ID: photo of two friends looking at a phone together, laughing, above is text: “Hitting “delete” after reading the first sentence of an entire essay that some bigoted potato took the time to write in my comments.”

cue other bigot that thinks that this makes it an echo chamber

They’re welcome to scream in to the void until they’re blue in the face, I won’t be listening 😂

(╭☞´ิ∀´ิ)╭☞

And you sound like a bigot who feels personally attacked and is getting defensive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

exercising freedom of association makes you lonely

~ insufferable nerds with whom nobody willingly associates, circa 2024

you must be a sexy AI lady

I’m so glad Voyager added user tagging so I can tag you as “concern troll”

“why don’t you respond to criticism”

depends, if you are banning me for using slurs I wouldn’t think you’re in an echo chamber, even if I was the biggest bigot on this planet, however, people on lemmy have banned me for stating my opinions like “I don’t want to live in an autocracy” or “kamala is still better than trump”

Let me guess, that autocracy is china?

usually russia, but china as well

also just for clarity: I’m an anarchist, I don’t like any state, so pointing out that the US isn’t better doesn’t help the discussion (sorry if you had to read this, I still got traumatized by the stupidity on grad)

On the only hand that matters - ableists get blocked and reported.

Found the bigoted potato

I had to look up what platform let’s you delete other people’s comments. Is this an Instagram joke?

Mod privilege is being able to erase bigots with a click of a button

Also why good moderation is so important

I agree, moderation is important.

How do we keep moderators accountable, so the system continues to function? Is there someone checking them?

The mod log is entirely visible for anyone to view. Anyone can see who we ban and why, comments we remove and why. Posts have been made in the past about mod action that were effective.

I don’t know, don’t think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me on reddit, when op deletes his post and I want to answer to a comment…

That’s fair!

I got excited for a minute and checked if we could do that on Lemmy lol

Yeah, that prospect would get me excited too lol

It wouldn’t be nice if everyone coule delete everyone’s comments and posts, but you can block someone which deletes them from your life and that’s about the same!
