    Going to beat the dead horse but this is another situation where you should be looking long and hard on if Jordan should be a mod.

    People will continue to call this and anyone else doing a witch hunt but in this very thread he’s caused a massive comment chain where he acts un modlike and contradicts himself and the rules which muddies an already blurry line. While bragging that he can do it as mod.

    Finally unrelated to that what bearing does the usa doj have when lemmy.world isn’t in the usa?

    Edit 2 days later.

    Didn’t expect a response but still shocked there wasn’t

    Edit 2 since mod replied to locked thread.

    Turns out all it takes is to be nice to the other mods and they’ll turn a blind eye to anything.

    And lw blocking vpns is always easy to forget and a really really annoying and terrible decisions for users

      The last I heard about mod removals the admins wanted no responsibility to implement it. I don’t see the other mods rallying to a removal when the admins won’t say one way or the other. I personally find at least 90% agreement with other mod actions and I’m less senior, so it’s not really for me to make a stink, unlike the admins if they so choose imo. As far Jordan specifically, I get along with him personally and also see instances where speaking as a mod wasn’t the best look. It’s minor imo when we’re just told to enforce rules, not some undefined etiquette. We’ll all naturally do this differently from each other with no specifics given, so the standard falls back (without admin input) on following the rules ourselves. If you feel any comment breaks the rules the report it. We do not resolve reports related to our own names and conversations.

      Bearing on USA systems is that this is US Politics and VPNs aren’t supported on .world. I don’t suspect the community would prosper under a blacklisting scenario.
