My post was removed as astroturfing. It might be an idea to try and understand meaning of concepts before blasting them around. You will find wikipedia, and many other reputable sources, helpful in this quest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing
My question was a genuine one born out of deep frustration. The name of this community suggests it is for such questions, but what do I understand.
By the way, what’s wrong with you, mods?
Guess that’s a yes on my most recent question so thank you for the indirect answer and I’ll do my best to make it as clear as I can.
OP made a post about the actions of a community moderator (“mod”) for [email protected]. In your top-level comment on OP’s post within the AskLemmy community on the lemmy.world instance, you said the following:
My reply to you was a question about whether you may have meant:
Or:
I’m asking whether you think OP’s question in the last line of the post we’re commenting on (i.e. “By the way, what’s wrong with you, mods?”) is directed at the moderators of the community who made the decision to remove the previous post or administrators of the instance who, so far, do not appear to be involved in the discussion at all. Please note that instance administrators and community moderators are different sets of people.
Dude, I think we’re wasting our time
Maybe so. Good news is I came to Lemmy tonight with plenty of time to waste.
lol I feel that
So wait are you asking me about my use of language or the actions of people? Your message seems really confused
You’ll find out if you bother to read any of what I wrote. I hope for your sake that you’re being deliberately obtuse here.
I did read it and I’m trying to understand, but as I said it’s not clear what your issue is. I’m sorry but I don’t have any more time to donate to you. You’ve strayed dangerously far from the original topic and my reply to it so I’ll have to leave you here to figure out where you lost us. Good luck.
Looks like I’ve failed in my quest but the person who can extract a straight answer out of you will be the next ruler of England.
I get the sword in the stone reference. If we hadn’t met on the toxic polluted battlefield of Lemmy rhetoric we might have been friends
He has to be. The level of reading comprehension he has displayed in basically every comment in this thread is amazing, lol
It’s pretty clear. You said “instance mods” but instances don’t have mods, they have admins. Communities have mods.
So did you mean the admins of the instance, or the mods of the community?
I was asking the guy above you (who are you btw lol) about his question to me, as he has waffled back and forth between use of language and my main point, which is the abuse of power. This is because it (abuse) directly relates to OP’s concern, in case you forgot what post you were discussing, and the use of language does not. K? :)
