So earlier we were assigned mod for the community “queer defense front” on this instance.
The person didn’t ask us to be mod or communicate with us at all, then promptly banned us for asking people kindly to not use ableist language.
The rules clearly said zero tolerance for hate, and ableism is hate to us. Plus it seems the person didn’t ban those who were being hateful to us (at least not that we can see in the modlog), so double standards we guess?
If you want something specific you have to actually, you know, communicate.
We don’t care about the ban (it’s not a community we particularly care about), or whatever, just the sheer strangeness of it all and the fact that the person didn’t apply the same rules to others as they did us.
We’ve blocked them and the community. But yeah, maybe don’t assign people mods if you’ve never even asked them or communicated what you want? That’s not a gift, that’s a terrible responsibility you haven’t given them any information or preparation for.
What do you mean by rogue?
The one who banned you for moderating in the way they weren’t comfortable with
Yes, we understand who you are referring to. We just don’t understand what ‘rogue’ means in this context.
It means you may have encountered bad actors. A community of people that have designs to spread hate on the face of tolerance. It’s a tactic that’s been used for years and years. Please be careful.
Thanks for explaining! <3
We will try, yeah.
