Seeing the liberty hub head mod get chased out because of an honest mistake is pretty fucking disheartening. Liberty hub was one of the only places that was free of the reddit brainworms that infest almost every lemmy instance because of liberty hub’s aggressive modding.

All of the people celebrating him being chased out have been banned from liberty hub for very valid reasons, whether they were very argumentative or genocide apologists. Seriously. Look up the modlog of the people actually celebrating it.

I could put up with 196’s bullshit by just blocking them and hoping none of their frequent posters wandered into spaces i took part in but the fact that non-voters is still allowed to run when it’s very clearly just meant to be a place to post content that’s incendiary towards people who hold political beliefs that don’t line up with mindgoblin’s as a reaction to mindgoblin being banned from liberty hub for being incredibly argumentative is honestly pretty gross.

I’m just gonna pass mod of the comms i manage to someone i can sorta hope to handle it.

I’m too fucking old and not terminally online enough to put up with this, i’m clearly not the target demographic. Good fucking luck

      Libertyhub is/was a fairly far left community on this instance (blahaj, not the one I’m using). Not sure how long it will last now, but it still exists under a different moderator.

      By far left, I mean the global use of the term, where it tends to be pretty hard core focused on socialism, anarchism, and similar ideologies. Here in the US, far left is much closer to what other counties would call moderate (at the most generous) in comparison. Also, liberal here in the US doesn’t mean the same thing as most of the rest of the world, which is useful to know if you’re dealing with the term in leftist spaces.

        So they are leftists (who would be considered moderate leftists in Europe for example) who spread brainworms on 196? How does that fit together?

          No clue, don’t use 196, so I don’t have a frame of reference to use.

          This word has lost all meaning if you’re applying it to LibertyHub. The rules (until the new head mod “simplified and clarified” them very recently) explicitly called out Maoist apologia as being against the community guidelines.

          Not necessarily. I’m not a regular user of the C/, but it wasn’t a tankie C/ by default, and wasn’t plagued by them

      LibertyHub is an anarchist space with very heavy handed moderation and specific rules intended to promote discussion without the need to explain basic concepts of anarchism constantly. Posting neoliberal or imperialist appologetic viewpoints would get you banned on LibertyHub, so lots of people have stayed mad at their (until very recently) head mod.
