Mods be going hard lately. It's not really good. You have mods in .ml that will ban you for not liking your opinion. You have mods that will ban you if you call out an obvious troll/bot and tell you to let them know and they'll take care of it, BUT they ban you for reporting a troll/bot.
They need to make it where we can see what mod is removing comments and banning people. Right now you can see what actions were taken but you have no idea who did it. It's pretty clear there are some bad actors out there and they're really making this platform less appealing by the day. When you let trolls run wild and ban the humans because they're calling out bullshit....... you have a problem.

I was wondering where that post went, shame on the mods.
How am I supposed to furiously mastrubate to dramatic comments now? This is basically kink shaming.
/s means sarcasm right? Should this be sarcasm? Or was the sarcasm the friends we made along the way?

/s means sex

I'm happy and having lots of sex /s

Can't wait to wet my willy. /s

Hey kings, queens, and inbetweens, don't you ever, and I mean EVER, shitpost in my Christian shitposting community
-
I think the main reason they should be banned is because their posts are mid

I was going to say, we need a new community /c/midposting but we don't, really.

I agree with the mods here, that person sounds like a toxic sexist pos

Free Track Shovel! We all do a lil trolling

In Internet culture, shitposting or trashposting is the act of using an online forum or social media page to post content that is of "aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality".
Imagine not being allowed to do any trolling in a shitposting community.

Lemmy clients need to make it easier to find the mod logs for communities and specific mods.

Yeah idk people kinda get mad when you shitpost in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

What's going on exactly, a user is a agent of chaos but (shrugs)

I'm an agent of shit. I'm the shitnami that'll wash away your little shithuts from the shitbeach.

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my shit class in the Shitting Acadamey, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Public Toliets, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in sewage warfare and I’m the top shitter in the entire US Sewage System. You are nothing to me but just another target.
I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can shit in over seven ways, and that’s just with my bare butt with my hands and feet planted.
Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed shitting, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Sewage Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable shit stain off the face of the side of the toilet.
If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn dolt. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.
You’re a dead man walking, and I’m the one holding the trigger. You can’t hide, you can’t run, and you can’t escape. I’ll find you, and I’ll make you wish you were never born. You’re a pathetic little worm, and I’m part of the Sewage Aligators, and I’ll crush you like the insignificant insect you are.
You’re Fucking Dead, Kiddo
Hard /s

Will you wash away the shit apples from the shit tree?

While shit is a renewable resource, only so much shit can exist at any one time.
Shitpost mods need to walk a fine line of laxitives, costives, gas station sushi, big mac meals, and dilators. Sometimes they get it wrong.

To be fair it was getting pretty toxic... But then again I'm ok with that.

Some sort of shitpostception, gears within gears, and at the center of it all, somehow, Palpatine has returned.

Jeez man, people got some PTSD about reddit power mods or something?? Why ya'll gotta be so shitty to the mods??
That thread was definitely getting toxic af, specifically the troll that posted. I agree with ya'll saying it makes sense to encourage discussion, esp on topics that're controversial, but like go read some of that OP's comments on that thread! They were being shitty to people just to be shitty - I think the mod made the right call for sure.
Even if the mod were off base, no excuse to treat 'em like shit!

It'd be nice to have some kind of recourse of a mod gets out of hand and wrecks a community.
Like a way to either vote out mods (dangerous in case of bot voting), or to fork communities such that community members are made aware of the forking (potential spam/troll vector), or something like that.
Idk if that's needed here, but just in general.
-
Not needed. Admins create their own policy on removing mods and purging communities. Everything else you vote with your feet.
Squid isn't as awful as people play like he is, but he's a provocative troll himself half the time and if he used the metric he used to ban this guy he'd have to ban himself.
-
The voting with your feet only works if people know there is another (viable) option, which is what I was getting at with the forking idea.
Idk much about the mod or really the op in the referenced post, I was taking more generally; I've seen a few small communities turn into little fiefdoms.
-
he's a mall cop still bitter about failing out of the police academy.
I tangled with him once, he's response when I said he was being pendentic about something, was "don't you see I'm a mod?"
That tells you everything you need to know about him.

If you're too good at your job it makes everyone else look bad.

Was it the Solarpunk community who did it? That place was fucking swarming with fascists the other day.

No just one user lol

I see the mod log is in the description, this community was the one who temp banned a guy.

Absolutely the limpest reason to temp ban someone from a shitposting community. From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke, not an actual admission of someone trying to disrupt the community.
What they said was "I'm a shitlord", and they did attack people in the comments who disagreed with them in an exceptionally trollish way.
It's a shame that the thread got locked. It was getting heated, but IMO that's a good sign that what you're talking about actually needs to be debated.
That's pretty funny actually.
Ah so that's the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.
The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.
And yes, out of context I thought it was a bit extreme. I don't necessarily agree with what the first person in the image said although that's a complex topic that deserves a much lengthier discussion, but just randomly having someone tell them that they're a creep who deserves to be tased is fairly extreme without any additional context. Keep in mind, I have no idea who the individual is or what they've done.
Mods being toxic? Some things never change.
Show me a good mod and I'll show you an honest politician.
Have you ever modded any community? I'm not perfect, I'm a human being with a life and other responsibilities.
We're just trying to keep this place civil enough so everyone can enjoy it. Sometimes that means taking action against people detracting from that.
The fuckin essays that generated. Jesus christ. We're failures as shitposters when a shitpost generates that much drama.
Hard disagree lol, I love when a shitpost actually gets people to debate about important things. So many people would just never think about that stuff otherwise.
And this is why Lemmy sucks.
Mods have a stick up their asses even further than Reddit mods do.
The apply rules in a petty zero-tolerance way.
It's just public, unlike reddit. There have been countless controversies over poor moderation on reddit. On lemmy everyone can see when someone is banned for bullshit reasons and call it out. Don't mistake awareness for frequency
Okay but you can always make your own shitposting community on your own instance with your own rules if you feel so strongly against the rules. That option simply was not available on Rddit. The point of Lemmy isn't that no one abuses their mod and admin powers ever, but that the system is set up so that you can just go to another Lemmy server, which simply was not available on Rddit if you pissed off the site admins.
Although I personally find Lemmy users nicer and moderation better on average, their character is not the point. It is merely the result of an imperfect but better system than Rddit.
Agreed. I think moderating comments needs to be banished. The community can self-moderate with voting.
Banning users is pointless. Accounts can be created very easily. With decentralized one doesn't even need to go to the lengths one does with Reddit.
Moderating should be reserved for keeping a sub's posts relevant to the group's purpose and nothing else.
