Perma bans
~~perma bans him~~ (joking of course ;D )
If only Reddit would do the same thing that FB does. I would gladly take a month ban from time to time to stay on Reddit. But, they got me and like lots of other people, I didn’t say anything bad. Oh well, hopefully Reddit will go down in flames in 10 years or so.
I hope that the mod-user relationship will be healthier here. (Bias, I was a reddit moderator.)
Some reddit mods were crap, this is true. Powermods and sub collectors were real. They did shit up a few communities.
But these people were a very small proportion of all moderators. Most moderators I met were chill, and just wanted to chip in to their respective communities to give back, in a way. Volunteering for internet janitor duty, because no matter how much people use the term as an insult it turns out public spaces need janitors - or they get filled with shit, trash, graffiti (and not the cool kind either, mostly badly drawn swastikas). It's not a position that should be glorified, or anything, because that's weird, but I hope that some semblance of basic respect can be maintained here on Lemmy - both ways, meaning no powermods but also no defaulting to assuming mods suck.

The general attitude that people have where they need to be right at all costs and will insult you for thinking otherwise.
Like, it's okay to admit that you're wrong and have your views changed.
👍
Leave my brick alone.
Up votes. Actually wait a minute.
In all seriousness, any dumb, little thought out comments.
I would like to hope Lemmy is the Reddit of old before the masses ruined it.
I'm loving Lemmy right now.
