anything it recommends suffers from being sourced in a void, devoid of true meaning.

You just described most of reddit, anything Meta, and what most reviews are like.

I still want to block threads, but I’m glad you found one that suits you.

It’s a little disheartening to hear, tbh. I’ve always thought of all of the instances as hobbyists just doing their thing, but we don’t really know. I do know now that the LW admins can be trolls, I don’t know if Ruud is one of them or doesn’t have the time to check on them though.

Oh, I’m sure there’s all sorts of stuff going on that’s not obvious. So long as it STAYS that way, I’m OK with it. :)

I can see why you wouldn’t want to know. But as a user, I want to be able to not have to check if things are deleted or modified for no reason. Good luck for next year, it’s going to get crazy I’m sure.

I’m replying to comments that I wanted to talk to bruh, good to know you’re keeping track, lol.

I get it and that’s why I think you’re doing a good job. Not a fan of modding in general and I have mad respect for those who do it well. I am not thrilled with the Lemmy World admins.

When I say curate, I’m being very generous. I’m saying delete comments that they don’t agree with or want seen.

This feels even worse than reddit.

Yep, and that’s really hard to do. I’ve deleted all my comments on politics and have moved away.

There is some meta drama with the admins that’s going on that isn’t obvious. I agree with you in normal circumstances.

Thanks for explaining that. That’s why I’m weirded about the lemmy world admins, that’s what happened to me from them. They then show a thread where the original comment was changed. I trust you guys, not the lemmy world admins. I think you guys have been and could continue to be doing a great job and then they can come in and change whatever on a whim, like they just did. I really liked this community and the way you ran it, sad to go.

Edit: When I say “just did”, I mean how they changed a comment and then linked to it as evidence with the entire attitude of a troll. The mod being removed seemed justified.

I have no idea who changed it, but I know it was. I know how this is going to play out and you guys have proven yourself to me that I should at the very least, not trust you. It’s not a huge deal, you just lost me and no one is probably reading this far. I know what happened and you guys trying to belittle it or make it sound like I’m trying to do something, I have no idea what, makes me know you guys are exactly like reddit admins/mods. I’m done with that. Bye.

Says the guy that posted to a comment that was modified. I hate being a mod, it was great here until you ruined it. I like how you dodged the question twice now about whether or not you’re going to curate in the future, not currently.

That was not the original words he used, it was much more in the tone of your first message, so it’s been changed. Meaning, someone changed it to make it sound better. I didn’t know I needed to take screenshots, but then again, I don’t. I’m just not going to be hanging around here anymore.

One last question before I go. Again, what are your plans for curating in the future?

To be sure, you have 2.270 comments, what comments you mean? and the comments can just be from blocked users, or from a language you dont have. or i still dont understand from who it comes those comments. And every action is logged in the modlogs.

This is not the original but okay. Have a great day.

What are your plans about stepping in in the future? When my comments were disappearing and no one deleted their comments, one of your admins was pretty aggressive and also seems to have been lying about what can and can’t happen on the admin side. I don’t have trust in you guys right now and as I said, your first comment’s tone was pretty shitty here as well. I would prefer not to start up the shitjustworks politics community, but as you can tell, I’m ready to go if I have to. TBF, it probably wouldn’t be a threat to you or the others anyway. But why do you guys care so much about being the biggest or only one to go to? It’s odd. The defensiveness and aggressiveness don’t fit and aren’t necessary.

I mean, your tone is kind of on display right here. From the other thread, you took a mod away which is completely understood. Here, the mod posting this is saying you’re working together. My actual, real concern is that you guys are curating or planning to curate what you want shown like the old place used to do. It’s not a known thing, it’s a concern and you guys don’t do anything to alleviate it.

And what concern would that be? We can not be involved at all? I think we are pretty hands-off. We took action when a moderator broke the site rules.

That’s good to hear. I’m more concerned about how much Lemmy World admins are involved, I left lemmy world for a reason.

I’m probably going to move to another politics community then. I thought they took the old site’s politics and made it less antagonistic here. I don’t like that the admins of lemmy world are involved either. You seem like you want to do well, but I have real concerns now. I might start one on sh.itjust.works and keep the energy that was here.

Sort of, they are considering it, but I think they’re going to keep him on the ballot by what their officials are saying.
