Trying to narrow if it’s down to the app I’m using

        Shitposts often descend into a flurry of mod reports, and locking is the easy fix.

            Administration is a Sisyphean task for volunteers but you speak as if it’s a free resource.

            There’s a reason Wikipedia calls their admins “janitors”.

              So moderation is hard, so stop people from commenting on the platform entirely?

              If the administration team is incapable of moderating their space they should seek additional help or step down entirely

                Sounds like you’ve never had to be a moderator.

                This type of forum relies on volunteers. They are doing the best they can. I rarely see posts ever get locked. I’m sure this one was locked because it got out of control.

      Ah damn, they got me, they foiled my nefarious plan to comment the word test, foiled again!

      But seriously, is lemmy devolving to the point of persecuting people for thought crime?

      And if the all powerful ‘task force’ has a problem with what I was saying, they could ynow, include it in the sub rules or document it anywhere?
