Most Reddit or Lemmy mods would ban you for critiquing them too.
Mods and owners can get very emotional
There’s a chart of things that give people a feeling of power:
Banning someone as a Discord or Reddit mod has to be right up there because nothing else explains their tyrannical fiefdom-like behavior, lmao
(TLDR: A subreddit mod trying to ban a reddit admin):
To provide some relief, the best “no-u” I’ve ever been personally witness to, was one moderator who went on a power trip and mistakenly tried to mute/ban me from discus for some contrived reason, and when he enacted the policy, the group chat policy bot banned him instead – he soon afterwards realized that I was the owner of the partnered organization that was hosting the entire service
If only that could happen to Musky Husky, getting slapped in the face by the revolving door while holding his hall monitor pass
I certainly would not ban anyone critiquing me. I take it as feedback rather than a personal attack like the ones you’re referring to.
I bet you fold your socks everyday weirdo
and that is how it should be and which was also my philosophy when I held positions of authority in online communities (I don’t hold any anymore because I no longer have time to spend as much time online as I used to)
That requires quite a bit of idealism and self-reflection which is not a common trait in humans.
Oh yeah? Well your butt smells LIKE A BUTT
I’d say most mods don’t even pay attention to people critiquing them
He absolutely can. But that doesn’t make him immune to ridicule and judgement for being a cowardly racist piece of shit.
100% agree. I just find it utterly hypocritical that he proclaimed himself at “a free-speech absolutionist” and cries like a little baby the moment someone says something bad about him.
