If you’re interested in assisting moderation of any of the communities I moderate/own shoot me a message.
I mean, I’m not leaning more one way than the other, it just seemed like a reasonable proposal to put it all under one roof. I consulted the community for a reason, it isn’t just my opinion that matters regardless. Thank you for the input.
That’s fair, but do you really feel there needs to be two co-existing communities for the same thing with less than 5k people in this one?
I am actually the one that gave you PS5 haha, but thanks for the input
May I ask when you were banned? Because YoBuckStopsHere only recently became the owner of the community, it may have been the prior mods/owners that did it.
They want an echo chamber, and that’s not how political news works.
I whole heartedly agree.
He’s been banned and (most) of the comments removed.
I mean, modlogs on LW are publicly viewable, feel free to check mine out where you’ll see I did not ban you from anything.
I didn’t ban you, an admin did, but you can go on making yourself look stupid.
If enforcing instance-wide rules is an issue for you, I have bad news about any forums you choose to join in the future.
Not only is it against instance rules, but the comment was reported multiple times for being hateful and offensive, if it doesn’t personally offend you that is wonderful, it doesn’t change the bigoted nature of the word, and that it does offend some people.
Can you reword your comment to remove the word “retarded” please? Otherwise, I have to remove it as the admins have made it clear that this word is not welcome here due to its bigoted, hateful, and potentially offensive nature, and the use of the word as an insult is discouraged.
Sure, there isn’t much activity to moderate tbh, but I can add you if you link me to a post or comment you’ve made within the community.

I feel like Chicago isn’t bad enough to be #30, they’re going to shock some people it seems
DK Country on SNES is one of my all-time favorite games that I continually go back and play. I remember the bliss I felt when I finally beat it, which seemed impossible to 4yo me.
I’m pretty sure I can farm lives on the first level with my eyes closed with how many times I’ve ran it
Received reports for the source-- as usual, these are evaluated on a case-by-case basis as FoxNews is not currently “blacklisted”, it’s just “not-preferred”. After comparing this article to the one in the comments, they contain basically the same information and the conclusion is this particular post will be allowed to stay up. Many of the other links from Fox News have been taken down, not entirely because of the outlet, but because the content of the article went off the rails and did not match what other outlets had reported. If you have any discrepancies feel free to comment or tag me.
We respect that users may not want to click on links leading to Fox News, so as always we do encourage people to continue to post links to other outlets in the comments if you disagree with the source of any post (as ZephyrXero did here).
You’re all good, no worries.
Antik is one of the admins of lemmy.world. He holds administrative authority over the entire forum rather than being specifically involved as a moderator here. He could have removed the comment himself, but he chose to request you change it instead (which I would have also done, had he not already handled it).
As a moderator of this community, I’d like to express our shared sentiment. The use of the term “retard” as an insult is something we discourage. Its appropriateness in language has evolved over time, and it’s increasingly considered inappropriate due to its derogatory associations, regardless of its original meaning. Language is subject to change, and words that were once commonplace are regularly perceived as offensive now. Regardless of personal views on the word, if the admins have deemed it unsuitable for use on this platform, it’s something that we will also enforce.
There is an abundance of other words that effectively convey your message.
Gotcha, yeah, many people seem on board with a merge, but given that some people aren’t and it’s not particularly close to unanimous I don’t think we will be doing it. Thanks for the feedback!
