They shouldn’t be able to do that!

    give the victim a low impact tool that they can use to mitigate the harassment a bit.

    It is nether low impact or given to just the victims. The concept you have proposed has also been used to build echo chambers of extreme right wing ideologies, used to cancel discourse and bully any descension to an idea, and most of all used to bully minorities by simply asking loaded questions with ultimatums then blocking the person. What you are advocating for flies in the very face of what lemmy is trying to do, and you are so confident that this will help victims you are willing to “close your eyes” to anything other then a standing ovation in response to your half baked idea.

    We have the tools to deal with harassment (and they can always be improved), you seem to think unfettered censorship is needed to fix an issue you seem to have little knowledge or experience of. You could gain some insight by just volunteering to do some mod work, but you are unwilling to do so, yet still think you can speak with any authority on the subject. It is laughable and pure arrogance to think that copying something that has killed the spark/drive of other platforms is a good idea.

      This assumes I’m married to having a block that is exactly like reddit, which I’m not. I just replied to you in another thread with a suggestion that more or less accounts for all of these concerns.
      It cant account for “simply asking loaded questions with ultimatums then blocking the person” but that seems like it’d only be a problem in communities where the mods were already in on it, right? Otherwise these people would just be banned by the mods for clearly bullying. If mods are able to do their jobs, as you say they are, anyways. would mods not be able to handle this?

      you have repeatedly explicitly stated how unqualified I am to be a mod, and here you are telling me to be a mod.

      You sound like you want to be a mod but the worst kind of biased one. They want the ability to police others just due to them conversing with them. you don’t want the responsibility, just a bit of the power.

      why are you telling me to be a mod then?
      you think that I’ll make a bunch of people miserable, that will teach me some kind of lesson? if not, then what?
      were the admins of lemm.ee lying about it all? were the old reddit mods lying about it before the mod purge?
      i dont get what your goal with telling me to mod something.
