I made this post saying that we should bend community rules sometime, but it get downvoted, so I think most Lemmy users disagree. I’m kinda confused - should I remove posts and ban users if they break rules even slightly?

For example, this post on [email protected] doesn’t actually fit the community guidelines, but I didn’t delete it because it was made in good faith.

    Should you moderate like a bot? No.

    I’m human, your human, the community is made up of humans. Act like a reasonable human, and yes, you get to define what is reasonable.

    If bots could mod, we would just have them mod, but that would suck.

    In terms of rule bending, if it’s in good faith then let it go. If you want to remind someone, that’s fine.
