Thanks for the report, and it doesn’t seem any noteworthy that would affect his status as moderator. If he does something like using his powers or status then I’ll take action against him.
While I’m not sure if you’re accurately portraying their position (i havent seen this myself), you have a point with this question that I’d also like an answer to.
There’s also claiming Hunter Biden’s cocaine was found in the White House, and pretend ignorance that christofascism is even a thing, and just in general defending anything shitty republican do or say.
There’s lots of other /politics on Lemmy tho, so it’s not as bad as when this happened on reddit. Plenty of options besides this one.
pretend ignorance that christofascism is even a thing
That sort of duplicity is not something anyone should want in a mod. I’ve seen mods on reddit pretend that a guy literally spouting nazi slogans was just fine because he translated them into English first.

No. I said that is the argument of some republicans.
and pretend ignorance that christofascism is even a thing
No, I was wondering how the user I was replying to defined it- because from online discussions I’ve been on in the past everyone defines fascism differently.
I think nearly every ideology has some influence in American politics, as for significant influence not really(anymore, historically yes). I do think there is significant influence from Christian moralists but not exactly fascists.
Might be wise to add an age and education attainment requirement to be a moderator. I’m probably in the minority here but I appreciated the mods at r/politics. Mind you I’ve been temporarily-banned a few times from that sub, justifiably so (usually for stooping to the level of the uncivil). They were generally fair and didn’t seem to exploit their positions from what I experienced in ten years there.
How would education attainment be verified- and how could that seen as anything but alienating the working class. Also, what would be a good minimum age*?
So, I won’t admit to anyone else but aidan, but I looked at aidans and he seemed fine, while his opinion on schooling I may not agree with at all, doesn’t mean it should affect his status as to be moderator, as both of us agreed, he was part of our 2 pick we need.

Thanks for not answering my question:

Feel free to take a look.

Hate speech, slurs, and abusive language are banned under rule 6. I’m not intending to set any rules, but I will enforce them.
I suppose we’ll see how that shakes out in reality. You’re already aware that I and others have doubts.
It’s good to be skeptical of anyone who could censor important and controversial topics.
Do you have one in particular you recommend? This one feels like it’s going downhill the past two days.
What a dumb ass.

Well, now’s your chance to set the record straight and clear things up by confronting the issues directly:
Is it your belief that Hunter Biden’s cocaine was found in the White House?
Is christofascism a thing?
No probably not, I haven’t looked into it too much- but I saw people on here saying it was in the tourist area.
Fascism can enforce an interpretation of Christianity- yes.
Do you believe that christofascist ideology holds influence in American politics?
I think nearly every ideology has some influence in American politics, as for significant influence not really(anymore, historically yes). I do think there is significant influence from Christian moralists but not exactly fascists.

It’s just too ironic that people left reddit because spez didn’t understand how hard modding is…
And Lemmy is full of communities were the mods have no idea what they’re doing, they just signed up a couple days earlier than everyone else.
Especially without established mod tools/bots like reddit had. It’s going to be a shitshow.
How would education attainment be verified- and how could that seen as anything but alienating the working class. Also, what would be a good minimum age*?
Say, at least a PhD to post on here and minimum of 18 years old, maximum 32
True, I will talk to other mods about adding mandatory ID checking and notarized doctorate verification(probably by mail). /s

That’s the problem…
You look at that kid’s account history and think there isnt an issue.
It doesn’t make anyone think better of him, it made us all realize you’re likely just as bad.
Exactly. It’s a wake up call that it’s time to find a new politics sub.
