LOL… you’re not doing yourself any favors by insulting the people accusing you of power tripping.
For the record: removing comments that violate no rules just for simply disagreeing with a post- without giving reason for each removal, and then updating the post with flimsy reasoning for removal is by definition- BAD MODERATING.
And If you can still find yourself defending your decision to silence people simply for disagreeing with your point- you have no business being a moderator.
Have you ever moderated a community? Glass houses…
I allowed free discussion on that post for a day. A post about organizing against Trump and fascism. And it wasn’t until the discussion degraded into apathy, negativity and discouragement that I decided that it was necessary, for the spirit of the post, to remove comments. I could not allow the melancholy of insecure individuals to influence participation in a protest movement that hopefully will save America. Judging by the reactions, it was necessary and warranted.
As for insults- Don’t insult me, and I won’t insult you.
I have moderated many in the past- and I only moderate a few currently. And I can tell you from my experience over the years- doing shit your way is the opposite of what defines a good moderator.
And if it helps, because it sort of relates-
If you’re going to ask a question, maybe allow the person questioned, to answer before you drop accusations on them. Because the “glass houses” this makes you come off as someone smug and obnoxious.
It’s your community, moderate as you see fit- but know that your not entitled to have everyone agree with you.
And oh yes. I will absolutely call people trolls. Because I call my opinions as I see them. And some people are fucking trolls. That’s the way shit goes on the internet. However, that doesn’t mean would ever do this as a moderator- because I know how to keep my bias in check when it’s time to run a community that others rely on being fair.
You clearly have shown you can’t.
Think of it like this: when one goes to work, they don’t talk shit and insult their customers/clients, regardless of wether or not they feel they deserve it. It’s called professionalism and responsibly. If you can’t run a community with either of these, you have no business running a community.
And it seems everyone here agrees, because you’re getting absolutely wrecked where you thought you’d have solidarity.
Because it’s irrelevant to the discussion. I’m not the one on the stand, defending my actions and seeking validation for doing shit that should probably warrant me being removed as a moderator- you are.
I’m just offering advice. And it’s coming from both barrels because due to the nature of what you did, and how fucking smug you are about it here- I honestly didn’t feel you deserved it served any other way.
Want respect? Then be respectful. And the fact that you’re here being an ass to people because they called you out for acting like the very thing you claim to stand against, clearly shows that you are not.
If I were you, I’d make a stickied post in your community offering an apology and a promise to never do that shit again.
…says the person that uses cartoons to respond to legitimate criticism.
And you wonder why I call people trolls.
You could have chosen to learn from this, but instead you chose to lean into it. I really hope this gets more traction. People need to see who you are.

What community on Lemmy do you moderate?
Edit: Just looked through the modlog at some of your comments. Being smug and obnoxious to you is too nice. You call people trolls. Lol
That is none of your fucking business.
