It feels like the amount of both, divisive posts and ghoulish comments is rising again.

One could argue that the world has a lot of divisive stuff going on and lemmy just talks about it. But the way people post about stuff seems more oot and hateful than it has been in the past.

Not saying it is that but if I wanted to bring the Fediverse down or at least keep my customers from going there, I would sow this stuff as much as I can.

I'm blocking ghouls left right and center atm but if I ever asked a friend to join lemmy, I'd hate to think of what they would see that I dont anymore.

Do we need stronger moderation?

Maybe ban politics from c/memes?
Become a little more stringent on "dont be a jerk" rules in communities?

One thing that really bothers me is the collapsing "discourse". Trying to mend fences and keep the conversation between sides going ime leads to nothing but downvotes and shitstorm.

I feel like a little more interaction (instead of intervention, at first) of the moderators would do wonders there.

Thanks for reading this rant. Have a nice day.

I mean, I have screenshots, but k. Funny how I'm now at least the 3rd person to take issue with you and your temper tantrum mod style.

And please, show me the comments where I made "homophobic generalizations" and "doubled down. I made literally ONE comment. Was it snarky? Yes, but it was in no way what you're characterizing it as. It's also funny how none of that appears in the modlog.

I’m going to go with the modlog reason

That you chose to purposely mischaracterize what I said.

And finally, feel free to check my history, I think you'll find it pretty damn spotless, which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for you.

lol they banned me for misinformation for calling theirs out. Deleted all the comments to control the dialogue as well.

Said I had proof during another exchange (they started) but the comments are deleted, admin came (yay I kinda thought) said the logs are public. Asked the mod (stamets) to show the deleted comments and the admin to show the log, or atleast how to access it, and banned again.

This place is worse than Reddit for this shit right now, you have an admin lying and hiding stuff for a mod, one they put as moderator for a bunch of communities. Thats not fishy or anything…..

I would love to see this “public mod log” because their doesn’t seem to be a way to see (ALL) deleted comments on the current one.

I fully expect another ban for this, for no other reason than Stamets is a thin skinned mod who doesn’t have the emotional capability to mod, and antagonizes Lemmy users and uses their mod powers (abuse) to hide it. Its a fucking shame really, admins are letting it happen too, excusing it in a lot of cases.

I've said my peace, unfortunately not much more I can do. I'll let him go Lord over his little fiefdoms as he wishes. The whole experience has totally turned me off of Lemmy TBH; I've literally never had this kind of issue with a mod here or on Reddit.

This is how stupid this is, I’m banned again for insulting the same mod, even though they aren’t even a mod of any of the communities anymore. The admin didn’t even verify anything before banning me lmfao.

This same mod who has said in their comments they have alternate accounts they have had mod runnins with… and yet an admin defends this mod even giving them communities…. How many accounts does this user have they are hiding behind…?

I would love to see this public mod log that the admin claimed is there, because I would love to make a post showing this bullshit, yet they are sweeping under the rug making it impossible for users to do anything about. The admins are complicit and actively endorse this mod abuse behavior. Because they also provide the content they desperately need…

Thanks for coming to my ted talk, my porn alt will be banned now too.

Edit, on this account I see dozens on comments by the user that says “deleted by user” they’ve said some very interesting stuff in these comments before and I Guessing if they delete it, it doesn’t show up in the mod log. Would love to show the admins some of them.
