Shouldn’t there be some sort of baseline of sanity for community moderators? This dude is straight up pushing non-stop propaganda of his flavoring and deletes anything that he doesn’t like of https://lemmy.world/c/latestagecapitalism the mod log is very transparent and if that’s not power tripping I don’t know what is.
LateStageCapitalism was already a Tankie disinformation cesspool on Reddit. Not sure why it is on .world instead of .ml or lemmygrad though.
But generally, Lemmy mods are just users. So just like on Reddit, you’ll get all the flaws of this system with tons of mod abuse. If you have opinions that other’s don’t like, they’ll punish you for it and make up a bunch of bullshit to justify themselves.
Because too many people block ml and Lemmygrad.
As part of the Community Team here on LW, I do have the power to review mods and warn/remove them if needed. However, I don’t use that lightly, and given the holdover from Reddit, that heavy moderation might be in line with what people expect.
I’ll keep an eye out, but it’s gotta be pretty damn egregious. I’m also less inclined to use admin powers on something I personally disagree with. I tend to slightly overcorrect for my own bias, which I understand is a bias in itself.
LW has many different mods, and doesn’t have mods that collect all the major communities like pokemon. Personally, I think that’s already better than Reddit. Unfortunately, people seem to just pick their least favorite community and least favorite mod and ascribe that to the entire instance. Many instances are heavily run by their admins. .World is not.
Removed Wikipedia articles cited as misinformation looks pretty egregious to me
Do you want to make a statement on what policies the admins should enforce here?
What’s the argument for/against dealing with it and what should we do?
If it’s a good argument, I can promise it’ll be seen.
Removal of misinformation should require a mod discussion/panel review. Sources can be deemed to be misinformation by a mod majority vote and the list they maintain should be public.
How many mods are there over there, one? Also that’s mod policy. I’m talking about admins. What kind of policy do you want the admins to enforce on the mods?
Ah, gotcha.
Well, if mod actions are reported to admins, they already do a review on the mod, I imagine. So in this case, this post should lead to a mod review, right? Not sure if OP had already gone through official channels. I personally haven’t had to look into this topic before.
So I guess, if admins see that a mod is removing factual information to fit their agenda, that should be grounds for removal. Wikipedia has robust moderation and certainly couldn’t be considered misinformation.
