Did you know: you know you can just say you didn't read the comment?

It'd be much faster and way easier on everyone else to know to discard your input!

Followup to my other comment, I remembered reading a comment chain earlier about this very issue

Ahh I see what you mean.

Honestly it comes down more to the fact that nobody else stepped up to mod before the drama.

A holdover from reddit culture is having a tight knit group of mods for each community, when it could very well be more open than that.

For example the /c/Trans comm here and /c/traa on hexbear.

/c/Trans here did open recruitment a while ago and pretty much anybody that was interested got added to the team and subsequently the matrix chat.

Hexbears /c/traa will add pretty much anyone that's been active in the community and is trans in order to have moderation available around the clock. As a result any bad apples are culled asap, and the community is much better for it.

I do agree that there could be something that isn't so top heavy though, but I'm not personally sure what such a system would look like.

Disengage.

You can look it up bud i don't really give a shit what the guy who popularized the term 'brigading' thinks.

edit: Wrong person, sorry.

Don't do that tbh, the people that were banned were mostly banned for being aggressive towards the viewpoints shared here. The community will only get MORE argumentative.

People were banned for bringing liberalism where it's explicitly stated to not be allowed.

The sentence was confusing because it's the complete opposite of what actually happened.

Unless soulism preaches a different definition of liberalism, because midtraveler also has a strange definition of liberalism.

If you knew doing nothing would kill a million people, and doing something would kill a thousand, would you let a million die to keep the blood off your hands?

So which tenet of soulism decides which group of people is worth genociding for another?

the community ended up banning people for [...] enforcing liberalism.

That's because this explicitly goes against rules 2 and 5

No defending oppressive systems or organizations

No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities. Anyone that supports the mass murder of civilians will be banned.
