MODERATORS
My apologies it seems that the Kiwifarms community has restructured to serve different content from the last iteration.
Hate to say it, linking to a community with nothing in it and providing no other examples makes this whole thing look a little like a big meta troll where you’re the one who made the community with an alt and you’re trying to start drama for the lols.
Now, I’m not saying that that is the case. I’m saying I have no idea what’s going on here and everything seems off in someway.
General advice for dealing with issues and drama on social media: receipts. Links and screenshots. You can’t have too many. Let people see the issue for themselves and make it as easy as possible for them to see it by providing a clear and thorough outline full of said links and screenshots.
Then be as clear as you can about what rule or value you think is being breached, what reasonable action you think should be taken, and then why the above applies the user/community in question.
That user does seem toxic. You can block users right? Are are there many like this over there on shitjustworks?
"Bring the Gas kill them all."
"I hope you get stoned by your terrorist friends for supporting gays... Fuck you."
"Nukes. That's how."
"Fuck that, they need to remove all."
"Can you stop spamming, if you want to kill yourself thats your choice and right to do, but please dont annoy others with it, bridges are a great choice, or maybe a noose if you know how to tie knots, dont use drugs they often fail and cause long therm problems, if you are in the US a gun is of course also a option. Have a nice day and maybe just eat a Cookie and rethink before making a final choice."
"Ich rate zu großzügigem Konsum von Cyanid."
We must have completely different definitions of what is considered toxic or violent then. Blocking doesn't fix that, it's what you do for people that hurt youw feewings, not for people who are dangerous, that's why I'm reaching out. But hey you just tell people to block because its standard fucking procedure on Lemmy and probably elsewhere to assume that problems aren't real and that everyone are just special little fucking snowflakes who should cover their ears and close their eyes.
I hear you. Wasn’t suggesting your claims have no basis.
Just talking about available courses of action. Lax moderation seems to be a general problem across the Fedi, at least for many people. Given that it’s a community based system (at the moment) more community based moderation may be a necessary behaviour on the Fedi, and one which we need to learn how to do. It was in that spirit that I was talking about available courses of action. FWIW, reaching out for the sake of the others is obviously laudable IMO.
These are all awful hateful comments.
I can't find them anywhere? Are they already moderated out? Deleted? Edited?
Trying to make sense of all this.
These were Already actioned by the subs respectively, you can see them in the modlog if you search his username, he also had a few others which disappeared or just weren't there and couldn't find them on the modlog, which I guess he deleted, I don't remember it verbatim though so I can't quote it but more stuff encouraging massacring people or blowing them up.
Yea, I've been searching the modlog too but can't find anything. I might be doing something wrong on my end though, I'll check again after some sleep.
