Bad mod action in anti-work community (slrpnk.net)

This thread was inappropriately censored by either @punkisdead@slrpnk.net or @mambabasa@slrpnk.net claiming:

“Reason: Reason: Literally the opposite of anti-work is "over employment" which OP is arguing for”

There is an English comprehension problem by the mod. Would someone whose first language is English please:

notice that over employment is actually the problem that the thread’s thesis seeks remedies for. Being forced into a full-time or nothing ultamatim is a very common problem that oppresses anti-work proponents. It’s the single most common problem we face. Appalling that a mod would block the discussion.
undo the improper mod action

The mod’s action to suppress is actually a pro-work action, as it prevents discussion around solutions to over-employment.

Can you post a link or screenshot of the modlog to see the original text? Your link does not work for me.

Personally, I find it frustrating that an instance that is either explicitly or implicitly supportive of anarchism uses the completely unaccountable moderation model from Reddit. I don't want to start drama with specific users but this wouldn't be the first time I've seen some pretty questionable mod actions on this instance, which is disappointing, given our shared ethos. I get that we're stuck with the tools that Lemmy provides us which are very limited but I think there has got to be a better way somehow. In my view, this system inevitably leads to abuse, especially on contentious topics.

This. We need to figure out a way to incorporate an anarchist approach to running communities and instances. In what way is a couple moderators controlling and making decisions for the userbase anarchist?

Do you have any ideas or suggestions? It would be really helpful to have a model to follow instead of trying to invent one. I tried to investigate the moderation model on /r/anarchism but I didn’t find any real information.

From what I can tell, its uncharted waters. I think there needs to be some level of accountability for moderators, what that looks like idk. But I also don't want to be the kind of person who complains without suggesting anything, so maybe some sort of voting process to make a moderator to step down. I think it'd be a good idea to have a post that asks people for suggestions around this topic
