A individual user airing their personal biases and manipulating lemmy isn’t good for the community, regardless of how you feel about their target. This is a really bad thing ™
threelonmuskteers whats up with this? https://lemmy.world/post/35942590?scrollToComments=true
And before you say its not relevant, I question your presence on lemmy at all if this is how you participate. Especially as on this topic you go on about the “good for the community”.
Do you have an explanation for this behavior?on this topic you go on about the “good for the community”
Those are technically
@jet@hackertalks.com’s words, not mine, but I agree with them and thought it worth crossposting.Do you have an explanation for this behavior?
In one specific community, I’m experimenting with the moderation policy for niche communities, also described by
@jet@hackertalks.com. Feel free to have a read through; let me know if you have any further questions.Why are we necroing 5 month old posts to ask questions about a current post?

This is rather authoritarian…
Did you intent to reply to me or to the parent comment?
I intended to reply to you, I’m just godsmacked by the parent comment.
Potential issue raised by @[email protected] in [email protected].
It’s bad I have to ask this since I’ve been here almost 2 years BUUUUT
Is this something I do as an individual account or is this something that will be done by the shitjustworks admin?
Defederation is done at the instance level by an admin. I don’t think you need to take any action as an individual, unless it comes up as an issue to vote on in the [email protected].
Thank you!
This should be posted to the Agora, I think.
After some investigation, we have defederated from both instances. I created a post in the Agora community in case people want to discuss it further: https://sh.itjust.works/post/35952149
