[META] State of the lemmy.ml worldnews Community (lemmy.ml)

I think it's important to discuss the state of the community every now and then - feedback for mod behaviour, what's going wrong, what's going right, what news is interesting, what news is boring, what should there be more of, what should there be less of.

Mods feel free to remove this post if it violates rules, but I think it's an important discussion to have.

This community's mods are rather nice imo

They don't argue in the comments and ban people for disagreeing - they serve much more as a moderator than as a user with moderator powers, if that makes sense. Better than some other communities (lemmy.world) for that reason alone.

Don't need to agree with their moderation stance to appreciate them respecting the ideals of separation of concerns. Moderators should not be able to argue so strongly in comments and ban other users because the mod got pissy and lost an argument.

The mods there argue with you and when they cant go on with arguments the ban hammer speaks

That's what happens on lemmy.world lmao

I can't remember the last time a mod got into an argument on this community - must have been months ago. I remember there being a few teething pains, but those have clearly been resolved.

Edit: I'm not saying I agree with their liberal use of the banhammer (I think it prevents people from seeing the errors in their opinions because being banned creates an antagonistic environment and likely solidifies their positions), but just look at the comment history of mods on this community: they're remarkably quiet.
