[Meta] Negativity in Comments
[Meta] Negativity in Comments - Lemmy.World
Recently, we merry mods have been noticing many-a-comments being in the report queue for perceived negativity (the aim of the community being to provide “a break from the incessant negativity and rage”). What actions should we do about these, if any? Do we need a newsome another-rule for this? Here’s what I think: Some skepticism and scrutiny is always quite needed knowledge—especially against information that’s actually untrue/misleading—and any bars I can think of for removing negative comments would apply to reasonable skepticism as well. Thus, the mod team is asking y’all to drop some bars!

I’m new to moderating on Lemmy.World since I only have this account as a community I moderate is on .World. This user has persistently been using “orc” to refer to Russians and a user who defends Russian driving. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/orc [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/orc] says it’s an ethnic slur but https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1811354/i-will-not-call-russians-rushists-or-orcs-that-s-dehumanising-interview [https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1811354/i-will-not-call-russians-rushists-or-orcs-that-s-dehumanising-interview] makes it out slightly more nuanced as a dehumanizing pejorative. The comments’ not receiving admin action has got me wondering. Is this time for some sort of ban? Does this violate the instance rules?

[Meta] Enumerated list of rules - Lemmy.World
Since it’s slightly less than easy to glean the rules from the sidebar, here’s an itemized collection of rules. For example, the schadenfreude rule can be referred to as a)1. — #### a) Posts must be uplifting. 1. This excludes schadenfreude [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude].[1] #### b) Posts must not overtly deal with toxic politics.[1] #### c) Links must not be low-effort.[1] 1. Links must not go to a copy of a copy of a copy. (Try finding the original source instead! Links do not have to be textual, so there’s no need to find a content farm to post a video.) 2. Posts must not be fake news. #### d) Comments should foster open discussion. 1. Negativity/spreading doom and gloom in comments is currently allowed.[2] 2. Comments be civil and must not include personal attacks towards other commenters or non-public figures. (Swearing is allowed as long as it isn’t directed towards those.) Please engage with others’ points respectfully and fully. The rest of the lemmy.world instance rules apply here as well. — [1] https://lemmy.world/post/30918729 [https://lemmy.world/post/30918729] [2] https://lemmy.world/post/36475489 [https://lemmy.world/post/36475489] If there’s something you think that should be on here but isn’t, feel free to say so!

Over the past week, I’ve seen a lot of discontent on this source, which gets a lot of deserved flak for seeming like a content farm that adds little to its original sources. I discussed this with @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]], who pointed out that we do actually have a rule against such outlets instituted in the “no schadenfreude” post: > We are also banning low effort news or fake news. This could be news which is not adding anything new at all or is a copy of a copy of a copy (and bad one). Please try to fetch original sources. This is just to maintain a standard. This does not restrict you from posting a news which is targeted at a small group, or is published by a small group which may not be publishing a very fancy, furnished looking posts. Essentially - a no fluff rule. This applies very much to www.utubepublisher.in [http://www.utubepublisher.in] . I’ve added a mention of the above rule to the sidebar, and please take care to not post articles like that of this outlet from now on. Instead, post the original sources of the article topic, even if they are videos.
