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.

Found the health insurance CEO's Lemmy account. Scared? Maybe stop killing people and they won't feel the need to return the favor.

Or are you afraid that lemmy.world is gonna lose their advertisers? Oh... Wait....

If not unless the platform becomes like, a planning site for murder I doubt any authorities will do much of anything.
