I detest moderators, I do not trust them, I do not want them skewing my reality, get out GET OUT, I don’t want your help, I don’t want you, I don’t like you I rather wade through a terabyte of spam and cheese pizza than tolerate you silently altering my worldview one more fucking time.

It’s literally crazy to say something like this on Lemmy of all places.

Don’t like moderators? Fine, try to host your own instance and your own communities. You’ll find quickly that it turns to shit because it’s actually pretty hard to do well.

Don’t care, hard disagree, I rather complete chaos than a boot on my throat.

I can handle chaos just fine.

It’s my decision, moderation should only ever be an optional subscription service rather than a jackbooted imposition.

Then go to 4chan or some other lawless place, what are you doing here?
Funnily enough, 4chan is quite actively moderated

Not really. You’ll just always have to deal with people who hate you because they wanna break the rules and hate facing the consequences. That isn’t hard. It’s just annoying.

It especially wouldn’t be hard if you hate “censorship” and let everyone just say whatever they want, even if they’re bigoted pieces of shit and posting CSAM. You literally just do nothing. Doing nothing is easy!
