Due to the recent ban of a wolfballs.com-user for "Bigotry and racism on his main account on Wolfball." it is requested that Lemmy.ml updates the Code of Conduct to reflect actual moderation. Please consider adding that Lemmy.ml will ban users for comments made with other accounts on other instances.

Are you using your staff position to enforce personal opinions/preferences, or are you taking the role of a moderator enforcing site rules?

The latter. I thought the rules were such that they should be banned. How I want the instance to be moderated (i.e. rule changes) is another question and something I'll take up with the other admins.

I think it could be an opportunity to clarify some of the rules. I've made a post on /c/meta about clarification of the term 'leftist' for example, because the vagueness can easily lead to reasonable, avoidable conflict.

I agree that "leftist" is too vague, but I also havent heard any better idea how this instance could be described.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Well, how do the admins here define 'leftist'?

That's actually a major part of my post. We can't recommend a better idea without knowing your own definition because 'leftist' is just so ambiguous. That's why it's a problem. If I know how you define it, I can suggest a few alternatives.
