Comment on Asking for moderator Rooki's removal for misconduct

• Rose@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Looking at the modlog, Rooki reinstated the two !vegan moderators and restored one of the mods’ comments about an hour ago. Rooki also edited their own comment referenced in the OP to say the following:

  Edit: I am sorry, about my emotional decision i reinstated @Eevoltic and @naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com as mods After researching myself, many sites say its not healthy, one (1) research paper says it is at least NOT unhealthy, but it has few points of data.

  Personally, I’m not fully satisfied if that is the end of it. The changes look like Rooki admitting that the issue is not clear-cut, but Rooki’s conduct as a moderator has to reflect the rules, not something as arbitrary as Rooki’s level of disagreement with someone’s views at the given time.

  Nobody should have to convince Rooki that something is not misinformation. Rooki (or any other instance moderator) must not even think of interfering on that basis. The word “misinformation” is not in the rules in any shape or form. If anything, the rules side more with the community moderators’ judgement by saying “Your participation in individual communities will only be acceptable on the condition that you abide by their rules.”

    I love how this comment is how I find out what’s happened

      In the absence of announcements, my understanding is that it’s highly unlikely that Rooki will be removed for the misconduct.

      Firstly, it doesn’t take a team of two admins and seven moderators nearly a week to investigate a matter involving a handful of comments and six users. Secondly, if it were a broader investigation into Rooki’s overall conduct, you’d expect Rooki to at least be asked to pause their moderator activity for the duration, but Rooki continues to ban people and remove comments.

      Ironically, one of the users banned by Rooki for trolling today is EndlessApollo, whose comment and subsequent ban by !vegan launched the whole chain of events.

      O/U on if they actually do a statement?

    At least they admitted fault and learned a lesson.

    However I’m also not adequately satisfied with this behaviour. This is an egregious example of someone not understanding how community works and then stepping in to boss them around about something they know little about.

    I’m calling on the Lemmy.World team to appointment a vegan admin to oversee the community of !vegan@lemmy.world and for the removal of Rooki as an admin.

      I would probably consider that community lost and promote the other ones on the other instances as much as possible

      Why should we care if you are?

    More than I expected. Still wonder if they’ll actually say something
