Jordanlund removed a post in [email protected] because I, not even the post author, disagreed with his view of how moderation should work.

For extra pettiness, he removed my comments before removing the whole post.

    Well that’s fun that it’s now considered attacking when questioning mod decisions on world. Then again they’ve always been incredibly aggressive that way in their news comm when people don’t go along with their odd decisions

      Yeah, I’m amused jordanlund posted the modlog, as that does not make him look better. I raised the issue with another mod and they called my criticism “belligerent”, which is a wild label to apply to those two comments. There was no response to moderating for “spite”. Apparently he just couldn’t help himself after such withering belligerence.

          My experience is similar to LibertyLizard. A lot of the time they’re just doing regular mod stuff, but every once in a while they go Cartman and just escalate every minor little critique. This is definitely not the first time I’ve noticed them going off the rails for seemingly minor criticism.

          The other mods should be reeling him in when this happens and ideally he should be the one calling them in. I’ve modded before, and we’d go to our fellow mods if we were getting heated. Easier to get the sanity check and if you’re in the right to have a third party step in to do the mod actions. I’m not sure how active they really are though. Since there’s no “message the mods” system I had to go down the mod list to find someone to lodge the complaint with. Only a few of them post to Lemmy regularly.

            Last time I looked at it the Lemmy world mods discord server was just a giant dick sucking contest where they just egg each other on with shit like this, I wouldn’t expect any of them to call each other out.

            When they have an issue with a specific user they will rally around the group to build dislike for that particular user posting screen shots and berating them between themselves.

            I haven’t been on there for 6 months + as I deleted my discord account but I doubt much has changed in that time.

              I was gobsmacked that “I’ll remove it to spite you” didn’t even warrant some bullshit like “we agree that that was an inappropriate thing for a mod to say”, even if they backed him on the strict no image posts stance. That’s really inexcusable, and the very core of the problem.

        “Now I’m removing it just to spite you.” is such a clear self-report of mens rea that it borders on satire. The question of whether or not there was a rule infraction to begin with is utterly moot after a statement like that.

        Why even try to rationalize it now? Go ahead and label your actions as PTB in this thread. At this point, it’s probably the most honest move you can make.

          They question ANYONES authority. PTB gonna PTB.

          OP had a chance to fix their post, they were told how to fix it, they did.

          Another user, unrelated to the discussion, wanted to get all pissy about it. Tough titty.

            how dare rhey question anyone’s authority

            You know, re-reading this, i really feel like its sucking up to the admins at .world because it knows it’s in troooooouuuuuuubbbbbblllleeee

            I say we should all start talking, on a lot of servers, about defederating from .world a lot more than we are. I

            Edit: if this charicature of a reddit mod (sans fedora; credit where due) is the kind of thing they have moderating their flagship communities, is federating with them really a net gain?

            You’ve got a funsamental misunderstanding there but you aren’t capable of food faith; only creepy low grade manipulative bullshit thay wears the skin of good faith like a mask and taunts its loved ones.

            So you aren’t worth correcting.

        Thats a lovely identity you claim, but show don’t tell.

        Oh shit. You can’t because you’re a frothing leaky asshole.

        You are the #1 case for defederating world.
