Jordanlund removed a post in news@lemmy.world because I, not even the post author, disagreed with his view of how moderation should work.

For extra pettiness, he removed my comments before removing the whole post.

    I’m the top mod of !news@lemmy.world

    The OP of this post was an ass, but the original post was corrected.

    I’ve restored that post. I’m also talking with all mods about this whole thing.

    Sorry I didn’t see it sooner. Family medical issues has been my sole focus all week.

    I’ll respond to this comment if I have anything further to say about this incident.

    Seems like it’s time to bring back the moment where JLund power tripped over Canada’s government terminology despite being corrected by several Canadian citizens

    But anyway, his comments in this thread already speak for themselves.

    Edit: people sometimes question why I try to avoid overcentralization on LW. That mod mods both !politics@lemmy.world, !news@lemmy.world and !world@lemmy.world, three of the most active communities on the whole platform.

      Or the time he said anything on the substack platform (ie only had substack in the footer) meant it was a blog therefore not allowed. See dropsitenews.com.

      Then when asked what it would take to allow it had to keep moving goal posts as users pointed out it was already being done except for the substack footer.

    Well that’s fun that it’s now considered attacking when questioning mod decisions on world. Then again they’ve always been incredibly aggressive that way in their news comm when people don’t go along with their odd decisions

      Yeah, I’m amused jordanlund posted the modlog, as that does not make him look better. I raised the issue with another mod and they called my criticism “belligerent”, which is a wild label to apply to those two comments. There was no response to moderating for “spite”. Apparently he just couldn’t help himself after such withering belligerence.

          My experience is similar to LibertyLizard. A lot of the time they’re just doing regular mod stuff, but every once in a while they go Cartman and just escalate every minor little critique. This is definitely not the first time I’ve noticed them going off the rails for seemingly minor criticism.

          The other mods should be reeling him in when this happens and ideally he should be the one calling them in. I’ve modded before, and we’d go to our fellow mods if we were getting heated. Easier to get the sanity check and if you’re in the right to have a third party step in to do the mod actions. I’m not sure how active they really are though. Since there’s no “message the mods” system I had to go down the mod list to find someone to lodge the complaint with. Only a few of them post to Lemmy regularly.

            Last time I looked at it the Lemmy world mods discord server was just a giant dick sucking contest where they just egg each other on with shit like this, I wouldn’t expect any of them to call each other out.

            When they have an issue with a specific user they will rally around the group to build dislike for that particular user posting screen shots and berating them between themselves.

            I haven’t been on there for 6 months + as I deleted my discord account but I doubt much has changed in that time.

              I was gobsmacked that “I’ll remove it to spite you” didn’t even warrant some bullshit like “we agree that that was an inappropriate thing for a mod to say”, even if they backed him on the strict no image posts stance. That’s really inexcusable, and the very core of the problem.

    Jordanlund is a zionist. His modding has been documentated on here extensively.

    He just pushes DNC talking points and bans any dissenting opinions.

    Stop using news and politics communities on Lemmy world.

      Really is wild how .world will call out .ml for removing things for their personal political reasons, but does the exact same thing for the DNC and their ilk.

      And if you call it out, its whataboutism.

        No but see by criticizing good wholesome liberals instead of (distant thunder and/or musical sting) tankies you’re being childish and distracting from the real issues.
