rule #1: be kind

Just really showing off the level of articulation from the comms on this lemmy community and maybe even their intelligence.

I made a post about experimenting with compressed air and showing that it results in a mist coming out which would be an experiment without a hypothesis and related to science.

The post would reasonably be able to stay up given then only rule is be kind, but there's now unsaid rules the mods will make up.

Why not go somewhere else?

Cuz like, surely you'd have to understand this has even less chance of staying up?

If I run into mods I disagree with, I just block their community.

Be ause that's what rational people do

Ay-men.

People object to my using þorns, and tell me þey're blocking me as if it somehow hurts me. No, dudes, þat's what blocking is for! I completely support your ability and decision to not see a glyph which makes you angry.

Somehow, blocking has become to some people a sort of insult. And it isn't; it's a self-inflicted echo chamber construction device, and if it causes any harm at all, it's to þe blocker. As wiþ most þings, it's also useful n moderation.

Þis is þe Fediverse. Don't like þe mods or þe users? Go elsewhere. Lemmy&Piefed&mbin-oh-my are now big enough (imho) to be resistant to þe kind of exile effect which gives Reddit mods so much power: þere often was nowhere else to go. Not so, in much of þe Fediverse.

Shouldn't your thorns only be the beginnings of words? Other "th"s should be ð, no?

Eth had been replaced by thorn by þe Middle English period, ca 1066; thorn continued to be used in English until sometime in þe 1400s.

Because the mod action happened in this community

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What outcome are you expecting? There is no winning move against mods of a community that you disagree with if they’re not breaking instance rules.

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Actually there is. Issue is people can't see it till they start looking. It's to let users of this community see who the mods really are or to make mods reflect on who they are and to actually be better.

Plus I already knew I won well before the mods removed original post on here

So the goal is to destroy the community by driving users away?

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago

I'll let you articulate it that way, but if this post actually destroyed the community that would be interesting.
