Let’s welcome the new moderators of c/politics.
Well this sub is fucked.
Did you even look at their post histories or just add the first people to volunteer?
One of them is running around this sub right now arguing for the dismantling of public education because they didn’t enjoy highschool
Edit:
The top mod started pming me…
Apparently he just accepted the only people who said they wouldn’t remove disinformation because that would primarily effect “the right”
Only two did and we chose them, wish we had more not trying to censor the right since some were saying “I’ll remove disinformation and etc.” Which violates one of our policy in giving the right a voice since look disinformation may be bad, but removing them is censorship and our goal is not to reform that echo chamber that was r/politics

This community is fucked.
No one is going to become a mod here unless they agree to let people spread propaganda…
20 years old, no job, far right and emotional unstable. I think we got the perfect candidate!
I’m not far-right. I have a job.
https://lemmy.world/comment/1093566
Yeah I guess. I’ve only been able to get internships- good internships. But I’ve never been able to get a real job
Maybe I misinterpreted that.
What’s with all the comments about closing public schools and calling clearly fascist movements as “christian moralists”.
Currently working a good internship. Also, talk about stalking!
Edit: I also never advocated closing public schools. I advocated making them voluntary.
Edit 2: I have also been offered a few jobs but are not feasible for me since I want to live near my partner.
I wouldn’t consider it stalking but a background-check.
This community could (/will) become the biggest political forum on the web. Wouldn’t you want to know who moderates it?
You can go through my post history, nothing to hide. I don’t consider it stalking but a feature.
We will follow your journey with great interest.
Of course you’re free to, it’s just I’d argue a rude thing to do to instead of judging someones actions you criticized them for being vulnerable in a completely different context days ago.
I mean how else people’s gonna know who has the moral high ground am I rite
I wouldn’t consider it stalking but a background-check.
And why does dissent automatically fail the background check in your book?
“They’re not christofascists, they’re Christian moralists” ^^1 is a disturbingly far right position post Charlottesville, Dobbs, and all the state laws persecuting trans people that have been passed recently.
I will say, I haven’t seen a moderation level action yet that seems horribly wrong, but I feel like that’s only going to be a matter of time
^^1 Paraphrased, not a direct quote
e; I apparently can’t figure out superscript text
The Charlottesville people are largely fascists, but they also don’t have that much influence in American politics. Dobbs is not a fascist position. I personally support abortion access- but there is nothing in the Constitution to protect it. As for state laws persecuting trans people I actually have looked that much into what’s passed, I’ve just seen rhetoric. Can you point me to some of the laws that’re chrisofascist?
The Charlottesville people are largely fascists
They were all fascists, and everything else you said is, at best, so deeply ignorant that I don’t think I’ve got the time or mental energy to point out how dumb and dangerous this refusal to see what should be obvious to everyone is. I strongly encourage you to step down as a moderator of this community and strongly encourage anyone who approved your being made a mod to do the same.
They were all fascists
Every single one there? I do not think you could possibly know that.
dumb and dangerous this refusal to see what should be obvious to everyone is.
Ironically what I said in my mod application is:
“I fully accept that people can and do hold opposing opinions to me, yet might be smarter, more informed, or more moral than me. I may still disagree with them but being wrong isn’t evil.”
Do you think I(or anyone) could disagree with you on anything without you automatically assuming they are less informed, stupider, or evil?
Every single one there? I do not think you could possibly know that.
The counterprotesters weren’t. If you’re marching and nazis show up to march with you and you don’t drive them off or leave yourself, you’re ok marching with nazis. The term for someone who is ok marching with nazis is “a nazi.”
Also, one thing that’s great about lemmy is the public modlog- I think its valuable for a community to be able see mod abuse and call it out.
Is there something glitchy going on or is this community’s modlog supposed to just say “mod” did everything?
Oh oops, I had assumed it showed individual mod names to non-mods as it does to mods. It’s interesting because the public api actually does say the mod names So, its either a bug in the web API or in the backend.
Fair enough, there’s still a lot of weird little details to get ironed out, and we do at least have a modlog (which is a big advantage over reddit)
Thanks for the reply and that link
Yeah, I will look at it and see if I can fix it myself. And definitely the modlog is a big advantage.
So business as usual lmao
No, it’s worse…
The top mode just pm’ed me saying he only accepted people who said they wouldn’t remove disinformation.
Because that would mean more conservative comments got removed, and apparently that’s biased and not what this sub is for.
One of them is running around this sub right now arguing for the dismantling of public education because they didn’t enjoy highschool
There’s a bit more to it than that, but yeah. The part you missed though is that I never advocated dismantling it- I advocated it being voluntary.
Thanks for stepping up. Hopefully you guys can improve the quality of this community. Right now it mostly tabloid-esque articles that appeal to people’s hate boners. Not much political substance.
