I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It’s just thinly veiled echo chambers that don’t want to admit what their community is about.

This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I’ve ever seen it lmao.

I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.

    Hey, I’ve edited the tone of the targeted communication. Does this fit your guidelines?

    I understand you have power over both communities and have personal beef, but would it be fair for me to ask a different moderator to input here?

    Can you remove yourself due to a conflict of interest?

    Can you make a post of the overall discourse that mods can be directed to instead of hashing it out in my thread? My post here is being derailed by personal attacks and you are choosing to kick me out.

    This is kind of my entire point about singled out harrasment by stalker mods.

    Thanks, you also have a good one.

      The edit is better.

      About the conflit of interest, feel free to ask input from another mod, but I noticed I’m usually quite lenient on this community (as you may have noticed, I usually ask people to edit their comments rather than remove / ban as you may experienced in other communities).

      Also, it’s Sunday, people have probably other stuff to do, so you probably won’t get an answer until tomorrow.

      I thought it was just a couple problematic mods, I didn’t realize yall were forming a mod clique in private dialogues baking this behavior into the community.

      There are only a few people keeping the whole thing running. Be it mods, regular posters, admins. I literally just stumbled upon Admiral Patrick in another community talking about the last X-Men show. It’s more of a small town environment where you stumble upon the same people everywhere rather than a cult with gurus.

      Which comes back to your point about harassment. In my case, I didn’t plan to encounter you on both of the communities I mod, but here we are. Would you have posted on !movies@lemmy.world or !moviesandtv@lemm.ee, it would have been a different story (and the mod team on !moviesandtv@lemm.ee isn’t really lenient. Trust my, I’m permanently banned there after I suggested changes to the community).

      So it’s more of a coincidence than harassment (at least in my case).
