I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual

      I gave the community away, and I don’t plan on moderating it. I’m remaining the head moderator in case of any potential drama or mod abuse from ikt.

        I will wait for you to remove the other pro genocide mod for that community

          Why should I entertain any of your demands when you call me a nazi even though I’ve asked people not to say that because it’s hurtful?

            Look, I don’t know anything about you, and I’m not the person who said that, new to the thread, but you said you wanted to remain head moderator in case of mod abuse. We’re seeing mod abuse. It’s time to kick the other one out. Refusal after being made aware of this is approval if you want to remain head moderator to remove other mods for mod abuse.

              Well, it’s only mod abuse if it goes against the rules they’ve made. If they make a new rule stating no i/p content, then it wouldn’t be mod abuse.

              but yeah I’ve brought this to their attention and told them to rework their previous rules. If they don’t, then I’ll be resigning from the community, as I have no interest in moderating a worldnews community

              Really though it’s a minuscule community, with one post per day

                i think i maybe don’t understand your stance. you’re remaining mod there to prevent mod abuse, have asked that this mod update the rules, and if they won’t, you’re going to let them run rampant? what does this accomplish? why not just resign either way since that’s the path you most want to follow.

                not trying to criticize, i just… am very confused

                  i can’t leave the mod position, I don’t have any option to do so

                    I am still confused on what your position is. So you were saying you were leaving this comm to the other mod, that you were staying to keep them accountable, that you would resign if they didn’t respond to your response to hold them accountable, and now that you can’t resign at all. I’m… I’m very confused. It seems like you should elevate this to the admins, I guess?

              I also never called him one, I said he tolerates Nazis on his instance. I’ve called him out on it, but he’s not a Nazi. Some of the people there are, and are allowed in. That’s my problem.
