Do people really get into fights with mods here?
It’s inevitable whenever there are mods. Sometimes people just clash but in my experience I always just remind myself ‘who are the types of people who would voluntarily want to be a mod?’ and then I go outside and speak with actual humans.
This is so true 🤣 I love it
well the basis of arguing on the internet is thinking of mean things to type on a keyboard
there is nothing more pussy than hiding behind a keyboard to talk shit. i talk shit online too tho.

Dude, pussy is great so what the fuck are you on about?
but being one is bad, because it means dicks fuck you
Unless you’re full of shit because then you become an asshole.
But dicks also fuck assholes.
I did on reddit, but that's because reddit mods are power-hungry shitstains who will argue that your comment is aimed at the lgbt community, until you direct them to the fact that you are part of the lgbt community, and then suddenly they change their narrative and it's not, it's just aimed at women, when I point out that the comment was about my negative experiences with a childhood male 'doctor', and then it becomes "I'm not going to argue anymore [because I've run out of bullshit reasons to veil the fact that I support this kind of abuse of power as I draw parallels from my mod experience and your pain being valid hurts my microscopic pp and massive ego]"
I've had a few run-ins but that was one specifically was fucking wild. Give people a bit of fake power and they lose their fucking minds.
Everyone here has been pretty cool, no drama.
The mods on /c/worldnews actively put a thumb on the scale when it comes to subjects like the Israeli-Palstinian conflict. If you don't follow the party line, your comment is subject to removal. That "No hate speech, bigotry, propaganda, etc" rule does a lot of work. It's not worth getting in a fight over, but I was a little sore that my comment about taking Hamas' casualty statistics with a grain of salt would be prudent was deleted, while downright hateful comments towards Israel were left standing.
It's sad to hear. I believe that healthy discussion should always be welcomed even if you disagree. And hateful things should always be discouraged.
The .world admins have always been corrupt and they're doing it on purpose to ensure the internet remains censored and that Americans never have a free place to converse about what they need to converse about.
It's the !worldnews@lemmy.ml mods in this case.
Por que no los dos?
The way Lemmy mods hand out bans, not for fucking long.
People wag a finger at me for vulgarity and bluntness. But I've found zero safety in being polite, casual, and relaxed. Most recently, one joke about The Bee Movie in a silly playlist screenshot community ended two bewildered interactions later, with the mod instructing me to "die mad." To anyone innocent enough to insist this sort of thing can only happen if I'm underplaying some intolerable behavior on my part - I have abundant receipts. This has been a problem long enough (on the other site) that smoke without fire deserved documentation.
And the absolute worst spaces on modern social media are ones demanding "be nice" while doing nothing when some asshole spits the worst thing they can think of over nothing. I'm not about to be deeply offended by some childmove like opining about my family because I didn't find an argument compelling. But I cannot fucking stand being held from so much as literally replying "yo mama," for fear of punishment from some I-don't-care-who-started-it troll-enabling goody-two-shoes, only to find out reports went fucking nowhere.
Mods! If I'm not allowed to call someone a bastard - YOU had goddamn well better get rid of those bastards. Enforce the rule or throw it out!
