Watch out you’re likely to be bashed on the head for asking the Betterbird devs questions.

More people need to use matrix and xmpp instead!

Make a beefy gaming phone with the steam store!

Right there’s too many people shooting down the Linux phone concept within this thread 😔

Not exactly a public ban list however Piefed has the subscriber/banned list available for moderators to review. The regular users would just have to check the modlogs.

Carnivore dieters do often like to compare themselves to big cats

Nah it’s a very good comparison.

How does that relate to disingenuous? It’s important that people know the health effects of what they’re pushing. It’s crucial to regularly rebuke misinformation online.

You say I’m only criticizing them. That’s misrepresenting the situation since I have criticized other unsavoury characters here.

That is a false equivalence as we share the same healthcare system that doesn’t need the extra strain because some people are choosing to eat fad diets such as the atkins one or the carnivore one.

That’s a good instance choice!

It’s good to have a diversity of moderators however I may consider building the community up and then handing it off to someone else.

This isn’t an user simply stating the benefits of eating meat but an individual pushing for an extremely restrictive diet that only allows meat, eggs, butter, dairy and water that has numerous issues such increased risks of all cause mortality, heart disease, cancers, constipations, muscle cramps, impaired kidneys.

Following that same logic I suppose it’s okay for anti-vaxxers, fruitians, naturopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists and conspiracy theorists to also join the team if they dedicate enough effort towards it. The user should be a commentator not a moderator, backgrounds are important to consider in predicting how they will shape the community. Health care professionals will avoid !publichealth@mander.xyz if they knew one of the moderators was regularly pushing misinformation. A science-based instance should prioritize proper information.

This is a disappointing response that will cause a schism in the community as I don’t want people like RFK Jr. anywhere near positions of power when it comes to health.

I thought this was fedilore, not let’s create pointless fedidrama?

People need to know what they’re getting into. The purpose of this community is shed light on the inner-workings of the fediverse.

at least don’t edit out his name.

Rule 2 states that: “When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.”

I was the person that nominated @jet@hackertalks.com as a moderator. I nominated him because he’s active and engaging in the comments.

That is not sound basis to appoint someone. It should be based on a trustworthy background. I do not believe you and the other person have properly vetted their background.

Being a moderator isn’t an endorsement of anyone’s opinions.

Yes, it is you’re giving them the ability to manage the community displaying your level of trust into their demeanour.

But please let’s stop with the brigading nonsense.

All the posts are brigading according to that logic. Where I have stated to “invade the community in question?”

Someone should create a new community on Anarchist.nexus or Piefed.social
