  • I'd be willing to moderate. I am currently a moderator of !news@lemmy.world, as well as 2 other smaller communities.

    I'd like to see this community work as intended. Unpopular opinions that are valid are liked more, while common/popular opinions aren't. This will hopefully generate more discourse. Rules would mostly stay the same, with the expansion of rule 1 to include rule 1 that we have in !news@lemmy.world, as well as adding "no self-promotion" to rule 3.

  • !news@lemmy.world rule 1 is as follows:

    Be civil: Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

    I'm the one that banned you, after numerous complaints about a large amount of your comments were in violation of this rule for multiple reasons.

  • OK. You're both behaving like kids. Stop it, please, or I will be forced to enforce the rules on this whole flame war, which will result in 3 day bans for both of you. I really don't want that.

    FYI: when you both go this far down the rabbit hole, you both lost.

  • Most times, precedent is set by what the court decides NOT to review. When they say nothing, they are saying "the lower court has it right". This is standard practice.

  • There's zero tradition for a former president being indicted numerous times for almost a hundred crimes. There's no measuring stick for this.

  • You are correct. Mr. Smith's team requested that the SCOTUS review this months ago. Long before it was brought to them by Trump's team, as a way to expedite the process, and stop the "play out the clock" approach they take.

  • Pretty sure they were trying to melt it down to a "non-statue" shape

  • Much appreciated. The mods here at !news@lemmy.world prefer civil discourse. If we see someone not displaying civility (attacking the person, not the argument), trolling, being racist, sexist, or being a bigot, we will remove a comment.

    We try not to let our views skew our moderation, and will reverse removals if we feel we or other mods were acting heavy-handed.

    With that said, we appreciate admins of other members of the Lemmy federation stepping in to police users of their instance.

    With that said, yes, we have received other complaints about this user, but did not find all the complaints warranted. Some were, and we handled those comments as they were brought to our attention.

    We may not agree with all the comments here, but if they follow our rules, they stay.

  • Both of you need to stop this childish bickering. If you cannot, you will receive a vacation from !news

    Leaving comments up because the thread is so long, removing them all would take too long, and none are bad enough to warrant it.

  • Comments in this post are going off the rails. If we receive any more reports on comments here, we will be locking this post.

  • Could you tell me the post you're referencing? I would like to investigate this further for you.

  • I will be responding to you both, and ask very nicely that you shut this argument down. Moderators don't want to play man in the middle, and you're both using the reporting feature to try to win this argument. This stops now, or you both get a week vacation from !news.

  • Sadly, I have one game that will not work in Linux. I have thousands of hours in it, and I truly love it.

    Rust

    Also, apparently I'm a masochist

  • I wasn't arguing with you about what they say NOW. I was pointing you to what they literally said THEN.

    You said "a well regulated militia didn't mean the same thing back then"

    I merely pointed you to the founders own words to show you that you were wrong.

    It wasn't an amendment. It was baked into the first article.

    You pointing out the RECENT supreme court ruling was a bad faith argument against my rebuttal.
