Tankie mods on world are criticized for being too tankie in moderation.

Admins try to address this by forcing mods to argue instead of immediately ban if something is posted against their beliefs.

A non-tankie mod thinks it is bullshit that they have to engage in every online argument in good faith and takes their subs (I know this isn't the official term but it communicates the idea) dark in protest.

While I don't agree with the 'tankie' rhetoric (it's been thrown around so much that word has no meaning here), mod abuse has definitely gotten out of control across most online communities.

It's opening up an opportunity for communities that don't tolerate mod abuse to flourish.

The mods only have themselves to blame. Hopefully these new communities won't repeat the same mistakes.

It is going to be a learning experience for mods and admins on Lemmy. It took years for Reddit to cobble together a governance structure and, even then, it was really bad. I haven't seen the devs take any stance on building tools to help and we've seen a lot of cases where mod abuse have been defended by admins.

This seems to be a first stab at admins taking a proactive approach to mod abuse. It is a bad policy, but at least they seem like they are trying to do something.

Why are right wingers the only ones who ever try to devalue the meaning of words?

If they don't like being called tankies or nazis they are free to chage their beleifs, same as you if you feel like you are being grouped in for your beliefs.

Yeah, this proves my point.

I'm not a tankie, nor am I a right-winger.
