Context:

The article in question was well sourced, factually accurate, and written by a well-renowned author and journalist whose work appears elsewhere too, regardless of which outlet published it.

Nonetheless, Jordan Lund is once again blindly trusting a pro-zionist conservative outlet masquerading as a bias and fact checker that nothing from anywhere that criticizes the fascist apartheid regime can be reliable 🤦

    It’s easier when there’s not a lot in the queue. I’ve had times where I wake up in the morning and there are 20+ or 30+ unresolved reports and I’m like “Oh, what fresh hell is this?”

    Generally it’s either:

    1. A troll being reported over and over, resolve it once and it resolves all of them.

    or 2) Two people getting into an internet slap fight, arguing back and forth and reporting all the other persons comments.

    At that point, I go up the chain, find the last rational comment one of them made, keep that, nuke the rest and ban them both for 24 hours. Too much of modding is like parenting siblings. “I don’t CARE who started it, you’re BOTH grounded.”

      I understand that too. It’s a thankless job, not to mention unpaid. I try to give everyone benefit of the doubt, even if I’m not personally fond of them. I try to merit individual comments, rather than memorable comment history. There are exceptions, but they have to work extra hard to get there, or is a moment of human fallibility. At any rate, thanks for detailed replies.

        And if someone wants to be RUDE about it, THAT’S when I put on the PTB hat and go “Fuck you, I don’t have to explain shit!” ;)
