[Meta] Squirtle rule - The migration is over, right?
[Meta] Squirtle rule - The migration is over, right?
Seems like everything is set
- new community
- new mods
- activity on the community
How do people feel about getting [email protected] ? Mods over there don't really seem cooperative, but it's not like it matters that much now?
You're viewing a single thread.
yeh so far seems like we'll just coexist :3
I'll just vent here quickly because I don't want to create another post on [email protected], but still would like talk about it for a bit.
@[email protected] informed me that I've been banned from [email protected]: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=12093216
Seems like they considered this post (see below) harassment, but it took them a while, as I was still able to post there for a while after posting it: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/search?q=+&type=Comments&listingType=All&communityId=2942&creatorId=12093216&page=1&sort=New
I guess they just don't like criticism.
Still a bit surprised by one of the mods statements
You got everything you wanted.
Well, no, [email protected] still hasn't been transferred to [email protected] mod team. But as we stated in the post we're currently in, it doesn't matter that much.
Here is an updated (so hopefully harassment-free version of the post:)
Ping @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected], thank you for defending my perspective.
yeh I saw that, I dont think ur post was harassment but I do kinda get theyd feel that way with all the hate theyre getting XP I do feel like it was a bit too much posting that on their community, would have made more sense on this community but anyway I think we should stop talking about that now that it seems the drama has mostly ended :3
Seems reasonable, thanks đ
I absolutely knew this was coming. I held onto this comment exchange specifically because I knew they would drop the hammer-
How this is anything other than a threat, when said by someone with authority, I'll never know. As far as whether or not it's harassment, I can't see the one you did link, but if you called them a name, then that's definitely not okay. However, I will add that as a mod, if you get asked a question in public and don't reply to it, you can absolutely expect the commenter to keep asking it. That isn't harassment so much as it's expected human behavior.
Part of being a mod is agreeing to deal with even the most insistent, possibly annoying people. It's not against the rules to be insistent or annoying, so you really need either the patience of a school teacher, or the rigid clenched fist of an authoritarian. My go-to move was, anytime someone annoyed me in such a way that I felt I couldn't answer without overstepping, I'd flag a different moderator and ask them to respond. You don't have to actually engage if you're worried someone will raise your blood pressure. That's why you need a team. And communciation!
but if you called them a name
The post was called "Delusional mod rule", not sure if that qualifies as a name in this case
Oh I remember that!
Oof. Yeah. Well, I feel like this was probably a PTB sitch but also one we could easily see coming. They can't have you commenting in their domain and showing people the mistakes they made.
In the meantime, I haven't seen them comment on what happened publically and not receive a ton of displeasure from the crowd. Any particularly loud voices are going to be targeted anyway they can be, and yours, being that you posted to YPTB (where they were again flamed in the comments) is an easy one to single out.
Feeling sorry for @[email protected] who wrote a long post with all the issues but never got any answer
Yes! This is exactly the thing. So if that user was like, more online, they might have followed those mods around asking them to answer this post. Then, they would have banned them for harassment, since they were following the mods around, and that would "solve" them never answering the big post.
Oh I'm on and watching. Just watching for now.
(I work from home and have a LOT of monitors in my office, so a single browser is easy peasy)
Edited to add: I'll be following up in the very same thread BTW. Just giving them a full day.
God I hope I'm there when it happens so I can post an image macro of Gandalf the White.
Its just ticking past 24hrs now, so I'll be commenting shortly (just have some work to do first)
That would be hilarious ha ha
They asked, I obliged.
I'm just glad I started with the quoted part, or it would have been an even longer comment without a reply!
Though I never expected an actual response anyway.
The whole thing was a mess, it's crazy đ
Here's the thing - I'm on Lemmy a lot throughout the day, but I mostly just browse and upvote.
I like blahaj, was going to sign up there actually, but I think db0 is more aligned to me, so I'm staying here. That said, 196 was a fun, silly place to go to when I'm feeling overloaded/stressed/whatever, and its really pleasant to know it was a hate-free space. Just a little comfort spot of ridiculousness.
I'm only commenting a lot now because they are willing to let hate in (whether they realize that or not did not and does not matter). I'm glad to see so many others took issue in the same way.
For the record, I kind of agree with the outcome here. The mods are getting enough pushback and you escalating it to name calling did not advance the wellbeing or outcome for either side.
That's fair.
I was just being really frustrated with that mod not having a local account, and not being recognizing that was an issue. That's basic knowledge that every mod has that you won't get the reports from a non-local account.
When you go through this comment from Ada, it's even more blatant that Ada had to do the heavy lifting on the moderation: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/20976989/12493554
People are allowed to make mistakes, to be clueless. But trying to throw Ada and Blahaj under the bus because they didn't just cared enough to create a post on Blahaj meta community just seemed weird to me.
coexistence? no. meme war. post more and better until victory!
