They removed a comment essentially saying "I'm Canadian" as misinformation? Do Canadians not exist?
Ye Power Trippin' Bastards
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
Relevant comms
Canadians are a hoax perpetrated by the Scottish to sell cold weather.
I mean, just listen to that accent. Clearly made up.
Canada is a country made up for the comedy TV series Letterkenny.
FUCKING EMBARRASSING!
Come on don’t tell me you believe they’re real? No one can survive weather that cold. It’s an obvious fairy tail.
jordanlund knows a truth we aren’t strong enough to accept, clearly
Ugh, I knew it'd be Jordanlund before I saw the instance. I like them as a fellow forum user, but they should NOT be moderating anything. They remove comments they disagree with and use the moderation reason as a "you're wrong and my opinion is the final word now" field. Absolutely bullshit.
I could see their tendencies working well in NCD, r/atheism or another community with a very specific vision and focus from leadership.
not world news though lmao
Now they know how i feel as an aussie. If im an actor wheres my paycheck.
How bad must it be for New Zealanders? Their entire country doesn't exist.
Lemmy.nz exists. No lemmy.usa as far as I know. Does this mean the USA do not exist? /s
On a more serious note, there is !AskUSA@discuss.online
There's lemmyusa.com, though that one is relatively new.
3 users, 2 posts (it says, but only see 1?), 1 community
Only 1 admin, though looks like a joint account.
Strictly Photon UI though, not base Lemmy?
Neat sidebar text (for those who can find it:-).
We'll see I suppose.
Well at least everyone knows not to put a fake country like theirs on the map.
Now they don't!
Don't tell me, you still believe in Canada 🤣
I've often stood in the south shore of Lake Superior, straining my eyes, wondering what's on the other side of that vast expanse of water. They say that's where Canada is. I've never seen it, I don't think it actually exists
As usual,
Thanks for consistently sharing those two links.
We should probably make an announcement somewhere at some point, so that they become known once and for all
I had a Turkish news post that I translated REMOVED
will post them in here from now on
PTB + CML (with respect to Canadian politics) on this one I think.
i concur.
fine to be clueless on occasion, i myself have been that way at many points. not fine to be unwilling to do 5 seconds of research before ~~banning~~ removing for misinformation.
I've said this before, I'll say this again. news@lemmy.world, worldnews@lemmy.world, and politics@lemmy.world (all of which are run by roughly the same group of mods), is a growing cancer in the fediverse.
Alternatives: !world@quokk.au !globalnews@lemmy.zip
Some other news communities:
- !news@beehaw.org - not available to people on Lemmy.World or sh.itjust.works
- !upliftingnews@lemmy.world - still Lemmy.World but different mods and focus
"misinformation" shouldn't be a removable rule lol, unless it's about a specific conspiracy, misinformation can be wrongly enforced due to one ignorance. This is no different than tankie bs.
As a Canadian, no lol
One dumb mod doesn't make or break the need for misinformation to be removed
I think people need to start saying:
Government of Canada (aka: The Prime Minister & Cabinet, and Members of Legislature supporting thereof)
thats true, how dare anyone use language differently from the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥
