I made a post in the general discussion channel about my neighbor’s dogs barking all night, and instead of just allowing the fucking thread to continue as a general discussion, it’s locked by a moderator and told the post here. Y’all literally turn into this place into Reddit.
If it was posted to a political thread, sure, but it’s literally fucking called general discussion. The best part about leaving Reddit were the moderators who just had to have control of something in their lives, and here we are again.
Would it have broken Lemmy to leave the fucking post up?
Hey I feel your pain. Overzealous moderators who act unilaterally outside of their own posted rules without justfying themselves annoy me even more than the bastards who let their dogs bark.
I tried to post this over there but because it was locked I couldn’t, so here it is: Get a Bluetooth speaker and put it as close to your dipshit neighbor’s yard as you can and still control it. Look up one of the many dogwhistle videos on YouTube. Crank that high pitched noise up to the max until the dog shuts up. Close your windows and put in earphones to block it out.
100%, the post and the general discussion thread could have continued and the mod could have informed me about a better place to post. But instead the entire conversation is locked lol
Good vent. Too bad you cant start your own general and post what you like…
Oh wait.
Why would you create a new community when one already exists for general discussion lol
Oh. I thought you were mad about someone else’s choices about their own community. You are saying that they shouldn’t have the choice to remove content that they don’t think fits in their community right?
I’m saying as someone who wanted to post content and was told to choose a community to post in, then scrolled a bit and specifically found one that would make sense as a good fit aka “General Discussion” that I find it silly that the entire discussion was locked mid discussion
Oh, you mean you entered someone else’s community, didn’t read the rules, posted and are mad about it when you got corrected?
Let me paste below the literal words from the sidebar:
“This is a community for general discussion where you can get your bearings in the fediverse”
The word tech doesn’t even exist in the sidebar lol you’re awfully pent up about my post in vent lolol
Neat, so how does your post fit in with getting your bearings about the fediverse?
Reddit call for you? You were responding instantly then so quiet
Lol
At least Lemmy has you as the welcoming committee, with such a great attitude and perspective on the forum. Which subreddits do you mod?
does it fucking matter? at all?
If someone wanted to create a community for specific content maybe they should title it as such
On a tech focused instance… The general section will be about tech, not your anger about dogs. You not understanding where you are isn’t other people’s fault.
Maybe the word tech instead of general would make more sense then…lmao
You really don’t understand how Lemmy works do you?
Funny you’re downvoted, maybe you know less than you think
