See, Lemmy is a relatively small platform. There are pretty few active users here. Moderators should occasionally bend the rules if people are having fun and post or comment is in good faith. We shouldn’t moderate like robots; if I wanted that, I’d use Reddit or another meta platform. If we start banning every user and blocking each other, this place will become quiet and lonely. We should act like a community, not a big shitty corpo social media platform.

I made this post after some incidents like @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world banning @tal@lemmy.today on !outofcontextcomics@lemmy.world for posting intentionally funny comics. I know I know rule say comic should be unintentionally funny. Also, Ban of @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz on !touhou@lemmy.world by @vbb@lemmy.world for posting a NSFW (Not really) post without NSFW tag unintentionally.

Also, my comment on news of archive.org getting hacked and DDOS. (I said “People who are doing this fucking die”) on !technology@lemmy.world. I know, my comment is not in good faith but I have no sympathy for people who want to destroy information and knowledge.

    LMAO, This post get removed on !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world.

    Reason: Rule 4: This is not a forum to complain about moderation actions/policies in other communities. Rules exist for a reason, and even though communities and user bases may be small, it is no reason to invite anarchy.

    Yea, That was my entire point. We should bend rule sometime. I am not saying just go full blown Anarchy-No Rule. If someone is fucking Nazi we should ban them immediately.
