Why do they consider racism, orientalism and lies disputed long ago “valid criticism”. Not even mentioning the lack of humility or a will to learn, just constant snarkiness, smugness and an unrelenting feeling of superiority. Just please, engage with us on equal terms and don’t be dismissive.
Edit: Don’t go into the comments if you value your day…
Yup, seen that thread. I reported some users calling Russians “orcs” and i was actually chastised in PM by mod who apparently think it is normal exchange of political opinions.
EDIT: And while the dehumanisation, bigotry, racism, orientalism etc. etc. comments still stands, this happens:
BuGiJu was doing a great job of contributing constructively from what I remember. Absolute bullshit on the mods’ part. StalinsMoustache was correct but a bit low-effort and antagonistic, so it was to be expected (though I obviously don’t support it).
At least it was only two days for the former, but still bullshit
They are also doubling down:

Afaik that particular mod begged himself into modding today and immediately start banning ML’s, exactly what ultras always do on reddit.

Wow, that’s pretty pathetic
*20 days
it was 2 days for the former (BuGiJu), 20 for the latter
The problem is mostly 196.
Also some instances like lemmy.world seem to just approve anybody who’s making a request to join. So all the idiots go there and then spread to other instances.
Wouldn’t be surprised if some of what’s happening is part of a psyop.
