[META] A word... (lemmy.sdf.org)

First of all, thank you for sending me the first reports I've ever received as a mod. Very exciting!

But listen.

I'm not a super serious guy. I let a lot slide. If you're posting in one of my communities, know that you have A LOT of leeway for fun and personal expression.

But one thing I won't tolerate is low effort trolling. I demand effort. If you're spinning a yarn or trying to misrepresent yourself, or the situation, I demand to be entertained by it.

That is all. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

Some guy I've never heard of who owns a federated universe server I've never heard of banned all 26 of his server's users from participating in the ongoing election because someone reported me to myse (lemmy.sdf.org)

Banned for "Genocide Denial" over at World News (lemmy.world)

You've got people like this moderator of World News and quite a few other communities issuing bans and removals for things like "Genocide Denial" on any comments that are somewhat moderate or centrist around the longstanding Israel/Palestine conflict. Absolutely sickening to me. There has been NO proven genocide. There are no facts to back that up. This is complete bias and suppression of freedom of speech.

This platform will never succeed if moderators with huge bias are with unchecked power. It's reputation is already in the gutter as an extreme radical leftist platform. And unfortunately, I see that is very true.

I'm banned from a server I've never heard of because someone I've never heard of reported me to myself for posting a picture of my own grocery store to my own subreddit. (lemmy.sdf.org)
