Get out of the holodeck, Lt Broccoli

The open mod logs are fucking amazing.

This is the funniest shit I've seen today lmao.

You see that OP had started the whole argument too? They brought up Discovery in a Strange New worlds episode discussion. Said the episode was the anti of what the discovery creator wanted and then stated all the bigotry shit when asked to explain.

Because people can have their own community, just like on reddit?

Never was questioning that. Was more a comment on the small size of the userbase, and how it's led to some created communities that ended up dead fast as some communities haven't had the numbers to sustain activity. By all means there's nothing preventing people from doing what they want.

Just a observation pondering about what can be done to help activity of created communities taking into consideration the decentralized nature of the fediverse.

My experience with the /r/startrek mods is that while they aren't super transparent, their actions are usually justified.

A lot of people who get banned for "the wrong opinions" aren't banned for their opinion, they are banned fro their aggressive behavior. Some people want a space where they can be loud and angry, and those mods don't want to provide that space. I'm fine with that. I don't like communities where I log in and the top posts are always people loudly making the same complaints day in and day out. Plenty of negative opinions and discussion were allowed on /r/startrek, as long as it was kept civil and constructive.

Just a few weeks ago we ran into this on tildes, a site not even dedicated to star trek. We had someone complaining about the /r/startrek mods, then going on to post really angry yet lazy comments about Star Trek that do not fit the Tildes community guidelines. They were asked to straighten up. It's not about the opinions, it's about the behavior.

The com at the time was dominated by discussion of the Prodigy cancellation, so it was a relevant topic and not being overly critical for the sake of being overly critical. It presented an opinion of the cancelation that wasnt predicting doom and gloom for the franchise like the mod line being pushed at the time.

Even if it isn't substantial, why isn't there a list of blocked domains? Or a rule about it? It could have spurred a discussion in the comments, what makes a community forum like this so special. The point is it didn't violate any community standards. Then when I tried to open a discussion about it to try and refine the rules/community standards moving forward (early days of reddit emigration) I was permabanned for starting drama.

I'm not looking for a com where everyone is super critical. I am looking for one where mods are acting as petty little tyrants banning well meaning contributors because they don't have the exact same opinion on certain things as they do.

The mods are more interested in the reddit community and it shows. It's clear Lemmy is downstream of reddit to them.
