We're in the part of the fediverse where they have no power here. Well, they do, if they make their own instance and shamefully there are power-tripping people in those instances that are presumably from moderators like these on Reddit. So, yeah I do believe it hits home when they carry that behavior over.
The word "chud" is an enormous red flag that someone is a radical who has a highly explosive anger disorder that is on a hair trigger.
In my experience they are always one step away from leaping over the table to kick someone on the face then walk away like they have heaven on their side.
Had a mod tell me today reflecting on history in a balanced way wasn’t realistic…aka let’s discuss WWII, but keep it light and positive. This was on Lemmy.
Is it always the same kind of unaware turds that take up the moderator mantle?
Edit: Mod has been following my account and banned me for commenting in this sub. There’s a confident and capable adult. 🙄 Oh, u/Fishshake maybe one day you can forgive me.
Your post has been removed because your account is too new. We won't ever say as to what age it needs to be to have a post register, so we'll keep it all vague! thumbs up
I kind of want to create a joke/satire community where there’s like 10000 oddly specific rules and they’re all enforced by post deletion, so you have to worm your way through them to post anything
Do it…don’t delete the posts, just threaten them with deletion unless they abide by arbitrary rules, “sorry but your compound adjective is missing a hyphen and this community has standards, sir!”
Petty tyrants whose real life is so sad and irrelevant that they abuse the tiny bit of power they have in order to feel important. In the process, they make the decent mods look like pricks by association.
Where’s the part where they misread your comment to give them an excuse to ban you?
…seriously, good mods don’t last long in Reddit. The whole system seems tailored to give power to power-tripping irrationals with too much free time. And what worries me is that, in large part, Lemmy moderation has a similar structure. (I’m not sure on Kbin moderation because I’m not a janny there.)
Yeah, that's what stunned me over at lemmy.world and lead me to leave Lemmy altogether. There was a mod, who got mad and gave me a one-warning before ban over a light issue because of an instigating gas-lighting troll troubling everyone. Like, that certainly escalated out of no where.
I don't have time for that shit. I don't like seeing it in the Fediverse.
I do not know if this is just my faulty random sampling, but. While there are plenty great posters in both lemmy.world and lemm.ee, I’ve been noticing that most Reddit-like posters (showing the same sort of stupidity as the one that you’re describing) are from those two instances. And well, I do predict that some of them became moderators.
If that is correct, it’s likely because those are rather large and free-for-all instances - they got so many people at once that they were unable to properly integrate and civilise/de-reddit-ise/rationalise them. That’s an additional problem, and it might actually get worse over time because the mod hierarchy blues is likely to hit harder after ~a year.
(I don’t have the same experience as you in Lemmy. But I’m from lemmy.ml; the admins here restricted comm creation and subscriptions, to encourage people to spread out. In the process I think that we users have dodged a bullet from this instance.)
I was asked to help mod a new community, and things were going pretty well for a year or so, but then the sub owner and the other mods gradually disappeared until it was just me and another guy left.
Well, turns out they were moderating/owning 30+ subs on average. We both quit that day.
I just can't understand what kind of ego boost they get out of being useless cunts in 30 places. How can such little power be so tantalizing to some people?
At least they received an email. I had a post removed from one subreddit without notification, and only because it poked a little fun at the subreddit's topic. Overall it was positive, but for one moderator, I assume it got under their skin.
Don't know how many other posts may have been treated the same. Don't seem to get that here though.
I think the perfect moderator template is that idiot that ousted themselves in that Fox interview. The former moderator of antiwork that was whining about wanting to work free and whatnot.
