So what about people who do want to use they/them? Adults could install software like this for their kids and use the mod to deny their kid the right to choose what pronoun they want to use.
You know, at some point Microsoft and Apple are going to enable developers to charge people to uninstall software, and that’ll be the driving force that finally forces the public to adopt Linux en masse.
It’s immature, and unprofessional. Anybody could goad a mod like that to misusing their authority, driving people away from the sub and completely destroying their credibility. Other people won’t put up with it.
This isn’t a job. They are a user like you who happen to also volunteer to mod because someone has to.
And they willingly chose to accept the responsibility that goes along with being a mod in exchange for that kind of power over others. That means they’re going to be held to a higher ethical standard than regular users and are looked down upon if they argue with users openly, because to allow it is to allow them to do worse shit, like ban users for disagreeing with them or even winning said arguments.
It doesn’t matter if mods get paid or not. They have to adhere to that responsibility or everyone suffers, even if you personally don’t care what they do. You’re just part of the problem.
Why would any of you think it’s okay for mods to power-trip? Is it because you have no standards? Or you wish to do the same yourself?
They seem to have handled the situation just fine and even left the report for other mods to handle. I really don’t see what the big issue is.
It’s the principle of the thing, which you don’t understand because you don’t have any real values.
Firstly, the one rule of the instance of the community you are commenting on is “be nice”, so maybe relax on the hostilities.
I would say the same of you but it’s obvious you’re not listening. And that is entirely a you problem.
I’m a mod myself and an asshole, yet somehow I manage to not argue with my own users on my own subs. If I did, you’d be the first to call me out for being disrespectful and abusing my power, so why in the world would I or anyone listen to rhetoric from someone so disingenuous as you?
You don’t care about principle or properly managing a community, you only care about the fact that what I pointed out ruffled your feathers, hit too close to home, and you don’t like it.
People, above all, don’t like hearing the truth. And the truth is that you are just plain wrong and don’t want to accept it. Mods have responsibilities toward their users and that doesn’t change just because you don’t like it.
Let me tell you what you’ll tell me: go outside and touch some grass, it’s not that serious. Find it within yourself to accept it’s okay to be wrong about something.
Projecting much? Because I am not the one not listening to reason here, it’s you. It’s not just about this one particular douchebag. It’s the principle of the thing, that is applicable to all mods everywhere on every site.
You don’t get to just decide mods arguing with people in their own communities is okay because you find one particularly likeable. You as a user have a responsibility to hold mods to higher standards to maintain the integrity of the community too, and the only one who stands to suffer because of your refusal to accept it is you.
Yet somehow I, the shit person, know how to behave as a mod better than they do, so that tells me all I need to know about them… and you.
You’re exactly the kind of person whose feathers get ruffled upon hearing these words and that tells us all we need to know about you. None of it is good.
