Let’s welcome the new moderators of c/politics.
Jesus, I’m going to block this community, this is going to be like reddit all over again, look at the history…
this is going to be like reddit all over again
I wonder if that’s the idea.
Awards when
Where do we go to? This community is fucked.
Make your own? If so many people don’t like it, move to another one.
Well this sub is fucked.
The new mod just defended Trump calling nazis “very fine people.”
A civility rule attached to a community that regards platforming fascist misinformation as an obligation just results in mods bending over backwards to make things comfortable for fascists. We’ve all seen this shit happen on reddit, and I for one don’t have the energy to participate in such a community here. I see no reason to provide content to help such a community flourish.
Any suggestions on another politics community that isn’t hell-bent on becoming r/anothernazibar?
Well I can say lemmy.ml and lemmygrad will never allow Nazis to proliferate on their instances, but people are convinced they’re “tankies”, so I guess the question is would you rather deal with communists or fascists?
I’m kinda dumbfounded that no one’s hosting one over on blahaj.
I think being called lemmygrad Is a bit of a hint at maybe being tankies
After further questioning from the reporter, and responses from Trump about people who were at the Charlottesville rally to support keeping the Lee statue, the president said, “You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”
All those who marched in the rally marched in a nazi rally. If you march in a nazi rally in 2017, it’s because you’re a nazi.
Trump said the side that was all nazis included very fine people. This bit:
But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.
was a lie.
So not a single person in that rally was just a white nationalist, every participant must have been a national socialist? If so, prove it. If not then you were the liar in this instance, not Trump.
Trump is clearly a moron, a narcisist, he’s probably a sociopath and he’s definitely a curse on the globe and on US politics specifically. Still, for some reason, people keep dragging up misleading and false quotes to try to condemn him, instead of just pointing to his actual words and actions, which are just as bad as the imagined ones.
And then they wonder why the left is failing and Trump remains popular, as if the answer wasn’t staring back at them from the mirror…
So not a single person in that rally was just a white nationalist, every participant must have been a national socialist?
They were marching with obvious nazis. They were nazis. It’s not that hard to comprehend.
Not like there’s much of a fucking difference between nazis and nazis who want to be called by a name they think is somehow better.
You’re missing my point entirely. If you want to criticize someone then you need to be better than them. More accurate, more truthful and more levelheaded. If you just go down on their level and fling the same dirt around as them - like you’re doing - then you’ve accomplished nothing and you’ll convince no one.
If you want to criticize someone then you need to be better than them.
Well, they’re nazis and I’m not. So mission fucking accomplished.
Where did Trump call nazis “very fine people?”
Found the next mod.
Err… can you find me a source?
Lol.
Edit: 2 dislikes in 10 minutes. Still no source, lol. Yeah. Glad we have these mods.
still waiting on source
Here ya go. The article also mentions many of the garbage pro-nazi arguments that nazi sympathizers are using in this very thread.
Poorly written article, but if what they claim is true then that’s messed up.
Do you think they’re going to overmoderate?
Can’t you just block the people you don’t want to interact with?
Remember to wait 30 minutes after eating before moderating, otherwise you’ll get a cramp.
Welcome and good luck, I’m sure it’s bound to get rowdy around here.
As with any controversial subjects, it is bound to get rowdy at times.
Also, it is 98, not 68. :)
Sorry man, it’s my bad just some vision issues.
No problem at all.
Lucky we can edit headlines
Thanks I actually thought it was reddit and its permanent but now it’s corrected.
Since transitioning from reddit and twitter to lemmy and mastodon little things like that remind me why I switched.
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.
Sadly, that’s pretty typical everywhere.
Welcome to politics.
Unless something is being passed, it’s all just theater.
Welcome! I hope your job is not too difficult.
Have you made a decision on all the applications from the last request thread?
Yes, right now we need two moderators but towards winters, we’ll start looking for more applications due to, well presidental election next year and we gotta be prepared.
Gotcha, thanks for the reply
Thank y’all for stepping up, gonna be wild goin into election season. Good luck!
True, early 2024 or december of 2023 we gonna get that train ready and try to hire way more moderators as we were limited by applications but by that time I hope way more apply as it’s going to be hell in comments.
Welcome to the crew!
Thank you!
Good luck.
Hopefully this team will be less biased than the mods over at /r/politics.
Judging by the unfounded anger from the neurotics in this comment section, you’re doing something right.
That’s the goal, no echo chamber allowed. That’s one different between us and r/politics.
I like that.
