Comment on Hypersensitive tankie mod

You guys are getting notifications? I just notice the lack of upvotes after a while.

It just silently goes through, but nobody else can see it. I only know it happened because of the modlog. Weirdly enough they got me the first time for mild criticism of Israel, which I did not expect to be an issue on there.

Might be silent removal of posts instead of ban
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
Nope, it was a two-week ban in the .ml mod log, both times.

Some of the mods will cite the reason for take-down, which is genuinely nice and appreciated and something I forgot even existed after too much time on Reddit.
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
Interesting. Reddit does prompt you to give a removal message, or did at one time.
.ml tends to slap “rule 1” on everything, which says don’t be a bigot, even if that’s obviously not what the comment was about.

Sure about that? From what I’ve seen, anything said in disagreement with the predominant opinion over there is deemed “bigotry”. They don’t appear to be interested in ingratiating anyone to the cause.
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
… That’s exactly what I said. Or, at least, what I tried to say.
Some of it is actual bigotry, because this is still the internet, but if they just want to shut someone up it’s also “rule 1”.

No, it’s still rule 1 on .ml. Or are you accusing me of bigotry out of the blue? That would be ironic in this context.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Maybe. But I also see a lot of 4chan-esque double speak and “Free Speech” concern trolling that’s all the fuck over Reddit constantly without ever getting any kind of take down.
Reddit admins have automated so much of their policy that you’re posting in a minefield. You don’t know what arcane caveat you’re going to trip over that’ll get you suspended or banned. But you still find yourself hip deep in the most virulent bigoted, war-mongering, and overtly vile comment threads, because older heads know how to tip toe around the trigger words.
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
Yeah, both can be true. There’s no way they’re close checking every comment on the instance, looking at the rate of mod actions versus traffic.
Head over to lemmy.ml and scroll to the mod log link at the bottom if you want to see for yourself. A lot of it is just slightly different views on the same stuff.
