Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

The way they talk to the mods is absolutely infuriating and the "best" part is they they don't even recognize it themselves.
Right!? I strait up heard in my head:
Hey Mr Manager, [email protected] here, some dude on Lemmy. So, we’ve all had a... time away from Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been idk fine I guess, and begin the “hey man how's it going?” conversation.
Not trying to be rude but what part specifically rubbed you in the wrong way? I can see it came off as a little formal but nothing that struck out to me.
Also, that "we have had...a time" line is just disingenuous as hell. That's younger-millenial colloquial, and the social context for it only works when there isn't a power imbalance. This guy's a VP at the company that's been kicking people around: he doesn't get to take that tone.
I guess some people react to it and other don't. I'm not trying to be rude either - I just mean that the language that you call "formal" comes off as extreamly disconnected from the community to some of us.
Reddit should be grateful for moderators working for free to moderate their site, and the way they talk to these moderators is absolutely fascinating. I can only assume it comes from living your life around corporate bullshit to the degree that it becomes normal to you.
Normal human decency, friendliness, sense of humor, compassion... Reddit leadership doesn't have these qualities. Corporate bullshit is a term for when you fake these emotions to reach a strategic goal, such as trying to make people work in the same direction even when it's not in their interest to do so.
I think the part where they pretend like they give a shit
It’s specifically the “I’m here to recognize it and acknowledge it and talk about it” part followed up by no recognizing, acknowledging, or talking about anything substantial.
