As it turns out, the mods in the Reddit community are supporting bigots by shutting down posts that are trans positive: (lemmy.world)

A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.

This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.

So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-

It too, was locked.

I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.

Sooooo… welcome new friends!

Not feeling like dealing with it is just being bigoted out of fear of bigots. It doesn't change anything. Cowardice isn't an excuse.

Are they obligated to deal with hate when what they signed on for was moderating a subreddit about a video game?

Why are you deciding that someone else must take part in your desire to fight about things unrelated to the subject of the subreddit? Why do you feel entitled to their time and their mental energy like that?

Yes, if you sign up to be a mod, you are signing up to moderate. That includes dealing with whatever hate falls into your community.

The fuck is wrong with you? Oh, the poor little moderators have to do what the name of their positions fucking implies they should be doing? How dare we feel entitled to demand those who volunteered to do a job actually do their job?!

If you're too much of a coward to acknowledge or deal with hate or drama when it shows up, then you shouldn't be a fucking mod.

Just keep in mind that "dealing" can also mean "nuke everything off topic".

Im surprised that people don’t get this. If the post has nothing to do with the game and it is a source of problems then shut it down.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Are we forgetting the first post in question was literally a game screenshot?

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

That doesn’t mean the resulting conversation that was nuked has anything to do with the game.
