Yeah I saw you guys arguing in the other post. Regardless of who was in the wrong in that argument, threatening mod action on someone you disagree with is such a Reddit move - I'm pretty sure a lot of people came here to escape that kind of bullshit power trip.
Why are the juicy drama threads always deleted by the time I see references to them?
I didn't see it, but I agree. The job of a mod is to enforce the rules of the community. Rules should be well thought out and boundaries distinct. For instance, no porn. Any rules without well defined boundaries are difficult to enforce and lead to power trips. Ideally, nebulous rules would require mod consensus, if these types of rules must exist to begin with.
E: lawl, looks like the mods read this
This is why we should start moving the main communities like memes and world news off instances like lemmy.ml
As a discord admin\mod, I feel like they have way more power than they need.
I obviously can't access the post, but I read some of your comments, and I really wish I could. In your comments you make reasonable points, so I feel like your post probably runs in the same vein.
FTR I don't think you're a homophobe.
Thanks, that means a lot to me. I could have posted the whole comment chain, but am tired to discuss this. Also I didn't want to point fingers. If OP decided to delete the post they had their reasons, one might be probably the same reasons as I mentioned. But what really stuck was their reddit mod mentality. Again, I don't want to point fingers but generally point to this kind of bad mod behaviour nobody wants here.
