It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

    Honestly, I think calling what’s ongoing “bullying” is kinda strange. If anything we wanted to cool the situation down.

    This was pretty much my point. lemmy.ml and Hexbear love how their admins behave, and that’s all the admins feel like they need to know. My point was that (a) you’re starting to operate along the same lines, it looks like, and (b) that’s not always a good thing.

    I would rather show me which admins are more centered on what every rando on the internet thinks. Then I can point you to someone about to have a burnout.

      Quotes from the thread:

      The person in question is extremely rude and toxic. I have reached out to the LW admins regarding that he seems unfit to be moderating a dozen medium to larger communities. Unfortunately i didnt get any reply.

      I think he’s an obnoxious dickhead

      I remember his username and him being a twat

      He’s a genocide-supporting Zionist radlib

      a goddam stalker

      an angry turbolib who blames the left (and Eugene in particular, for some reason) for the pathetic failure of the corporate-c**k-sucking Democrats

      And so on. There’s plenty more, that’s just what I had patience to dig up.

      I would rather show me which admins are more centered on what every rando on the internet thinks.

      Those aren’t the only two options lol. I’m just saying that “Our users/tribe love that we always take the side of our users/tribe no matter the facts of the situation!” isn’t the good justification that it sounds like, when you phrase it differently than I just did.

        Not sure which thread you mean, but If you think people expressing their low opinions about someone is “bullying”, then, well you haven’t experienced bullying. And also, what the hell do you expect of dbzer0 admins to do about people expressing such opinions? You want us to go around protecting the people you like from public opinion? Like, this is a legit absurd argument path.

        It’s easy to look right when fighting against strawmen.
