@nutomic@lemmy.ml why was @vaxedpeopledie@lemmy.ml site wide banned for posting generic vaccine news articles then? You said there was no anti vaccine policy at Lemmy. Look at that account it broke no rules. If people get banned for following the rules admins make why should anyone trust this platform?
No trolling? The username is ‘vaxedpeopledie’… To me the way vaccinated is written (with one ‘x’ or more) is already unsettling enough (if not trolling). But jokes aside - who has a username like this without the intent to stir up controversy?
Edit: Also, I trust this platform because people get banned (i.e., moderation works).
Controversy isn’t trolling. Is controversy against site rules? Who cares how a word is spelled?
If people get banned for posting news articles showing the dangers of vaccines then put that in the rules and stop hiding behind the world troll or controversy.
Also you can moderate individual communities however you want but a site wide ban should be when someone breaks a site wide rule. No?
Everyone who reads cares about spelling. It has to do with readability. I know that most mainstream click-bait article headline authors do not care. They do not need to, since their message is typically trivial. If you read more complicated texts it becomes obvious why words cannot be spelled differently in every paragraph. (Also, it seems to be a Usonian problem…) Controversy is not the issue. It can arise. The problem is when posts are made with intent of controversy (a.k.a “user engagement”). In a scientific discussion, controvery disappears with increasing evidence (no need to argue when the facts are clear). Also, ban the trolls from everything (never feed them!).
