This caught me by surprise, to put it mildly.

So you weren’t fucking informed about this ahead of time?!

I’ve written off Lemmy.world as ever giving a serious consequence to anyone. This update is not remotely acceptable and you well know this. You gave him a warning? Well let me remind you of the fact that you already gave him one. You even said as much publicly. You said you talked to him and told him he was wrong on the Canadian thing and then 3 hours later he turns around and publicly says he has done nothing wrong and has repeatedly doubled down.

This is a perfect demonstration of the fact that he does not care about your warnings. He doesn’t listen to them, he doesn’t take them into account and that you have absolutely no bearing on his decisions.

The admin team has either reached a level of incompetence that I genuinely do not believe exists considering I know a bunch of you or you’re all compromised for some other reason. Whether that’s because you rely on him too much for everything and literally cannot function without him, whether you’re too close friends with him and not actually caring about any reports from users or whatever other reason. But I cannot take you guys seriously when you’re not taking yourself and your own rules seriously.

This administration decision is a fucking joke.

@ruud@lemmy.world you said that you didn’t want Jordan to be the face of Lemmy.world? Well too bad dude. This decision just permanently cemented that Lemmy.world ignores overwhelming evidence of abuse and either actively condones/supports abusive moderators or, at best, doesn’t care about them at all. However this isn’t your best. You’ve seen a constant amount of evidence dripping the entire time he’s been the moderator and you’ve warned him before and he didn’t care. Now you’re doing the same thing when you already know it doesn’t work and if you’re taking the same action and expecting a different outcome? It’s not insanity. It’s willful incompetence.

Not to mention the fact that your cowardice is so extreme you just threw this bomb into the lap of @JonsJava@lemmy.world and @Tenthrow@lemmy.world. You are now forcing them to become complicit. You pushed all judgment over to them. You did not have their backs AT ALL but instead HUNG THEM OUT TO FUCKING DRY. I have no idea where they stand on it but I do know that I’d be pretty pissed if I was them and I do know that as an average user? It makes you admins look even worse than you refused to make a decision and instead passed it onto someone else.

I cannot say this loudly enough.

Lemmy.world is just the Reddit version of Lemmy if this is the way you’re fucking behaving. And I, for one, wanna play no part in it.
