Let’s welcome the new moderators of c/politics.
Did you even look at their post histories or just add the first people to volunteer?
One of them is running around this sub right now arguing for the dismantling of public education because they didn’t enjoy highschool
Edit:
The top mod started pming me…
Apparently he just accepted the only people who said they wouldn’t remove disinformation because that would primarily effect “the right”
Only two did and we chose them, wish we had more not trying to censor the right since some were saying “I’ll remove disinformation and etc.” Which violates one of our policy in giving the right a voice since look disinformation may be bad, but removing them is censorship and our goal is not to reform that echo chamber that was r/politics

This community is fucked.
No one is going to become a mod here unless they agree to let people spread propaganda…
20 years old, no job, far right and emotional unstable. I think we got the perfect candidate!
Although, I am curious what gave you that impression? Same with the emotionally unstable part.
I mean you have different opinions and thought processes then the mainstream man, it doesn’t need much more than that
“They’re not christofascists, they’re Christian moralists” ^^1 is a disturbingly far right position post Charlottesville, Dobbs, and all the state laws persecuting trans people that have been passed recently.
I will say, I haven’t seen a moderation level action yet that seems horribly wrong, but I feel like that’s only going to be a matter of time
^^1 Paraphrased, not a direct quote
e; I apparently can’t figure out superscript text

Yeah I guess. I’ve only been able to get internships- good internships. But I’ve never been able to get a real job
Maybe I misinterpreted that.
What’s with all the comments about closing public schools and calling clearly fascist movements as “christian moralists”.
No, it’s worse…
The top mode just pm’ed me saying he only accepted people who said they wouldn’t remove disinformation.
Because that would mean more conservative comments got removed, and apparently that’s biased and not what this sub is for.
Also, one thing that’s great about lemmy is the public modlog- I think its valuable for a community to be able see mod abuse and call it out.
Is there something glitchy going on or is this community’s modlog supposed to just say “mod” did everything?
Oh oops, I had assumed it showed individual mod names to non-mods as it does to mods. It’s interesting because the public api actually does say the mod names So, its either a bug in the web API or in the backend.

There’s a bit more to it than that, but yeah. The part you missed though is that I never advocated dismantling it- I advocated it being voluntary.
Oof. I’d consider turning down the mod offer and getting a little life experience first if I were you.
Here is the context.
If we go private schools I will fully be unable to afford to live with my family in this country. If I start seeing this pushed for I am burning down private schools in the dead of night. They want us broke and dead and to have no choice. Society is supposed to help people live easier. This is absolute bullshit and nefarious.
User adien: ‘Private in this context means charter, which is still state funded. Furthermore with more market share there would be enough demand for affordable private schools, as seen in India where government schools are infamous.’
Thanks for the report, and it doesn’t seem any noteworthy that would affect his status as moderator. If he does something like using his powers or status then I’ll take action against him.
Thanks for not answering my question:

While I’m not sure if you’re accurately portraying their position (i havent seen this myself), you have a point with this question that I’d also like an answer to.
Might be wise to add an age and education attainment requirement to be a moderator. I’m probably in the minority here but I appreciated the mods at r/politics. Mind you I’ve been temporarily-banned a few times from that sub, justifiably so (usually for stooping to the level of the uncivil). They were generally fair and didn’t seem to exploit their positions from what I experienced in ten years there.
So, I won’t admit to anyone else but aidan, but I looked at aidans and he seemed fine, while his opinion on schooling I may not agree with at all, doesn’t mean it should affect his status as to be moderator, as both of us agreed, he was part of our 2 pick we need.
this is going to be like reddit all over again
I wonder if that’s the idea.
Well this sub is fucked.
The new mod just defended Trump calling nazis “very fine people.”
A civility rule attached to a community that regards platforming fascist misinformation as an obligation just results in mods bending over backwards to make things comfortable for fascists. We’ve all seen this shit happen on reddit, and I for one don’t have the energy to participate in such a community here. I see no reason to provide content to help such a community flourish.
Any suggestions on another politics community that isn’t hell-bent on becoming r/anothernazibar?
Well I can say lemmy.ml and lemmygrad will never allow Nazis to proliferate on their instances, but people are convinced they’re “tankies”, so I guess the question is would you rather deal with communists or fascists?
After further questioning from the reporter, and responses from Trump about people who were at the Charlottesville rally to support keeping the Lee statue, the president said, “You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”
All those who marched in the rally marched in a nazi rally. If you march in a nazi rally in 2017, it’s because you’re a nazi.
Trump said the side that was all nazis included very fine people. This bit:
But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.
was a lie.
Welcome and good luck, I’m sure it’s bound to get rowdy around here.
Remember to wait 30 minutes after eating before moderating, otherwise you’ll get a cramp.
