I don’t know who is the mod of that community, but I suspect it’s the OP of the post.
My comment was a list of problems I’ve had lately on Windoz, pointing how in my recent experience I lost more time there than on Linux for an equivalent use.
I don’t remember my exact words and now they are erased, but it went along the lines of:
I have to use Windoz for work, and lately I lost more time on it than on Linux:
I’ve had several problems with teams (audio input/output switching unintentionaly, main audio output not controlled by keys/shortcuts, freezing, not answering calls)
Copilot freezing the complete OS so that a reboot was necessary.
Unable to scroll in a Copilot thread.
Locked by Bitlocker after update.
Task scheduler losing a task after sleep.
…
So pretty much a list of actual issues I met, not exactly what I would call being an evangelist saying Linux is superior blablabla. I’ve no idea (OK, maybe I have). I simply stated facts.
Is it possible to see who the mod was? Is it a temporary ban?
It’s a shame because I precisely created this account on lemmy.zip to see all instances and communities. /shrug Funny.
Edit: sorry I forgot the post: here
And some formatting edit.
Mods don’t need to decide this. That’s what voting is for. Moderation should be reserved for harmful or abusive behavior that damages a community or user in the short time before voting solves the issue.
Not all voters are going to be community members. Lemmy has a large Linux fanboy contingent. Do they get to decide what communities are or are not allowed to exist in the fediverse?
Let’s say that someone wants to make a community to post cute dog pictures. They create a rule that all posts must be photos of dogs. Someone comes along, does not read the rules, decides that a kitten is just as cute as a puppy, and starts posting cat pics. People browsing the new posts feed are not going to be paying much attention to community names, see a cute animal photo, and upvote it. The few dog die-hards downvote the posts, but not enough to get the score into the negatives. Are you saying the mod does not have a right to delete the photos for going against the spirit of the community?
Well, in the absence of a higher power, such consensus-based practices are just your opinion about how things should be. This mod has been behaving like this for at least a year to my knowledge. I just avoid them.
