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 ™

    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?

      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?

      This is rather authoritarian…
