    about post admin clarification

    So, you want how things are being run today? Great. A comment was removed 22 hours ago that simply said “Luigi did nothing wrong”, and the reason given was “wrongful advocacy”. Check the modlogs.

    There is currently a mod who doesn’t understand things and is removing some comments they shouldn’t. Present tense.

      Was that from an instance admin or an overzealous community mod? I am missing some context, but generally there is no bar for entry for who gets to be a moderator and they are allowed to run their communities however they want as long as their rules don’t contradict those of the instance. I could make a community that bans people for using the word “blanket” and that’s my prerogative as long as it doesn’t violate instance rules.

      No idea why you’re being so vague…

      This?

      https://lemmy.world/comment/14592254

      Looks like a mod replied and then deleted so not sure what they said.

      But yeah, those comments don’t seem to violate .world’s TOS, and I have no idea why a mod would have deleted them. But mods can be stricter than the instance.

      I’m not sure why you’re blaming the whole instance for what one mod is doing.

      Edit:

      The thread title is “how to fight fascism” which is important context I missed earlier.

      So yeah, the first comment saying just “Luigi” could very easily be considered a call to violence. Then the next one say “did nothing wrong” also makes sense to remove.

        I’m not sure why you claim I’m being vague when I directly quote an entire comment.

        You said “it’s against the terms of service, so the comment gets removed”. I pointed to a comment that did NOT violate terms of service, but got removed. You defended the instance with a faulty statement. All I did was point it out.

        And no, it wasn’t a call to violence. If the statement was “we need more Luigis”, then THAT’s a call to violence. Just saying “he did nothing wrong” is the same as saying you hope he gets a jury nullification. It’s just taking his side.

          “Luigi” was the response to “how do we fight fascism”…

          That is the context you were avoiding by not linking.

          This isn’t an argument, I’m trying to explain something to you.

            I wasn’t talking about the “Luigi” comment. I was talking about the “did nothing wrong” comment. The “Luigi” comment can be seen as a call to violence, but the “did nothing wrong” comment was just a sign of support, not a call to violence. And the “did nothing wrong” comment was removed FIRST.

            I fully understand what you’re saying. You’re just wrong.
