Do you have a source for this? Reddit’s mods on big or politically-or-commercially-relevant subs were very clearly compromised, but I hadn’t seen any indication of that on lemmy.world and I was kind of hoping that it would be a lot more resistant.
Do you have an example or two? I know the lemmy.ml mods are shit, that is not news to me, but I haven’t seen this happen on lemmy.world that I can remember.
I don’t actually think so. I mean, I don’t agree with removing it as in my view it contributes positively to the discussion, but it’s definitely a repost. Removing it doesn’t seem obviously malicious to me.
Personally my feeling is that it’s probably just because of mods having to deal with a tidal wave of malicious crap on any given day and so developing a short fuse for anything that looks bad-adjacent. To me, the underlying issue is that you have to have mods in this sort of underappreciated volunteer / unelected dictator role, where those two roles don’t synergize well with each other, and neither one is really a balanced way of hitting the mark of what’s needed.
But it is technically true that my stuff was just a copypasta becoming a low-effort fixture on several posts, and I do think your posts getting personally insulting and specifically accusing some of the probably-shills of being Russian assets when you don’t really know, were a little out of line. IDK. Mostly I just think the whole model of “we have to have a person in the background deciding what statements are reasonable to be allowed and not” isn’t the right way to go about it.
Quite a few instances block lemmy.world because it’s so overrun by shouty accounts with bad opinions as to be a significant problem.
lemmy.world mods are also compromised. They’re just more subtle about it than lemmygrad et al.

Comments with blatant falsehoods? Cool. Comments calling out those falsehoods? Removed by mod, rule 3
