Just putting this here cause I found it a good overview of a pretty confusing situation I had no prior knowledge about

That is just nonsense. Without moderators the internet would be unusable for everyone.

Depends on your perspective I guess. The way I see it: Moderators are (partially) there to limit the spread of hate so if you are a hate spreader, you would thrive without moderation, but if you are a hate receiver, you’re better off when moderation rules are enforced.

Without moderators most spaces would be completely unusable due to spammers, trolls and others whose behavior and motivations have very little to do with their sexuality, politics, their skin tone or their religion.

You're trying to dismiss an assertion by submitting a superset of the assertion. Which is usually done to belittle or ignore the orginal point in the argument, which is that a majoirty of those pushing back against CoC also romanticize the old boys group of experts.

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

The original point was to argue for CoC which is fine and can be done without antagonizing people with the tired old "white cis-het,..." nonsense in this context.

That’s true and is the reason why I said “moderators are (partially) there …”.

Hate spreaders need people to spread hate to, but people that are targeted by hate tend not to hang around in spaces where unrestrained hate is allowed.

[-] eskimofry@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

You're trying to argue reality is the same for everyone. But as a CisHet Guy It's kind of obvious I get treated better than women and it just gets worse from Woman to then any of the LBTQIA+ community.

I am not even white and christian and I can tell the difference. Please don't try to argue about it being equally bad for everyone if moderation was taken away.

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 months ago

No, I am trying to argue that moderators are relevant long before any of that (discrimination based on race, religion, gender,...) even starts to matter.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
