Is it just me, or are lots of mods just banning anyone with a dissenting opinion?
I like to be a bit contrarian, play devil’s advocate, stuff like that, so sometimes I know what I post isn’t going to jive with the community I’m posting in, but I think there’s value in that. It starts a discussion and it offers a different pov.
Maybe I’m wrong and stupid, and someone can reply and explain why. I think that would be a net benefit. But what happens instead is my post gets deleted and I get banned. :/
I genuinely think this is a real issue and it leads to echo chambers, but am curious to see what other ppl think? Am I just salty? :)
It’s a toggle on the current version.
I am pretty sure that toggle is currently broken and does nothing.
I just checked and it does work for me just by visiting the site without logging in. It changes between “username” and “mod”
Odd, it doesn’t work here on our instance.
Could be because your instance is so big. I have a new instance with only a few users which is not federated.
