Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren’t better than Liberal-capitalists ?
I am all in for stopping liberal capitalism, but I am more interested in implementing a happinex index like Buthan than living in oligarch-capitalist-regime like Russia/China
Removing under rule #2 - this is political and the question is already slanted.
Are political questions out of scope for this community? There is no rule like that in the sidebar.
In “Community Info” rule 2 says they don’t have the bandwidth to moderate political discussion.
*Not taking a side, just supplying information.
Yeah, maybe I should try to read more carefully.
I don’t even know if you’ll see this (I’m still a little fuzzy on the intricacies of federation), but it might be wise for admin/moderators to be more explicit when issuing moderator statements like this-- maybe adopt some standard that mentions the rule, and the instance or something? Just as some rando user, I had no idea what “rule 2” was for your instance. (Be respectful? Did you mean rule 4 - no politics?) Something like
Removed from wayfairershaven.eu: Politics is not allowed on this server.Also, did you disable your modlog? I get a server error trying to view it.The fediverse is going to get messy haha
Anyway, just my two cents; thanks for coming to my TED talk.
He doesn’t reference instance-wide rules, ‘rule #2’ in this case references the sub-lemmy’s second rule which is listed in the sidebar; also important to know, the current instance can be found in the url, sidebar, or the posts self-post link if available, if you want to know the instance’s site-wide rules you’ll have to interface with the instance directly as they may list them in different areas. And he did indeed mean rule #2, not #4, as asklemmy’s Rule #2 is: “Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions”. The modlog for this sub-lemmy is also linked in the sidebar, direct link here.
This extra information, while probably accurate, only further confuses the matter. Why would an admin of a different server remove a post (only on their server?) for violating rules for another server? Shouldn’t they only enforce their local server’s rules? The post doesn’t appear to be removed on lemmy.ml or my instance, kbin.social. It’s plausible that the local ([email protected]) moderators would have made an exception for any given post, at which point referencing their local rules for removing a post on a remote server would not be accurate.
Please note that I’m not really interested in the specifics of this moderator activity-- I’m looking at the more generic best practices, if they exist, or if not, what they should be.
Edit: and I notice that the user that posted is on sh.itjust.works-- though I don’t think that factors into the equation.
It’s just a mod removing a post from a community because it violates the community rules, just like they’d do on Reddit. Community mods are community mods, no matter where the community is hosted.
That said, I still see the post in the community from kbin.social, and it had me wondering if mod actions are federation properly.
Maybe I am just confused. Can a user from instance.one be a mod on a community in instance.two? I kind of assumed that any moderator for a community had to exist on that server but now it seems like that’s the source of my confusion.
I’m also on kbin and the bug that shows earnest as the mod for everything hasn’t been fixed.
Edit: ugh, yeah, that’s my problem-- the bad assumption. I am sorry for wasting everyone’s time. @Kichae @sethboy66 @hsl
