I can't speak for the other mods or admins, but the only comments I find delete worthy are a) reported by other users and b) break communuty or site rules.
First, my time is valuable and I'm not going to scroll through comments looking for stuff to delete, I have better things to do.
Second, when stuff does get reported, waaaayyy too often it's two users engaged in a slap fight and doing the whole "imma report you!" "no, imma report you first" thing.
If it doesn't break the rules? I leave it alone. If it does? Maybe everyone needs a time out to cool off.
Moderation is probably 1/2 keeping things on track by deleting obvious spam and abuse and 1/2 telling the kids to settle down and go to their room.
I get it and that's why I think you're doing a good job. Not a fan of modding in general and I have mad respect for those who do it well. I am not thrilled with the Lemmy World admins.
You have not voiced a single valid complaint about the admins. You keep whining about things you think are happening or have made up.
You're the problem.
