I was just browsing some comments and came across this... exchange. In addition to "WTF is wrong with you" I also reported the comment for something like, 'this person is using the plain definition of genocide to discredit the idea of genocide. this person is clearly some kind of bigot/troll, or a deeply ignorant and unserious person. please keep a close eye on this person.' I think that's the reason why another mod responded with the genocide articles. All this before I realized they were a mod. Incidentally, this flyingsquid character is still sealioning that nobody answered them and that "the genocide is, as I said, not all that horrific." At least they put the words in their own mouth this time (downgraded from "you must not think it's all that horrific" -what the fuck!?).
When I checked my inbox this morning I found they had responded, but this time I noticed their name, and the M next to it.
So I ask you, in this context (or any, really), is "...good god, you're a mod here?" uncivil? I think the moderator is silencing legitimate criticism. I think it was the moderator being uncivil throughout. I think this flyingsquid character is a Power Tripping Bastard.
Flying squid is probably the most pathetic human being I've ever encountered. They've hid behind having a supposed terminal illness for no reason when I criticised their modding practices, and claimed I was mocking their self proclaimed Jewish heritage when I wished them a merry Christmas. Just a sad sad human being.
New drinking game, take a drink every time flying squid ends up on this community. He and Jordan Lund are absolute shit stains.
"The people who are still in the community manage to tolerate me, I must be doing something right."

Funny how you removed the actual reason from the sentence. Anyway, you think teaching in the local language is ethnic genocide, so no, you don't think genocide is all that bad - nearly every refugee experiences the exact same thing. Do you think English schools teach in Ukranian and Urdu? Do you think there are German schools teaching in French and Arabic?
Look man, it's pretty simple - If you think being taught in the local language is genocide, you don't think that genocide is that bad. Unless you do actually think that having to speak english in england and spanish in spain is a bad thing, which would be completely delusional. Don't blame us for the internal logic - or lack thereof - of your beliefs
No, that's not incivility.
And in case he changes the comment saying "genocide is not all that horrific", here's an archive: https://archive.is/Frsby
Let me see if there's a way to report a mod to the admins.
Edit: yeah, if you message @lwreport@lemmy.world it goes to the admins.
Edit 2: 24 hours later, comments are still up and no response from the admins.
