OK peeps, I am seeing a lot of flamewars lately which go off-topic of this comm. I am also getting dozens of reports about people reporting each other for “rudeness” or “trolling”. I don’t want this comm to start becoming a drama haven, so I want to try and prevent people getting worked up like this.
What do you think about me starting to deploy strategic 1-day bans for people who I notice are getting into flamewars? If not, what else do you suggest to help people remain civil?
Don’t just upvote/downvote. I won’t take these into account, I want actual comments about this to better make a decision.
I’d rather mod reports not be federated. A lot of mods are power tripping and who the hell wants to earn a reputation as being a problem from some dick head mod across the entire federation?
I know it has downsides but I’d rather things stay decentralized.
The power tripping mod is the one who will be earning a bad rep across the fediverse. Why should they get away with it.
And you don’t think as someone who isn’t a mod, but also isn’t a liberal, won’t end up getting auto blocked from instances just because they have a backbone and threaten capital?
You’re just asking for a new Reddit. Block stupid mods and don’t go to their communities.
