j4k3@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoAdmin placed a bot in that community as moderator. I find that highly insufficient and offensive and am volunteering to do a better job, because such inept moderation makes me want to leave this place and likely will affect others similarly. The community was passively moderated in the past to much better effect and should continue in such a liberal style for the benefit of users. I believe this is critical for stability on LW which has dwindled and deteriorated considerably in the last 6 months. I’m offering a solution to the continued decline in one small area.

the existence of an automod bot in a moderator position does not indicate anything about the extent of human moderation.
the human moderators are still active on lemmy and content is being moderated.

I didn’t see L3 is active and apologize to them. I saw mod actions from automod and the inactive top two mods, with the LW admin on the mod list.
The community has an overly verbose and micromanaged rules set along with a terrible modlog that lacks detail and discretion IMO. It cones across as narcissistic to me, while the community has been far more liberal in practice in my experience.
I expect to never see a bot interaction on any post or comment I ever make here. If a real person cannot take the time to write out their reasoning and put their name on their actions, I am not a human in that paradigm. I am a human, and always post in good faith to the best of my ability, so such an inhuman action against me implies a demeaning and prejudiced act of cowardice.
I seem to recall around a week ago I was trying to post in a community that was locked in protest for something on LW. I thought it was c/no stupid questions, but my memory is fuzzy and I don’t see it in the modlog. I’m probably mistaken and perhaps it was some other community. For that, I apologize. That was my biased mindset of what was happening in this community.
I strongly believe that any user that posts in good faith, regardless of quality, correctness, eccentricity, or just having a bad day, should never encounter mods or admin under any circumstances unless they post something ridiculous like a book review in self hosting or some similar out of scope post.
Mods should have a similar code of conduct as doctors with the Hippocratic aphorism “first, do no harm” above all else. Every action has a great potential for harm and should be taken seriously as a human dealing with humans. Bots should only manage bots.
