Comment on Gatekeeping the Infuriating

I don’t actively discourage people from posting because I don’t find their opinion is good enough to post

Like do you want me to just not moderate so people post porn and racist shit? Because I could just not and that is what you’re going to get

I am talking about the kind of commenters who actively go out of their way to put an OP down deciding that somebody can’t post their opinion of something because it isn’t infuriating enough

The point is everyone has different thresholds of what one person finds infuriating, I expressed what doesn’t infuriate me but I haven’t actively gone a crusade to remove posts because I don’t personally find them infuriating

The modlog is fully transparent you can see for yourself what content is removed and why

I suppose you just don’t want people to moderate? I do this as a volunteer because nobody else wants too. As it turns out few people really want the responsibility of doing this shit, it’s thankless and not for everyone

The amount of false reports I see for things that aren’t a criteria to be removed people just do it because they don’t like what was said

Those silently responding are doing exactly what I said I find infuriating, because something doesn’t infuriate them rather than just move on and find another post they are actively down voting, creating a hostile environment for people who want to join the community but haven’t yet because of how hostile it can be, it’s elitest behaviour and not constructive
