Also outs your report publicly, nice !
In my experience, mods in general have gotten extremely bad. Lemmy, reddit, basically all social media is being moderated without the least amount of professionality, standard or competency.
The good thing is that on the fediverse, you can improve this situation. Either go to an instance that keeps a watchful eye on power tripping mods and ensure mods are fair, or start your own instance to become that.
you’ll still get filtered by those mods on other instances and the amount of visibility your comment has will go down. lemmy has already gotten fragmentation problems like this for similar reasons IMO
But if those mods are bad and your mods are good, then people will over time go to your instance instead. You can’t control visibility of your stuff on another instance. It wouldn’t be decentralized if you could. Other instances and users can always choose to block you or whatever.
What you call “fragmentation” is really just decentralization and it’s the whole point of the fediverse.
Then YOU should do it! They provide a free service that you use, yeah some mods suck ass, or most whatever, but they have to ACTUALLY monitor some times a bunch of instances. Idk if its still an issue but imagine all the child porn and other SUPER hateful shit that has to be deleted with haste.
I dont mind squid, yeah he kinda seems like a dick some times, but we benefit from them being constantly online. So yeah they might have been a dick, whats the next move? Try to remove them where some other dickwad will just take their place, could be better but for mods its always going to be worse when a new mod gets all power tripping on people.
That’s because professionality, standard and competency take time to foster and cost a lot to maintain.
Not the first time they’ve supported a spammer, and their post history is full of Hail Corporate bullshit.
With this person as a mod, the spam is coming from inside the house.
So the guy can be a complete dick the moment he feels like he’s being challenged, but it’s also silly to imply nude baby pictures are giving people ptsd or something.
You make it sound like it’s csam but they were talking about when parents show pictures of their kids in the bathtub.
You also seem to be implying in that thread that trauma is anytime something made someone feel bad… trauma is a real thing that is, while not fully understood, still quite well understood.
That might be part of the disconnect between you and he. You are using a word that has a proper definition, but thinking it means something else, and wondering why your ascribed meaning isn’t the one being conveyed.
Some people are scared of pickles, that doesn’t mean we need to cover them up at the store.
You are very much the exception to the rule here and your unique trauma doesn’t make talking about something that is normal behavior for the rest of the population somehow ban worthy.
It seems to me like you are overstepping here.
The called out mod specifically is the worst culprit. I guarantee if their mod privileges were revoked 85% of the bad rep .world gets would vanish.
Yeah, but I’m not convinced it’s anyone in particular to blame. I think it’s mostly because it’s the biggest instance. That’s just my take. I don’t necessarily think the folks you’re responding to would agree.
I think a lot of instances have a bad rep with users of at least one instance just because so many instances are ideologically similar.
I’m sure many people who are survivors of natural disasters like fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the like, as well as unnatural disasters like wars have lost their photos and indeed most of their childhood belongings.
That really doesn’t come accross in your favour… You might think it does because of how the votes look, but it’s because all the normal people left and only the weird people in your little bubble were left stomping on one normal guy with normal opinions for hours. The votes don’t mean you were right, just means you were the only ones left.
It does show that FlyingSquid doesn’t know to disengage fast when arguing with a dumbass - a skill that moderators should have IMO.
Even if most people do it (judging by your downvotes) I think showing someone’s pictures without their consent is not ok. At all. Even worse if the purpose is ‘torture’ and ‘embarrass’ them. I don’t care if it’s their kids, children are people and deserve to be respected as such, clothed or naked.
You should reach out to lemmy.world’s admins about the situation, explain the problem to them and they might be able to help with it. I’d recommend doing the same thing any time an issue comes up around this particular mod. Eventually they’ll get enough complaints and he’ll be given the boot from those communities by the administration.
This is an idea most people will agree with, but few if any will actually do.
Can we all actually do this? I don’t think they should be banned, but maybe ask that they shouldn’t be a mod.
FlyingSquid flaunts his mod powers and bans users which don’t submit to his Zionist world views by making shit up.
Lemmy.World is the most Reddit of Lemmies.
Lemmy.World is the most Reddit of Lemmies.
Well, among the ones that anyone federates with. exploding-heads is still way more reddit than world is.
*Was, they shut down a while back and largely moved to Nostr, but another instance, hilariouschaos, took their place, they’re not as aggressive as EH was but they still have many of the same users and ideals as EH did back then.
