There is now an Actually Infuriating community on Lemmy! Post things that are beyond just mildly infuriating. It’s only mildly infuriating that someone didn’t make this sooner!

      I recommend reading “I’m Starting to Worry About this Black Box of Doom” to find out why you shouldn’t sub to this

    There is no way this doesn’t turn into an utterly toxic battleground for people to scream at each other about politics lol

        Sorry I’m being needlessly negative 😅

        Some unsolicited advice from a very seasoned mod: the ban hammer exists for a reason. Don’t be too prescriptive with your rules and don’t be afraid to ban somebody just because they didn’t explicitly violate a rule. The community comes first. Don’t let a couple of people hold it hostage.

          How is this upvoted so much? This is fucking insane.

          “Oh, just ban whoever even if they didn’t break any rules”

            Do I really need to explain how grossly oversimplified to the point of flagrant misrepresentation that is?

              Oh I’m sure you have a way to justify your corrupt authoritarianism. I don’t care what your reasoning is. If you ban people without them breaking rules, then the only actual rule is “don’t upset the power tripping bastards”, which I strongly disagree with.

                “Corrupt authoritarianism” my god dude you can’t be serious. You’ve clearly got a chip on your shoulder or are otherwise grinding your axe about something that happened to you (or because of you?)

          I appreciate it. I have some experience modding here, but not in a community like this, which has the potential to bring our the worst in people! I set rules that should be broad enough to do exactly that. I have high hopes, and it fills a need.
