I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
Oh what a shock, it’s Goat, the known tolerator of Nazis until they get called out on it too often.
Wild but unsurprising goat only cares about clearing their good name over how shitty the only other mod is
goat loves to lie, it’s like their primary method of engagement
And then say us documenting their actions (that they then go back and edit) are the real liars.
Screenshot Goat, they’ll remove their posts to make you seem like you lied.
it’s that or straight up gaslighting. When I called out the widespread use of ‘degenerate’ on meanwhile on grad being used to dehumanize whatever ‘tankies’ that they were sneering at, I provided 3 examples of different users doing that; one of those users in a direct reply to goat.
none of the posts in question got removed
goat has since said that ‘oh it was only one user’ - never mind that it was only the most egregious user out of all the examples I happened to provide (not an exhaustive list).
But he got banned for a week after months is dog whistles! That’s totally being fair! Just accept months of insults and dehumanizing.
Also what dehumanizing language have we used on him? I’d love to see the full context.
I linked the post; according to goat ‘a lot’ of context is coming soon™
From the context that exists it sounds like the dehumanizing language is calling them fascists? I would love to have them elaborate so it can be addressed rather than vaguely gesturing.
no I don’t like it when snark communities hold me responsible for anothers actions.
if you have a trouble with the moderation go and take it up with them, not me
Ohhhh I get it, you think this is a snark place. Or just want attention
I absoutely do think it’s a snark place, yeah.
Like i’m being held responsible for actions that someone else did
Going with wanting attention
No you don’t understand he find extremism fascinating on both sides
But only criticises one, strangely enough
“I hate all extremism, I just only publicly declare my hatred for one and don’t mind it when the others join me doing it.”
I criticise all extremists
Extremism comes from everywhere, not from these both sides
Yeah for example you’re an extreme centrist
lol whats that mean?
Well for example you’re still “neutral” in the gazan genocide aren’t ya?
nope. i don’t approve of Israel’s military actions in gaza and I don’t approve of Hamas’ actions either
Exactly. “Very fine people on both aide”
why do you think you need to be supportive of a military force?
Can’t you be in support of the innocent?
The other mod is as bad if not worse
Wasn’t me fuckwit
your are still the second mod of that community , you are still responsible
I gave the community away, and I don’t plan on moderating it. I’m remaining the head moderator in case of any potential drama or mod abuse from ikt.
I will wait for you to remove the other pro genocide mod for that community
Why should I entertain any of your demands when you call me a nazi even though I’ve asked people not to say that because it’s hurtful?
Look, I don’t know anything about you, and I’m not the person who said that, new to the thread, but you said you wanted to remain head moderator in case of mod abuse. We’re seeing mod abuse. It’s time to kick the other one out. Refusal after being made aware of this is approval if you want to remain head moderator to remove other mods for mod abuse.
Well, it’s only mod abuse if it goes against the rules they’ve made. If they make a new rule stating no i/p content, then it wouldn’t be mod abuse.
but yeah I’ve brought this to their attention and told them to rework their previous rules. If they don’t, then I’ll be resigning from the community, as I have no interest in moderating a worldnews community
Really though it’s a minuscule community, with one post per day
i think i maybe don’t understand your stance. you’re remaining mod there to prevent mod abuse, have asked that this mod update the rules, and if they won’t, you’re going to let them run rampant? what does this accomplish? why not just resign either way since that’s the path you most want to follow.
not trying to criticize, i just… am very confused
Don’t you mean eugenevdebs’s called you a nazi?
If you want to not remove him fine , don’t complain after that when people call you a zionist and anti Palestinian liberation person
I also never called him one, I said he tolerates Nazis on his instance. I’ve called him out on it, but he’s not a Nazi. Some of the people there are, and are allowed in. That’s my problem.
Oh, apologies, I got you mixed up with someone else
Yikes, sorry for thinking the community that you’re still a mod of was possibly you, especially after you’ve previously shown simular situations of banning people for things you don’t like.
I accept your apology, can you please edit a strikethrough of your previous comment?
