Tankie mods on world are criticized for being too tankie in moderation.
Admins try to address this by forcing mods to argue instead of immediately ban if something is posted against their beliefs.
A non-tankie mod thinks it is bullshit that they have to engage in every online argument in good faith and takes their subs (I know this isn’t the official term but it communicates the idea) dark in protest.
While I don’t agree with the ‘tankie’ rhetoric (it’s been thrown around so much that word has no meaning here), mod abuse has definitely gotten out of control across most online communities.
It’s opening up an opportunity for communities that don’t tolerate mod abuse to flourish.
The mods only have themselves to blame. Hopefully these new communities won’t repeat the same mistakes.
Why are right wingers the only ones who ever try to devalue the meaning of words?
If they don’t like being called tankies or nazis they are free to chage their beleifs, same as you if you feel like you are being grouped in for your beliefs.
It is going to be a learning experience for mods and admins on Lemmy. It took years for Reddit to cobble together a governance structure and, even then, it was really bad. I haven’t seen the devs take any stance on building tools to help and we’ve seen a lot of cases where mod abuse have been defended by admins.
This seems to be a first stab at admins taking a proactive approach to mod abuse. It is a bad policy, but at least they seem like they are trying to do something.
The term “podcast” was coined by Ben Hammersley, a BBC journalist and The Guardian columnist, in February 2004. The word is a combination of “iPod” and “broadcast”. Hammersley first used the term in an article for The Guardian.
Not that it matters, the whole .world instance is a toxic disinformation hub that should have been defederated long ago by every sane instance, but from what I’ve read it wasn’t tankies, in this case, it was vegan fundamentalists going on a ban spree (it’s far from the first time their .world community causes drama).
I don’t have a .world account. I’m commenting on lemmynsfw, which hasn’t defederated .world yet, so I got this question on my feed and my replies are getting sent back to .world through federation.
Ya bud, I understand federation. I’m just saying, you’ve commented about how much you hate .world in this thread six times, which is a lot of times, and 99% of your interactions are on .world. It’s incredibly easy to block an instance and never see it again.

Yeah, this proves my point.
I’m not a tankie, nor am I a right-winger.
Yup, when I think of tankies I think about the flat earth conspiracy. 🙄
How is tankism(???) Related to flat earthers?
Anti intellectualism

i still use sub. i dont think ill ever stop. like how podcasts are still called podcasts and they dont even make ipods anymore.
To be honest for people who didn’t use redet a lot, ‘subs’ is very confusing because it doesn’t relate to anything in the Threadyverse.
These days when I see subs I think submissives.
These days? Definitely made sense to me even back when I redditted. I am submissive to catsbeingjerks, hmmm, and Noita.
Here’s something to blow your mind: podcasts pre-date the iPod.
Excellent summary.

Why are you commenting so much on .world if you hate it this much?
I don’t have a .world account. I’m commenting on lemmynsfw, which hasn’t defederated .world yet, so I got this question on my feed and my replies are getting sent back to .world through federation.

Blocking would only help me. Defederation helps everyone.
