Surely it would be simpler if moderators just tried to get up the courage to moderate.

Explain.

You have the entirety of the rules at your disposal. What rule has anyone broken, that I have personally neglected out of cowardice.

    See my replies to the other mod.

    It's true that no rule has been broken, but moderators have the discretion to reject submissions that add nothing to a community. Again: 3 posts on this single incident in one day, in this community - which is not dedicated to the USA or to politics let alone to both - is too much. I refuse to believe you can't see that. So... courage.

    I've made my point.

    You've made a point, but I'm not sure you're making the right point in the right community.

    In the past day, eighteen posts were made.

    The three objectionable ones, which I'm assuming were The Killing of Alex Pretti, the List of Shootings by US Immigration agents in the second Trump presidency, and Abolish ICE, are three separate but related topics directly targeting insane abuses of power brought around by the current regime.

    3/18= 17%

    Add in a few other US leaning and political posts (including the Little Eichmanns post that I'm offended that you're not including in your screed), and it's a quarter of the posts, from a bad day for America.

    The other wiki communities share the message as well- !wikipedia@lemmy.ml and !wikipedia@sh.itjust.works are also hosting the same top three Objectionable Topics, which might add to your sense of overwhelm.

    I won't pull down valid submissions for the same reason I don't give you a 24 hour ban when you get trolly and obstinate in the comments. I want people to see, and make up their own minds.
