MODERATORS
Content moderation. Enough with moderators deciding what the facts are. Let users debate the facts and do the fact checking for themselves. Mods can disagree, in their comments. But moderators shutting down threads, or disqualifying/deleting posts because it disagrees with their politics or personal views is redditory as hell.
There's a difference between politics and hate speech I'd say. Politics sure ok. Ad hominem attacks and hate speech should be removed imo. Additionally, if a thread is becoming too hostile, sometimes locking it down is just a good thing to do before things get worse.
Totally agree. The thing is it's a thin line between identifying hate speech and disagreement. Some people (mods) confuse the two. Moderating well is a tough job.
I don't think people even understand what an ad hominem attack is anymore. There was a time people understood the distinction between making a cutting remark about someone else's thinking, but this was at a time when people fundamentally recognized that thoughts are not us. As it is, it's become far more common for people to mistakenly assume that hurt feelings are the result of given offense, and not taken offense. Reddit mods didn't know the difference, and already I am getting that people in this thread don't seem to get that difference either.
You sound conservative bro 😂 everyone around conservatives doesn't understand the world correctly like they should
Determining when someone is acting in bad faith or deliberately lying is often much easier said than done
Hate speech isn’t free speech. It comes at a cost.
Well the good thing about lemmy is that people can jump ship and form new communities if they don't like the moderation of one. It will almost certainly lead people into echo chambers even more insulated than on reddit, though.
