lemmy.world/c/politicalmemes mods ban people for reports but not for violating rules

Hey,

I think it would be best if you guys stopped responding to each other on this post: https://alexandrite.app/lemmy.world/post/11141507 The many many reports you have made do not qualify for removal. Calling someone a fed is not a personal attack, you are, however abusing the reporting system. I don’t want to have to take action so this is your warning to stop reporting things that aren’t actual rule violations. Also it seems like your argument is pretty circular now, continueing will probably lead one or both of you to some action that will result in concequences you may not want.

As always we want to keep things on the rails as much as possible it is not our place to silence people you don’t agree with or try to cool opposing viewpoints.


calling someone a fed is literally an ad hominem: it attempts to undermine their position not by dealing with their actual claims but, instead, by implying that they are a bad person. either the rule should not be written as it is or you are not enforcing it properly.

  • I’ve never even heard of someone being called a “fed”. Like a secret federal agent is my best guess?

    • in organizing circles, it's called "snitchjacketing". it's cointelpro

      • Huh, that’s an odd accusation. I figured you were just one of those “all mainstream politicians are bad, so vote for someone with absolutely no chance of winning!!” people because you don’t comprehend how elections work in the US.
