Lemmy.world Rammy Statement (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

107 comments fedilink hide all child comments

We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.

We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.

Nah, you’re not gonna muddy these waters, the right by far outweighs in terms of extremists.

They’re literally conservative religious people. It isn’t rocket science just look at the Middle East

Muddy what waters? Maybe see more of my replies for context.

Who are we talking about "They’re literally conservative religious people", as in the rammy trolls or everyone right leaning? Because I already agreed the 20secs I saw the homepage it was unmodded, uncensored crazies.

Where does the middle east come in here, you say it like I'm already supposed to know. I also said, I block news and politics, left other social networks because of all the politics.

I started this as in, why divide and basically make tribes like "Anyone in a different party is bad". And I never said left or right was worse, I said I've had the bad luck from coming across both but that don't mean all left or all right is all bad...

Sure I can clarify!

So when you said “why does it have to be a right leaning and not some other side” and then said in your edit that not all of one side is bad - it eludes to your point being (from what I understand) “it wasn’t right to assume it was conservatives”

I’m arguing that they are largely responsible for extremism and are likely correlated to strict conservative religious upbringings. I then provided an example of the Middle East and terrorism in general correlating (in this case directly) with strict, dominant religious upbringings (I made this last term up, I just mean religions that expressly condone other religions)

Could you link where I said “why does it have to be a right leaning and not some other side” such as you quoted, I didn't mean to put it that way, because my point is I hate sides, especially bad apples poisoning the whole barrel (left or right). What I said was:

"What makes it possible right wing and not just a troll farm? Sincerely curious why make the divide and note."

And in regards to my edit, I explained in one reply that I'm new here (https://lemmy.world/comment/2127411). And now I see I probably should've added that in my edit as well that I was coming at this literally being fresh to lemmy with no history and trying to understand why ppl were bashing all right wing with this group. After this reply https://lemmy.world/comment/2126263 I had more background on the fact that it is a known group that does this often.

However, I have still defended that correlating a bad group (as I agreed with multiple times) that is part of a large group makes the whole group bad, I don't believe is a good way of looking at it imo.

It’s not necessarily going to be an accurate judgment but it is likely that you will be correct if predicting (that means purely predicting, not taking any real action or indirect action, only guesses) which is what the commenter you responded to was doing.

Generalization when used to prejudge someone’s character and taking action, especially serious action is very bad. But predicting the responsible party of an openly hateful and vile event based off previous events is just fine. It should not ever be labeled as fact without evidence however.

Don’t worry about being new, it’s all good we’re just havin a discussion. The quote I did originally was supposed to be by understood summary of what you were saying but I only said that for the second point I made and didn’t go back to fix it - sorry about that
