[+] jordanlund@lemmy.world [M] -7 points 4 weeks ago (2 children) Nope, no rule against it so long as you continue being civil about it. Shading over into personal attacks would break rule 3. Some communities have a rule against meta commentary, which this would fall under, but we don't have that rule here. Which is weird because !world@lemmy.world DOES have that rule and both were set up by the same person.

Otherwise, I don’t know, it might be seen as obviously a bullshit rule used to selectively stop specific discussions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] jordanlund@lemmy.world [M] -8 points 4 weeks ago I'm working on it. It was clean when I shut down for the night last night, checking the comments now, but I have to get through a buttload of replies first. 😉 permalink fedilink source parent [–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) What the hell is "meta commentary"? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jordanlund@lemmy.world [M] -3 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) Exactly this, arguing about the community rather than the topic of the post. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) So you are telling me that there are many ways of sticking rags in my mouth because a community needs to be protected from other voices.

What I don't get is that most moderators think that their job is entirely one of enforcement. It's not, it is moderating where necessary, which also means taking no action if none is required. Which is pretty much what you seem to be doing, to be fair. That's a good thing. It's a human's role to determine whether a line has been crossed or if they might just be dancing along the middle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jordanlund@lemmy.world [M] -1 points 3 weeks ago And that does happen, way more often than you might think.
