    “Bad faith arguments” is not a reason to flag people in Lemmy Shitpost. Please do not abuse the flagging system again.

      Then what good is your moderation? The whole fucking point of having you around is TO police bad faith arguing. That’s what mods are FOR.

        Mods are for enforcing community rules. This is a shitpost community, not a debate community. The rules are very clear on the sidebar and ‘bad faith arguments’ is not one of them.

        Feel free to find a different community if you want to report ‘bad faith arguments’ multiple times. If you do it here, I’m going to tell you to stop before I act. Because I prefer give warnings.

          And you can’t enforce ANY rule without protecting your people against bad faith arguing. It’s a foundation of ALL communities, whether explicitly written in its guidelines or not, because meaningful debate is the foundation of ALL human interaction and is primarily what abuse and harassment is.

          The needs of your people are more important than your laziness, selfishness, and unwillingness to do your job. Don’t like it? Step the fuck down. You go find a different community to play king over if you don’t like it.

            Okay, I think you need to take a break. We’ll see you in a week. I wouldn’t advise telling another mod to ‘step the fuck down.’ They might be less lenient.

              Yeah you should probably step down if that is your opinion…

                Your feelings are noted. If you don’t wish to join them, you will let the subject drop.

                This is Lemmy Shitpost. You are allowed to have as many bad faith arguments as you want. If you keep flagging people for it, you’ll be asked, politely, to stop. Which is what happened.

                I’m sorry that you both find this so ridiculously unreasonable. What’s interesting is that the person I asked to stop did not.

                This subject is no longer up for discussion.
