Potatofish,

So random people can be mods? That’s bananas!

James_Jim_Jimmy,

Serious question - why is lemmy.ml / world news anti-semtic? your mods just banned a shitload of people who were not virulently anti-Israel and definitely not in violation of any rules. Is this a lemmy.ml problem or a community one? @dessalines

zerfuffle,

I too enjoy conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Both Jews and Palestinians are semites, dumbass.

James_Jim_Jimmy,

anti-Semitic, adj. Characterized by prejudice, hostility, or discrimination towards Jewish people on religious, cultural, or ethnic grounds; anti-Jewish

my poor spelling aside, you wanna argue w/OED, be my guest.

TheCaconym,

You’re not addressing their point. You’re the one that equated being virulently anti-israel with being “antisemitic” in your initial comment.

And frankly taking a look at the modlogs the removals I see seem all perfectly justified (mostly the spreading of actual lies, such as bullshit about decapitated babies).

I’m here if you need me

zephyreks,

Wondering if y’all are still looking for mods?

I posted in another comment my history of activity here (on my programming.dev account)

OurToothbrush,

I would love to help

dessalines,

Done, you’re modded!

rikudou,

Why the need for a local account? I find it a little ironic, given the fact you’ve created a software that allows the opposite.

dessalines,

In case there are any issues with federation or reports federating.

zephyreks,

I’m happy to move over from programming.dev to lemmy.ml

zephyreks,

Me, here!

zephyreks,

This is indeed me

dessalines,

Thx, got u modded 👍

dessalines,

Done, thx! Try to use temp bans of < a month, rather than permabans, where appropriate.

Hopefully the new mods will continue to be on board with “News from around the world” side bar mandate as opposed to imposing their vocal minority view of “news impacting the world”. There’d be way too much negativity otherwise, and way too hard keep my sanity in check.

I’m a known moderator of a news comm

dessalines,

You’d have to have an account here.

SheeEttin, (edited )

Sure, I’m in. I’ve noticed that irrelevant content has been posted and not removed, so that explains it.

Edit: never mind, this account is on lemmy.world. And lemmy.ml requires approval for new accounts, so it may be worth lifting that requirement.
