Is it possible to ask if the AskLemmy mods are Dicks without being Rude?

[iww4@lemmy.zip]

I can’t imagine the absolute nightmare that is moderating any online community..

I bow down and salute anyone who is a moderator!!

Without specifics, this is a meaningless question with an embedded insult.

I tried it at r*ddit briefly. Oh boy. Never again.

Dicks without being Rude?

I don't know... aren't dicks always a little rude?

Just a few days ago I was in a discussion about misgendering people online, and a lemmy.world mod who was advocating against it didn’t like my theory about why some people do it. Their response was to attack me personally by intentionally misgendering me and calling me a “lady.”

I’m not sure what their reasoning was there, but the only way I can interpret it is that they see women as the lesser sex - so by implying I’m not a guy, they’re saying I’m lesser as well.

Don't see it as an attack. See it as a compliment.

Mine is well behaved

Being the Big Boss is really easy. Being the underboss (which mods generally are) is much harder. Doing so in a committee is the worst.

Mod here. We are dicks without being rude, yes.

That shit has been going on forever. This song was so, so popular.

This is pretty funny and the comments here are great, so I'll leave it up but if theres a lot of really toxic arguments here or anything I'll remove it

Hey, I was just bustin' balls. Thanks for taking it in stride.
