Hell yeah! I'm with you on this one. Maybe I should start intentionally brigading communities and start spewing fascist bullshit just so they can see how dumb this rule is

They're literally just asking mods to wield their power like a surgical scalpel and not a cudgel and actually do more than see a triggering keyword or phrase and instantly dropping the ban hammer based on a knee-jerk reaction.

Someone who is misinformed saying something that is incorrect doesn't mean they should be banned for spreading misinformation. There has to be intent behind it.

Someone saying they wish so and so would drop dead shouldn't instantly warrant a ban for "inviting violence" if it's not an actual, credible, serious call for organized violence.

I don't really expect that shit to change, regardless. Most people who create a community, volunteer to moderate or even administrate a whole ass server, do so because they want to set the rules and run things their way.

So you (self-admittedly maining on another instance (in reality the admin of that instance)) are locking an entire community on LW in protest of their admin policy on their instance? That's bold, to put it mildly. You instance-ban users for downvoting, so it makes sense you find this change personally unreasonable.

Myself? I don't think the new change is a great idea, but I prefer it to short-fuse blanket bannings like that.

Move the community to a different Instance?

Tl;dr

But: Yes, we need more respectful dissent.

There are so many people who no longer talk to people who think differently. I don't know whether it's cowardice or whether they've simply never learned to do so, or for whatever reason.

Why not just migrate to another instance? Have you forgotten that we are in the fediverse? This is a good opportunity to move communities to other instances.

I'll leave the speculation as to whether Musk dropped LW a big check as an exercise to the reader.

And u call the right wingers the conspiracy theorists. Musk could not give 2 fucks about lemmy.

The lw admins have realised to compete as a platform in the marketplace if ideas u cannot censor ideas. Musk made the first move meta has been forces to follow as so is lemmy.

Why are u so concerned that u can be held accountable for any authoritarian censorship u may partake in?

Also i dare u to delete this comment.

"Communities should not be overly moderated in order to enforce a specific narrative. Respectful disagreement should be allowed in a smaller proportion to the established narrative."

It looks extremely reasonable to be honest
