Female and old enough to be an avid user of IRC, AOL chatrooms, Myspace, etc.

Really quite sad that I was removed without any sort of communication or a chance to respond, I have spent months removing posts and comments that were against the code of conduct. I have responded to criticism regarding the moderation of the community in the past and the way this has occurred has broken my heart about a community i cared about.

I'll share some recent quotes from messages I've sent to other mods and admins:

"Hello I wanted to send a message to say that I am interested in helping more. I really like lemmy.world and want the platform to succeed and want to help."

"Even if another is chosen for these roles I would be happy to help as a community moderator to help lemmy.world grow and continue to be the best lemmy instance! Thanks for everything you and the admin team do 🙂"

Thanks for the alternate sources I edited the post to change the link

Rule 1

The previous had a post title that did not match the article title

Hamas is using Turkish drones https://www.yenisafak.com/...

would you be willing to add me back to the team? I did nothing wrong and care about the world news community?

Many scientists have discussed the impact that positive feedback loops have in climate science and why events will occur with increasing frequency and severity in the coming years:

Here are some short films that discuss the various areas that these occur within.

For me I have hope that by spreading awareness and organizing we can work together to pressure our governments around the world to embrace the change needed

From what I understand Putin is using a stricter definition of "cluster bombs" as a muntition containing a bomblets submunition.

I have seen of Russian videos munitions are hypersonic missiles, thermobaric bombs (incendiary submunition), and timed remote mine submunitions (a timed self-destruct feature or one that turns it inert after a while) but none utilizing a pressure fuse like the butterfly mines that were used by Ukraine.

They are terrible weapons regardless of definition

thank you, I don't really care about top mod and if i made some big mistake to be demoted from that i only wish to know so i can do better. If the admins don't want me to be a moderator any more i would appreciate knowing what I did wrong for closure. I have been removed from the discord when removed from being a moderator so can only communicate here.

If only I had 2000 euros to spare for this beauty...

Love this album, great post!

Happy new year!

Yes I agree, having laws against fake-news is really important now that A.I can quickly write bogus stories and image/video deep fakes are easily made

yet they often don't view taking testosterone to counter the effects of low-t as a violation of the natural order

I don't really have much choice but thank you

I like to use "Hot" instead of active as it seems to fetch posts from a more diverse set of communities

I've also heard that view by new comments is solid as well

I temporarily banned you for violating the rules of the community more then once

Please use this time to reflect, read, and pray for you have clearly lost your way

News communities are very important to the discussion of events which impact many people lives

When you make these sort of comments the quality of the post is degraded

In addition the rules are clear for all to read

I will pray for the malice which poisons your heart against the fellow man to leave your body and mind

I have constantly had timely response to reports they can look at my mod actions or actions on reports for that. The sidebar is currently as I had last changed it, so you can see that posting full articles or using a means to by-pass paywalls are forbidden. I personally have removed posts that violated that rule. As far as I knew the /c/world community was in sync with the us focused c/news and c/politics communities and was never told of anything that was wrong. A large part of why this was so upsetting to me as I had no communication or warning, just I wake up to be removed from moderation and removed from the discord. Thank you for acting as an intermediary.

The upcoming election in Taiwan is very important there is some discontent with the DPP, as shown here: https://twitter.com/...

Also this article has a great breakdown of the political situation there: https://jamestown.org/...

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/...

"Shortly after Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) suffered the worst loss in its 37-year history, Nikkei Asia Review published an article entitled “Taiwan’s KMT has a mountain to climb for 2024 presidential race” that cautioned not to read too much into the opposition Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) success in the local elections last November (Nikkei Asia, November 29, 2022)."

"Much like its handling of the pandemic, the Tsai administration’s cross-Strait policy was popular early in her second term, but is showing signs of strain given its inflexible nature. To be sure, Taiwanese elected Tsai in part because they trusted her more than the KMT’s 2020 presidential nominee Han Kuo-yu to safeguard Taiwan’s sovereignty and way of life. As Tsai defeated Han in a landslide in which she received 57.1 percent of the vote, she entered her second term with a strong mandate to stand firm against Chinese aggression (Taipei Times, January 12, 2020). However, the ripple effect from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last August has complicated what had been a straightforward task for the DPP. As long as China’s coercion of Taiwan was confined to sanctions, poaching of diplomatic allies and small-scale gray-zone activity, the Tsai administration could focus on strengthening ties with the U.S., Japan and other democracies, while taking care not to escalate tensions with Beijing. The DPP faced little public pressure to re-establish dialogue with China given it’s hostility toward Taiwan, especially when the pandemic occupied the attention of Taiwanese society. Pelosi’s visit was a game changer, though. Even if many Taiwanese welcomed the diplomatic recognition the visit conferred on their country, after observing China’s unprecedented martial muscle flexing, they realized that the stakes of this game had risen sharply"

As with most countries the prospect of a war that could destroy economy, kill citizens, and prevent any peaceful discussions is one not favored by most.

Absolutely heartbreaking, my support for the NZ people
