Interesting that your default unit of chips is ‘a chip’ and not ‘a handful of chips’ or ‘a bag of chips’.

Is this a self affirmation or are there other people in your shower?

I think we are very much in agreement. I don’t read a lot of what goes on in Showerthoughts. I would rather let people sort out their differences. Several users reported the thread, meaning that they wanted a moderator to take action.

If someone prefers zero moderation then they will need to look outside of Lemmy.world.

You should be able to see all the reports against you here: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=13046809

I observe two things about your comment.

1. You have an unpopular opinion of JK Rowling. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to support people with unpopular opinions, like yours.
2. The comment is written in a way that not only states your opinion but is aggressive towards the other users. In isolation this comment isn’t too bad but in the context of your other comments there is a trend of agression that stirs up more aggression. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to avoid aggression towards users.

These two points are at odds. I originally removed your comment, you didn’t like that, you sent me a DM, so I tried this approach.

If you were in my shoes, how would you resolve the conflict created by observations 1 & 2?

What is bullshit? Im open to criticism. I am open to conversations.

Mod here. This thread devolved and reports were flying around so now it’s gone.

It was kicked off with the above comment. rainrain asked a question. If we assume the best intentions, it is a reasonable question but it could be interpreted as being hostile.

Leraje did a good job answering the question in a kind way.

In general, please approach opposing ideas with curiosity not hostility. We are all on the same team, we are all working together to build a better internet.

Beautiful

I’m a mod here. While it’s not one of my favorites, it does follow the format pretty well. I try to use Rule 1 sparingly.

It’s a bad look to shutdown critics. I think the votes and comments are doing a good job of bringing perspective to OP’s opinion.

You can block entire instances. You should be able to find it in the settings in your Lemmy app. I know Tesseract and Voyager let you edit it. I think you can also filter by keywords.

I moderate showerthoughts.

I certainly don’t know everything but I’m very sure I can’t edit other people’s posts.

If a post is questionable, then I try to message people and talk it out. We are all human.

Some people wish we moderated more aggressively to keep the post quality higher, others, like yourself wish there was less moderation. I try to leave things up unless there is an obvious violation, I try to apply the rules fairly, I am human.

Thank you. I also didn’t follow.

This is a clever solution

I tried it from a test account I have on another instance and it seems to work.

This was reported for being political, rule 3. Economics is highly politicized but we need to draw a line somewhere so I added a little more guidance in the sidebar. For example, a similar but less politicized phrasing might be “Capitalism and humanism both come from the same aspects of human nature” Leaving up for now. Thanks for being civil everyone.
