Hey folks!

This is a quick notice about a change to our moderation policy.

We have had a policy on lemm.ee for administration and federation nearly since the very beginning. This policy has also always included a section about moderator responsibilities. Today, we have made two changes to this policy:

The policy has been renamed to Policy for administration, moderation, federation - this is to make it clear that the policy is also relevant for mods
We have introduced a new responsibility for moderators, they must "Ensure that they only provide accurate and clear reasons for mod actions".

The reason for the addition is that mod log actions federate out to other instances, and are more or less permanent (due to how Lemmy and federation works right now). This means that users do not really currently have any easy way to clarify or defend themselves against inaccurate accusations in the mod log.

As always, I am very grateful to all mods for your efforts in building awesome communities on lemm.ee. I hope you can understand why this new policy is necessary - I do not want to make your lives more difficult, the goal is to just try and reduce any mod log related misunderstandings in the future.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

I'm not choosing to withold empathy from you, I am recognising the very real danger that your disability poses to myself, the fact that I am acknowledging it is a disability is proof that I am cautiously showing you empathy. What I am saying though is that the instant you stop showing me empathy is the instant I shut off empathy for you, the difference (or similarity depending on how you look at it) is that it takes similar amounts of work and intention from me to shut off empathy, as it would take for you to turn on empathy. Neurotyps are only ever going to think about narcissism enough to cut empathy off to you if you've TOLD them you are a narcissist, or you have shown them so through your actions.

Using my sense of affective empathy, I see that you're scared of me because I'm disabled. Using my sense of cognitive empathy, I make an educated guess that you've accepted a bunch of stereotypes about disabled people as true without seriously checking them. Putting myself in your shoes, I can only imagine I would take such a confrontational stance with someone just for how they were born, if I was scared absolutely shitless. Drawing on my own experience as a person living with NPD, and factoring in your lack of experience, I don't believe at all what you're saying about neurotypicals having empathy for people with NPD by default and making a conscious choice to turn it off. I've been in thousands of situations where a neurotypical interacted with a person living with NPD, involving thousands of neurotypicals. I only know of one time you've been in such a situation.

So heres the thing, you're twisting the narrative. You're trying to be the victim here. I'm not saying you are dangerous because you're disabled, you are PROVING you are dangerous by manipulating the conversation to look like you are being victimized. Anyone who's been around the block can spot that kind of manipulation from a mile away and will start avoiding interacting with you as much as possible as soon as they see that because it has the power to seriously fuck up social circles. You need professional help because anyone who ISNT a professional does not have the time or knowledge to interact with you without the risk of fucking up their lives because they got on your bad side. If you want to be accepted more or interact with anyone who isnt young and nieve, you need to stop with the victim complex. I'm not terrified of you, I was giving you some feedback before I inevitably block you and move on with my life because the only way a narcissist can improve their position is if they want to, and the unfortunate thing about that disability is it makes them not really care to. Anyways, I'm officially out because I'm not down with narrative manipulation. I wish you a good life as long as you dont let your disability fuck up numerous other peoples lives
