MODERATORS
 

I am seeing a huge increase in posts and comments that incite violence, make threats of violence against specific people, or that celebrate real-world instances of violence and murder. There are hundreds of comments on this instance posted over the past day that brazenly violate rule #1 "We do not tolerate threats of and calls for violence in any form against any living creature".

Many offending comments have been dealt with by mods, but some mods are seemingly allowing this violent rhetoric in their respective sub-communities. There are many active threads about the UHC CEO right now on lemmy.world that are filled with violent rule-breaking comments, and very little visible moderation.

Given that the mods are either unable or unwilling to enforce this most fundamental content rule, when can we expect the admins to get involved and start handing out bans to the users that have been celebrating murder and inciting more violence? It's pretty out of control right now, and I'm betting that the admins could find themselves in hot water with the authorities if this continues to go unchecked.

brazenly violate rule #1 “We do not tolerate threats of and calls for violence in any form against any living creature”.

I've seen so many caveats and exemptions to this rule, its a complete joke.

As with literally every other service calling for violence against the targets of US foreign policy is completely fine, but don't you dare say it the other way!
