Is it just me, or are lots of mods just banning anyone with a dissenting opinion?
I like to be a bit contrarian, play devil’s advocate, stuff like that, so sometimes I know what I post isn’t going to jive with the community I’m posting in, but I think there’s value in that. It starts a discussion and it offers a different pov.
Maybe I’m wrong and stupid, and someone can reply and explain why. I think that would be a net benefit. But what happens instead is my post gets deleted and I get banned. :/
I genuinely think this is a real issue and it leads to echo chambers, but am curious to see what other ppl think? Am I just salty? :)
Absolutely would have modded these the same way mate.
Just a note: you as an instance admin can see who did a moderation action, but this is not generally visible to other users. I personally don’t mind this, but some moderators and instance admins consider this leaking of information that can lead to harassment. Might be better to not post screenshots like that.
