Sorry to read there has been trouble on this particular forum. My 5 cents:

You aren’t likely to keep moderators around, as long as we insist on emulating the sort of nonsense that’s been running rampant on university campuses for an unforgivably long time/ was lampooned in the first scene of “American Fiction”… That is to say, taking increasingly elastic definitions of “trolling”, and capitulating to the frivolous grievances of real-life equivalents to Titania McGrath

Be very specific and explicit about what content is forbidden, with instructions such as “No posting links to kiddie porn or footage of ISIS beheadings. No threatening anyone to go to someone else’s house and dismember them with a chainsaw”, instead of hiding behind deliberately vague euphemisms and weasel phrases, such as “No targeting marginalized populations for hate”

Also, issue a public statement such as “Those who are among the 13% of America who revel in being offended, and expect the rest of us mere mortals to keep our speech G-rated are well advised to go watch The Disney Channel, rather than visiting lemmy. We’re a forum for aspiring adults who are enthusiasts for inquiry and the robust exchange of ideas”

Hi,

thanks for your points, if you think a ban of yours or your friends was unjustified, please tell him to make a unbann request, because if someone just isnt making the effort of making a unban request, then we dont see any regret, or not even a try to tell us that we were wrong.

If it was a community ban you are talking about, then talk to the mods.

If you are just angry because you got site banned ( because your account is just 3 days old and is immediatly got into a fight in the news community ), this is just the way of getting another one.

I would even say, some of your comments there are remove worthy, but we let the moderators choose if they want the message gone or not.

We are only here for urgent or illegal stuff. And that there is always a community moderated

“I would even say, some of your comments there are remove worthy…”

Fair inference: You also found Nanette ground-breaking and revolutionary, but believed yourself to be “traumatized” after seeing one of Dina Hashem’s roast battles on YouTube

“Context” is indeed key… Moderating becomes extremely simple, when we remember that words written on the internet aren’t living organisms with fangs and claws that can leap off the screen to gore the humans who are reading them. When we encounter thoughts online which we find objectionable, all we have to do is find something else on lemmy to read

[email protected] rule 1 is as follows:

Be civil: Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

I’m the one that banned you, after numerous complaints about a large amount of your comments were in violation of this rule for multiple reasons.
