They allow dis- & misinformation on a news community and threaten you when you report even the most obvious Tankie propaganda, which is why I blocked it. Not the only dumb take I've seen from them.
The called out mod specifically is the worst culprit. I guarantee if their mod privileges were revoked 85% of the bad rep .world gets would vanish.
.world has a bad rep?
Yeah, but I'm not convinced it's anyone in particular to blame. I think it's mostly because it's the biggest instance. That's just my take. I don't necessarily think the folks you're responding to would agree.
I think a lot of instances have a bad rep with users of at least one instance just because so many instances are ideologically similar.
That's what I believed it to be. Still better than .ml which is where I was before.
it's where most people flocked to during Da Great Reddit Exodus, so there's a lot of latent redditor behavior there. Anecdotally, my Lemmy experience has gotten significantly better after I started blocking every .world channel on sight.
I've been threatened/banned for calling out propaganda too
You should reach out to lemmy.world's admins about the situation, explain the problem to them and they might be able to help with it. I'd recommend doing the same thing any time an issue comes up around this particular mod. Eventually they'll get enough complaints and he'll be given the boot from those communities by the administration.
This is an idea most people will agree with, but few if any will actually do.
Can we all actually do this? I don't think they should be banned, but maybe ask that they shouldn't be a mod.
I don't really think people should be banned for it unless it's something awful they are doing, like using their community to spread hate and banning people who criticize or try to stop them. However I don't think the fear of getting them banned should stand in the way of reporting their wrongful behavior to the admins. They need to know about this, and if they choose to ban the guy, that's their decision. The best thing is that they deal with the problem and stop it from continuing to happen.
Look at the users post history, they'll randomly accuse users who aren't frothing at the mouth to invade China or expressing enough hatred of the USSR of supporting genocide. Do you really think they're insufficiently anticommunist?
Huh..?
