’s dire.

With the first link the chain is forged…

Oh yes. On reddit that (shortened) quote was frequently employed by bigots complaining about mod “censorship” of their “opinions”.
I’ll leave it to your imagination what exactly those opinions were.

Here's hoping we see a response.
Stamets@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You will not. It is the reason I stopped posting to /c/Risa and set up my own community on lemmy.world. I went to talk to the admins and they didn’t give a shit either. Everyone is more than happy to allow the moderator of this community to run it however he sees fit. The problem is that his vision of “fit” is not much different than any basic reddit subreddit I’ve seen. Check his posting behavior. Dude actively insults people he’s talking to at every chance he gets, acts like he’s in total control of what Risa should be, and generally doesn’t seem like a nice person to be around. Combine that with the private messages I’ve gotten from him and the only conclusion I’ve been able to come to is that the lead mod of this community is abusing his position, does not believe in the basic tenents of both Lemmy and Star Trek, and will never change. The admins are also perfectly fine keeping this the status quo. The option that they floated when I brought it up was frankly offensive.
Now you know why I sprinted from this instance and this community.

Oh, Pumpkin, I’m a fucking delight.

You mean when you provoke someone into an argument in the comments, and then report them because they don’t immediately acquiesce, so I sent you a message to knock it off? If it had been anyone else other than the most prolific poster, I would have happily given you a time out.

And yet here you are, stirring the pot on a post more than a week old. Did you run out of other people’s memes to post?
flicker@kbin.social 10 months ago
I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, "What could run off Stamets," and that's exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.
Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I'm not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I don’t get the joke. Is this meta about some deleted posts?
negativenull@startrek.website 10 months ago
Yes, a mod removed a few posts for breaking rules, when there are no explicit rules.
uphillbothways@kbin.social 10 months ago
Checking the modlog and then the comment history of the mod responsible.... Just wow....
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 months ago
I saw a “not meme or shitpost” reason for removal and that’s kinda lame.
If you have rules, put them in the sidebar mods. 🤦♂️
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 10 months ago
When you go to someone’s house, do you shit on their floor if there isn’t a cross stitch hanging by the door that says “Please don’t shit on our floor.”
We shouldn’t need rules, because everyone here is an adult and the expectation is they will conduct themselves as such.
Beyond that it says right on the tin, “Star Trek memes and shitposts,” so if it’s not Star Trek related (and the bar for that is incredibly low) or it’s not a meme or shitpost, then there’s no reason for it to be here.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 months ago
It also says
And when this community first started getting traction, people asked for clarification and got told the same thing; there are no rules and that it didn’t even need to be a meme or shitpost.
The removals for bad behavior are one thing; but most of the removals in the modlog aren’t for that.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Well I personally shit on every floor I see
