Pretty hilarious thread of the usual wacko banning people while admitting that they allowed the same behavior for kissinger. Many people point out the arbitrary, subjective nature. Many people banned. Thread locked.

    jordanlund is a hypocritical, irrational, corporate-bootlicking shill, and archetype of the duplicitious performative liberal. They have literally and unironically argued that only corporate and billionaire-owned media qualify as “news.” Their opinions and actions are worth less than dirt and they should be removed and barred from every community they have privilege in.

    Ptb.

    This is maybe the hundredth misbehavior by the same person. It’s gotten boring to read these. But it’s not usually the same people being hurt. Instead, it’s a new batch of victimized commentators each time.

    At this point, it’s more interesting to wonder how that community, or any community run by him, still has enough traffic to generate outrage.

    I wonder if he plays the role of scary predator in this lemmy ecosystem, driving engagement and eating the newborn or vulnerable posters, somehow and mysteriously keeping this place more healthy than not?

      More than likely. @jordanlund@lemmy.world has proven themselves to be pretty consistent and generally even handed with this for the most part. Whether or not you agree with the rule.

      It’s not even a new rule or the first time it’s been protested here. If anyone feels it isn’t being applied fairly, make sure to report those that aren’t being caught. Then there would be something to complain about.

      Reminder, this is the feddi. If the rule is that egridious, you can create your own community.

      There are several similar communities already. Whatever Jordan and crew are doing over there seems to work for a lot of people. Make of that what you will.

        I’m so frustrated. You’re totally correct, this whole post is one fair and completely accurate point, but I’m still so… frustrated.

        Yeah so consistent. He admitted that he temporally suspended the rule for Kissinger. He is very dogmatic too

        Reminder, this is the feddi. If the rule is that egridious, you can create your own community.

        I hate this argument a lot. Yeah you can use other communities because of the decentralization. It still doesn’t solve the network effect, most people keep posting on the biggest communities. I think big communities should have a voting systems to replace mods or keep them every year. I also have my own community so I am not just a complainer

          They openly made an exception one time. That doesn’t seem very inconsistent. I agree that if you’re going to have rules and if those rules are supposed to be important. You shouldn’t be making it exceptions to them. It weakens them. But a lot of other people outside Kissinger have died. And there haven’t been any more exceptions that I’m aware of. I’m also not claiming total awareness either. If there are others point them out. That’s valid criticism.

          Hate the argument all you want. Network effect is just an excuse not to try. That world news community wasn’t the first was it? Didn’t it face the network effect itself? I 100% use smaller communities in a number of instances to combat such effects. And I’m far from the only one.

            Like I said I am trying and many other does it . It still a fact network effects exists and people gravitate to the biggest communities even if they don’t like the mod . I believe the lemmy.world worldnews is the second created worldnews community after the ml one which is managed by pro russia mods

              Remind me again why we are down voting each other? We seem to be having a pretty reasonable conversation overall I think.

              I’ve certainly never denied the existence of the network effect. Look for yourself you won’t find it. But it’s not just the network effect. I think plenty of people generally prefer not to have things generally give way into celebration of death and general hate parties. Especially when it comes to larger communities. It’s probably a general bonus not to have it for them. To be frank I’m not really aware of many larger communities that don’t have that at least as a unspoken if not enumerated rule. And honestly for myself that’s fine. I have no shortage of places I can go to do that sort of thing if I want to on the fediverse. Though ironically for that very reason many of them are fairly small.

              I’m not saying Lund is perfect by any stretch. I don’t think any of us are. That this is getting a bit of a ridiculous dead horse to keep beating. That’s a completely different issue. Also with respect to the network effect. With Lemmy 1.0 looking to have crosspost grouping/consolidation IIRC. The network effect is about to get a lot weaker regardless.

      Why that idiotic mod has so much power on lemmy? I wish the biggest communities would have voting system for mods. We could vote for new mods and vote for removing unpopular modd

          On first read of your comment I was apprehensive about having a community vote on what gets removed, considering the amount of non-rule breaking reports I get based on personal griefs. But, the minimum vote threshold and mod rankings help to negate that effect.

          I’d like to see how that works on Lemmy.

        You could bring it up with the instance admins, but they fully support him too.
