Mod removals should link to this automatically and be more transparent for why comments were removed in the first place

I linked to the modlog through Lemmy World’s instance of Tesseract. I’m the dev of that UI, and I agree with you that removal reasons should be more accessible.

A version or two ago I built in a feature to automatically resolve the removal reason and append it where the comment would be, right there in the comment section. If that’s disabled, there’s a button to take you to the modlog for that item.

If Tesseract isn’t your cup of tea, maybe ask the dev of your client to add a similar feature.

They’re literally in the modlog - all you have to do is look.

I never said they don’t deserve human rights. I’ve said they are not human.

That’s literally dehumanizing. I don’t know how you think there’s a difference. If you decree that someone is not human, then what else can you possibly call that?

Why are you tolerant of nazis enough…

I’m not. That’s just the conclusion you jumped to because I modded you for dehumanizing people in the same way the ones you have such strong opinions about have done. Again, yes, the paradox of tolerance exists, but it is not a blank check for that kind of behavior.

The paradox of tolerance doesn’t say shit about adopting the tactics of your perceived enemies (dehumanizing people to justify jailing them or worse) nor does it condone it. It also does not give one a pass to advocate violence against people one accuses of being part of the not-tolerated group.

Again, if the populace of Lemmy didn’t jump straight to “You’re a nazi/bootlicker” as a default method of disagreement, these kinds of comments could be taken differently.

If you convince the public that one group is undeserving of human rights, then it’s easier to convince them of the next group. It’s also incredibly easy to expand the first group you’ve already dehumanized to include even more people than it did before.

Even if you think nazi’s don’t deserve human rights, what definition of nazi are you using? On the internet, especially Lemmy, people will take each other out of context, call each other nazis over the slightest disagreement and then strut around like they’ve somehow won the debate.

You say nazis don’t deserve human rights but then people go around calling each other nazis over nothingburger disagreements which, according to your logic, immediately revokes their human rights.

And the jump to “the mods must be fascist supporters” is an absolute dive straight into insane troll logic.

Looking at the modlog, it was because the comment section was turning into a lynch mob, frothing at the mouth, and calling for more and more intense violence. Hiding behind “I’m totally joking, but…” isn’t the magic shield you think it is.

No, this isn’t Reddit, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to platform calls for violence and extremism.

If we really want to make sure that never happens again, that award should be $314.6m each.

Appreciate it!

Per rule 4, can you please correct the post title to match that of the source article? We do not allow editorializing in the post titles.

Thanks.

The crackdown came after California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, filed an emergency request to block the Trump administration from using military forces to accompany Ice officers on raids throughout LA.

It could also be said that this is to protect them against military forces while that is being worked out. Lesser of two evils and all that. Better to be arrested locally than shot :shrug:

They buried the lede pretty deep, but the makeup bit is just a lead-in to coverage of the trade agreement struck with Japan’s Nippon Steel.
