Jordanlund removed a post in news@lemmy.world 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.

    I’m the top mod of !news@lemmy.world

    The OP of this post was an ass, but the original post was corrected.

    I’ve restored that post. I’m also talking with all mods about this whole thing.

    Sorry I didn’t see it sooner. Family medical issues has been my sole focus all week.

    I’ll respond to this comment if I have anything further to say about this incident.

    Seems like it’s time to bring back the moment where JLund power tripped over Canada’s government terminology despite being corrected by several Canadian citizens

    But anyway, his comments in this thread already speak for themselves.

    Edit: people sometimes question why I try to avoid overcentralization on LW. That mod mods both !politics@lemmy.world, !news@lemmy.world and !world@lemmy.world, three of the most active communities on the whole platform.

    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.

        “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.

        Respect is earned, not granted. If you come at me hot I will ruin you and not feel the LEAST bit bad about it. Don’t like it?

          That is the corniest, clowniest, cringiest shit I’ve ever fucking read, and it’s absolutely hysterical that you think posting a pic so old it’s actually still called an image macro while modding like a petty child is “ruining” someone.

          You’re displaying an emotional age that’s less than half the age of the image you posted. For your own sake and the sake of everyone around you, please grow up.

              “PTB” has “power” in the name. One cannot be a “PTB” without having power over others, such as mod or admin rights.

                This is true, but why is it that the audience in PTB seems to be a bunch of people with modlogs as long as your arm for hateful, homophobic, and transphobic comments across multiple instances and communities?

                That’s not one bad mod. That’s a community of bad actors chafing against people who dare to tell them “No. Not allowed.”

                Response is always the Internet equivalent of the most Karenish Karen who ever Karened. “I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER!”

                  It’s absolutely hilarious that you’re trying to justify your behavior by describing my modlog, which summarizes a total of four encounters over more than two years, as “as long as your arm.”

                  It’s also notably pathetic, and wickedly ironic, since one of those encounters was with a mod who seemed to behave such as yourself, in a particular event involving an incredibly hostile vegan calling everyone cow-fucking rapists. Yeah, apparently that’s okay, but asking them if they’re a false flag because of how absolutely unhelpful that behavior is towards changing people’s minds constitutes incivility.

                  Of course, it doesn’t surprise me you would blindly stand behind any mod action. You honestly seem like the “might makes right” type, regardless of how small your “might” actually is. I’d be willing to bet the only reason you’re here trolling like this is because the limit of your power is entirely within communities I’ve never once participated in.

                  Oh, and also, don’t you dare ever spread such vile fucking lies about me again you piece of shit. I’m going to be directly contacting the administration of your instance about this.

              Congrats, you found out that I have a negative reaction to transphobes and other assorted shitheads. Hope you like the company.

              And by the way, another incredibly childish move. Act like an adult, please.

          Moderation is not a tool in your arsenal to out-escalate an interpersonal dispute. I always thought your actions were fairly reasonable in the past but this one is really not a good look. I would encourage you to take a break and reflect on this interaction.

            Let me explain it like this… If you come at me with a shitty attitude, I have ZERO obligation to treat you with kindness and I absolutey will not. Again, don’t like it, get fucked.

            OTOH, many, many times people have PM’d me and said “Hey, I don’t think this is right, can you look at it?” and I’ll reverse it or politely explain why not.

            For example, someone had a comment removed for “inciting domestic violence”. It was an example of a loaded question, the whole “when did you stop beating your wife?” thing. So I restored it and went to the mod and explained “no, no, that’s not an actual call for domestic abuse, it’s literally an example of a dishonest question” with the supporting link.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question

            I think the mod in question just wasn’t familiar with the colloquialism, eh, it happens.

            In the case of Zaktor calling our community rules “bullshit”, yeah, fuck that guy.

              What you don’t seem to understand is that responding to negativity with negativity is not what makes this PTB. That’s a fairly normal response. What makes this PTB is deciding to use your mod powers as a means to inflict negativity on people, inflicting punishment on people not because of the rules, but because you feel like it. You explicitly admitted to doing this: “Now I’m removing it just to spite you”.

          Ya know, it’s pretty common to see a post on a message board calling out user’s/mod’s shitty behavior, but rare that they actually come to the thread themselves and prove first-hand what a narcissistic little fuckbag they are, so… Good on you for that, I guess, at least

          I’ve gotten secondhand embarrassment just by reading that. If your goal was to come up with the cringiest pre-teen internet badass keyboard warrior bullshit possible, then congrats. I think the only way you could have topped that was if you told me your dad was gonna come beat up my dad.

          You will never be anything more than a dried up neckbeard Reddit mod, and you’re going to die alone, unwanted, and unsexed.
