so a no catharsis rule?

i did not say you are the bad guy, i am just saying, your comment did not add anything. I can see deleted stuff, and it was pretty bad (lets leave at that). nothing personal or anything like that.

So you think that like 30 people said it was deeply transphobic, but it wasn’t?

Never said that, i just said you don’t know what they wrote (which you admitted to, which is absolutely fine) but then you add that it must be bad, which was already evident. If i point something wrong about your comment does not make anything original deleted content right. you both can be wrong (at least in my opinion) because we are talking about totally orthogonal stuff.

without even knowing what they wrote, hating on it is not cool. you are just saying hivemend is right. it may or may not be. but whatever it was, you saying it is shitty adds nothing

also, can you please go through some other comments regarding polotical news. I wanted to discuss with all mods, but you replied here, so that reduces job by some amount

constitution is just fancy speak. I was dramatizing a lot.

I want something similar to how blaze replied for good news everyone. Just a sort 3-4 rules.

I will try to message other mods before actually changing rules, but yes

i don’t know a better way

i partially agree, but there are times where my own judgement is not good, and hence i want a somewhat object ruleset, which a majority amount of poulation agrees to. If i do all i want all will nilly, i would be a dictator. Now i could be a benovalent kind, but lets be honest, most are not, and i am no special human

that is close, but that is not quite exact. To a bad person, bad can happen, but through a just way, what i look to say is, we should not loose our humanity in the worst situations, and one of its parts is empathy. so bad happening to bad person maybe is bad because it is not through a just action, but lets say someone causing them personal trauma. If it happens by their own doing, that may still be “just” (in a self serving manner).

thank you, that is very much helpful. You have put what i have been feeling in a very clear manner

i am sorry, but the fictional stuff was necessity. Essentially the post is trying to ask you define uplifting things. But a subjective definition of a human emotion is very hard to base objective rules on, so i have posed many questions. basically questions would define a this is not uplifting limit for posts. It is mostly about politics, and when people bring in political preference and alignment for and against, they basically stop thinking. For more context, please go through other comments where i do go a bit more direct, but some amount of haziness was intentional.

Basically this post stemmed out from a post regarding “musk being depresssed” (now deleted) which is not uplifting to me, and so i asked in comments does this post belong here, and i also got down voted hard there. So i made this post trying to understanding what do people expect when they mean uplifiting. If i would have used words musk or trump people swing hard, and even if you make a statement not related to them, but somewhere they or anyone made any related statement, people swing hard again. I somewhat get why people do this, they are mad at them, which is fine, but they just do not really want to have a constructive discussion.

If you can help me draft a better way to put all this, then that would be very welcome and appreciated, languages (speaking and writing) is definitely not my best skill, i keep going away from my main points, and i really suck at drafting concise and neat stuff.

thank you, i would not really add that rule, too specific, what i can discuss with other mods is too either add a no politics rule, or just add a no catharsis (or something) similar rule

just reply back in case you can are not promoted as a mod (sometimes moderation/mod activites (like promoting someone as mod) does not federate well)

nothing, just a yes or no, and i am assuming since you replied, so you are still up for it, so making you a mod

My 2 cents is that a community like this doesn’t need to take moderating too serious, since the content isn’t polarising or flammable anyway.

it sadly does get political and hence flamable, for reference, check one of the last posts about “elon getting depressed”. to me that is not uplifting, to a large section of community that is uplifting in a “cathartic” sense.

we agree mostly except for

2a) i would still consider it uplifting (source for question was yet another post about something relating to comfort for dogs in car being patented by some company)

i think we both know what i mean by martian leader here, and most of these question were either what has happened or what some people want to happen, with some amount of testing for what people consider uplifting.

for example, elon being depressed is 4h (yes i meant h, i don’t know why i midway through forgot abcd), and it got a huge number of upvotes, and when i go in comments and ask if this counts is uplifting, since we are being happy for someone being depressed, that does not feel right to me, most people just reply that he is getting what he deserves, but that was not the point. to my framework (as i explained), i can not tell a youngling that lets be happy about this man getting depressed, when i told him to be sad for other people getting depressed. Even when i tell the kid that someone is a bad person, i do not want them to leave their human conscience, but apparently people prefer catharsis.

Don’t worry about a potential ‘mistake’ you’re the mod and you’re human, you possibly making a mistake is part of the deal of participanting in an online community.

thank you. It has happened, when i got a pretty hatefilled personal message for a mod action, that i did not even make, and that kinda hurts. I do not know what to do. I am not a iron fisted guy who can always just roll on. So i wanted to just ask what should i do in various scenarios. But apparently popular vote is that i should just punch myself in face the next time i consider doing anything, but definitely not post here a “non uplifting non news”

I am sorry to see you go, would you like to fill a exit survey form? https://envs.sh/wT

thank you for replying, for being the first to reply, we shall bestow upon thee, the title of law keeper, you are now legally eligible to add law keeper in your name (valid on fediverse, mars, venus, saturn, and a few other places)

on a more serius note, i think the 2 communities have similar but not same goals. first 3 are here too (kinda), but we do not have the 4th one, and that is where a lot happens.

That is why i added the 4 batch of questions, others are not that important, but i also have to add some dolly questions to judge the person replying (not in sense of judging their opinion, but just tto check if they are a troll or not, for example someone does not find a free caner cure a uplifting news, will not probably find anything uplifting, that i or others deem uplifting.

it does not make you a bad person.

In fact it kind of made me a bit happy too, in a parental way "seeing their child f up, but then you child realises it, and they ar sad, but they also got a important lesson’ either that or in a pity kind of way, in the sense that he is capable of feeling stuff, he desereved (partially) what he got (i do not condone arson, but boycots are welcome to me) but still, i have some kinda sense of “i should not laugh at someone else’s pain”

if you are still up, I will make you mod, just reply

Should this news count as uplifting? Asking as a mod. I know the current poltics scenario, but this does not sound uplifting to me unless i am kinda sadistic.
