  • Following our instance rules, we have a few cases in which we may remove community moderators from their communities:

    1. Grossly committing a violation of the Terms of Service

    Alright so I looked at those Terms of Service.

    1.1 - Attacks on People? Check. He’s repeatedly gone out of his way to harass people as demonstrated both via his modlog and the litany of comments he’s left on YPTB

    1.2 - Discrimination of Minorities? Check as demonstrated by the fact that he’s been banned from the entirety of blahaj for transphobic behavior.

    3 - System Disruption? Arguable considering he’s permanently ruined any credibility that /c/News and /c/World had and has driven so many users to actively avoid lemmy.world at all possible costs. Myself included now.

    8 - Misinformation? Check. Removing someones post for a lack of understanding is one thing but you said that you (Admins) talked to Jordan about his behavior on the Canadian thing. Meaning that you knew it was wrong and had told him it was wrong. He repeatedly and continually doubles down on that specific thing. That is misinformation. Misinformation that is then being enforced with the abilities of a moderator. Which also then slides into 1.1 - Attacks on People as he’s actively lying and punishing a dude when he did nothing wrong.

    We are still discussing whether we consider his behavior a “gross violation of our ToS”, as there are definitely some arguments to be made in favor of that.

    At this stage there are no valid arguments to be made against it. The evidence is overwhelming and has been piling up for months and months and months and months and months.

    This is a complete no brainer. You have admins of other trusted instances refusing to have anything to do with him. You’ve got whole swaths of users that are outright boycotting Lemmy.world as a whole and I’m not talking about my random dumb ass. I mean for literal years I’ve been asked why I set up on Lemmy.world. This entire experience has not done anything to sway anyones fears but has done a lot to reconfirm them.




  • I am not paid in anyway (I wish) but there’s a brand called Command that makes hooks with adhesives for hanging things up. They have ones specifically for paintings that distribute a lot of wait across multiple hanging points. That might be worth checking out! The adhesive also comes off of the wall without any damage. You pull down on the strip and it dislodges the glue via stretching or whatever so it pulls it off without messing with the wall. At least from personal experience with the ones I’ve used and I’ve used the painting ones to hang an 8lb piece of shit.
