  • I’m gonna be honest with you, as a non-english speakers, this is unreadable, and kinda obnoxious.

    Please take into consideration that this is an international website, that people from many different countries go to in order to talk to each other. If someone suddenly decide to use his local letters to write, most readers will just not understand what you write. At best it makes you look pedantic, at worst intentionally trying to exclude others from talking with you.

    I can understand why others may be irritated by your behavior, albeit I’d condemn any attempt at brigading to harass you over it.
    If you feel like it, you can ask for a brigading check to see if some accounts are following you to downvote every ones of your posts, admins can see votes and got some tools to help detect such behavior.




  • As he said, modlogs are public, and it seems like other user retreived the trace of what you call an “abuse of power” : https://sopuli.xyz/comment/12732467 .

    It is in his right as a moderator to chose how he moderate the communities he has the right to. If he finds your comment pedantic and annoying, and chose to remove it, so be it.

    I’m not taking sides here. I don’t know the whole story, and I doubt anyone else here does. With the little context provided, It’d be hard to take knowingly a side.

    But in both case, this is textbook harassement as you are copy-pasting this comment on every community this is posted on. This community has a pretty clear rule against harrassement (rule 2), which you are breaching, offense for which I’ll use my g… mod given right of banning you for the time being (I’ll re-evaluate tomorrow when I’ll be less tired).

    Edit : After talking with OP via PM, a ban of 7 days was issued















  • Funny since I’m rather pro palestinian, but let’s go with it.

    I take into account that I don’t know a lot of things as I’m not some sort of omnipotent being.

    Here is the data I got :

    On the Hezbollah, as they don’t have an habit of documenting their bases (for obvious reason), all I know is that it was in a densely inhabited area, and reportedly underground.
    So either it was built before this zone became densely populated, or it was built on a later date, knowing the area was densely inhabited.
    Either way, it is either negligence, if they allowed the population to encroach on what should be considered a military area, or knowingly, to use the population as shield. Unfortunately they are against an army that don’t care about killing innocents, so that was of no use.

    On the IDF side, according to Wikipedia, Camp Rabin is used as the IDF headquarters since 1948, at that time it was still an agricultural settlement in the periphery of Tel Aviv. This was seized from a Christian community, reportedly because they where nazi sympathizers, and they used to create the IDF HQ there.




  • I’m only a moderator, that’s not a decision I’d be taking alone.

    Problem is that a community as broad as a gaming one is bound to be subscribed my many user on many instances. Switching it to another one will only move the problem elsewhere, not fix it.

    Still, if that’s a problem, we could research other courses of actions, like dividing LW in multiple sub-instances for broad topics. The idea would be to get all gaming related community on “games.lemmy.world”, and getting most games related communities to switch there, so external instances can subscribe to that specific instance without receiving all the other updates from other communities. That would also make it a lot easier to scale the servers to the right size for the right use.

    But once again that’s not my decision to take.
