I think we are very much in agreement. I don’t read a lot of what goes on in Showerthoughts. I would rather let people sort out their differences. Several users reported the thread, meaning that they wanted a moderator to take action.

If someone prefers zero moderation then they will need to look outside of Lemmy.world.

You should be able to see all the reports against you here: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=13046809

I observe two things about your comment.

1. You have an unpopular opinion of JK Rowling. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to support people with unpopular opinions, like yours.
2. The comment is written in a way that not only states your opinion but is aggressive towards the other users. In isolation this comment isn’t too bad but in the context of your other comments there is a trend of agression that stirs up more aggression. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to avoid aggression towards users.

These two points are at odds. I originally removed your comment, you didn’t like that, you sent me a DM, so I tried this approach.

If you were in my shoes, how would you resolve the conflict created by observations 1 & 2?

What is bullshit? Im open to criticism. I am open to conversations.

Mod here. This thread devolved and reports were flying around so now it’s gone.

It was kicked off with the above comment. rainrain asked a question. If we assume the best intentions, it is a reasonable question but it could be interpreted as being hostile.

Leraje did a good job answering the question in a kind way.

In general, please approach opposing ideas with curiosity not hostility. We are all on the same team, we are all working together to build a better internet.

I try to write good documentation, but when introducing someone for the first time I try to talk them through the documentation. Turns out my documentation could always use some improvements and it helps them feel comfortable with the documentation so they can reference back to it more easily.

Good point… I assumed an armory would be more guarded than a modern gun store, but maybe not much

Well technically for a very busy bee. Great photo!

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry was among the last in a series of events that led to the American Civil War.[230] Southern slaveowners, hearing initial reports that hundreds of abolitionists were involved, were relieved the effort was so small, but feared other abolitionists would emulate Brown and attempt to lead slave rebellions.[231] Future Confederate President Jefferson Davis feared “thousands of John Browns”.[232] Therefore, the South reorganized the decrepit militia system. These militias, well-established by 1861, became a ready-made Confederate army, making the South better prepared for war.[233]

Yeah, this takes some time to settle in for me

Beautiful

This is good.

It’s a shame that Europe did feel the need to compete with the US administration by gutting it’s auditing of sustainability https://www.esgtoday.com/eu-parliament-agrees-to-delay-sustainability-reporting-and-due-diligence-laws/

Chai uses quite a lot of ginger, and is amazing.

Does the capitalization of lemmysilver matter? Can it be Lemmysilver, LemmySilver, lemmysilver, LeMmYsIlVeR?

I’m a mod here. While it’s not one of my favorites, it does follow the format pretty well. I try to use Rule 1 sparingly.

It’s a bad look to shutdown critics. I think the votes and comments are doing a good job of bringing perspective to OP’s opinion.

You can block entire instances. You should be able to find it in the settings in your Lemmy app. I know Tesseract and Voyager let you edit it. I think you can also filter by keywords.

I moderate showerthoughts.

I certainly don’t know everything but I’m very sure I can’t edit other people’s posts.

If a post is questionable, then I try to message people and talk it out. We are all human.

Some people wish we moderated more aggressively to keep the post quality higher, others, like yourself wish there was less moderation. I try to leave things up unless there is an obvious violation, I try to apply the rules fairly, I am human.
