mod accountability rule [action taken]
(lemmy.cafe)
Important context: This was an instance of a crowd crush caused by poor crowd control.
edit: action has now been taken against the offending comment :)
(also some of you guys in the comments here have been yoinked by mods too… just be nice? this post was not an invitation to test out your boundaries)
by opening this spoiler you acknowledge that brigading and harrassment are against the rules

I'm not saying he isn't a dick in this thread, but a theist may just as easily concern troll and say, "I just want nonbelievers not to go to hell" and that feels equivalent to me.
No one is being swayed by either of these arguments either way.
The user in question is borderline block material anyway based on the rest of their engagement, and they get uuuuuultra defensive when called out.
wholeheartedly agree, and i would call it out just as i did here. :) either way, such a statement is quite offensive and irresponsible behavior to come from a leader of the “world news” community.
If I recall world news was very toxic and racist on reddit
I recall when stuff about Japan came up on world news it was always misinformed and racist views on how Japan is bad and when people tried to refute they where attacked
It does come from countries that do have an anti-Japan setiment and then spreads to common internet users
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment
And users online resorted to mentioning the "Tiananmen Square Massacre" to stop the trolls from china
If you block FlyingSquid you basically lose ⅓ of all Lemmy content.
Wish I could block their comments and not their link posts
Ask about it on the lemmy github to implement it
Though someone needs to develop a fork of lemmy already because the developers are tankies and they also admin the ml instance
