I made this post saying that we should bend community rules sometime, but it get downvoted, so I think most Lemmy users disagree. I’m kinda confused - should I remove posts and ban users if they break rules even slightly?
For example, this post on [email protected] doesn’t actually fit the community rules, but I didn’t delete it because it was made in good faith.
I usually lock posts that violate rule 5, for example. But usually remove ones that violate rule 1,3 or 4.
As a fellow lemmy mod, I think that the post you mentioned that is about archive.org recovering should have been removed, because it just does not fit the theme of the community, regardless of whether it was made in good faith or not. You also shouldn’t always rely on what the members of the community say, you need to have your own judgement as a mod and make rational decisions.
Thanks. So, It depend on me too.
