I can’t imagine the absolute nightmare that is moderating any online community…
I bow down and salute anyone who is a moderator!!
I tried it at r*ddit briefly. Oh boy. Never again.
Being the Big Boss is really easy. Being the underboss (which mods generally are) is much harder. Doing so in a committee is the worst.
Mod here. We are dicks without being rude, yes.
Without specifics, this is a meaningless question with an embedded insult.
Dicks without being Rude?
I don’t know… aren’t dicks always a little rude?
Mine is well behaved
Keep rewording your question to replace with less offensive terms until you don’t need to get a 2nd opinion.
Downside is the question will likely become a nuanced question of judgement once you neuter it.
This is pretty funny and the comments here are great, so I’ll leave it up but if theres a lot of really toxic arguments here or anything I’ll remove it
Hey, I was just bustin’ balls. Thanks for taking it in stride.
Just a few days ago I was in a discussion about misgendering people online, and a lemmy.world mod who was advocating against it didn’t like my theory about why some people do it. Their response was to attack me personally by intentionally misgendering me and calling me a “lady.”
I’m not sure what their reasoning was there, but the only way I can interpret it is that they see women as the lesser sex - so by implying I’m not a guy, they’re saying I’m lesser as well.
Don’t see it as an attack. See it as a compliment.
