1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards
2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Community Ban
3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
(I have not posted there)
Likewise the community has no rules listed, so I'm not sure how I've broken rule 4
Davel is probably going to try to claim me downvoting a post or comment of his that popped up on my feed or something as me breaking the entire instances rule 4 (no spam?) - which is why I need to be banned only from one community I don't engage in.
Lemmy.ml admin Davel has been rage downvoting my posts a lot lately, even going so far as to downvote me telling real legitimate antisemites to 'fuck off'.
Even CowBee had the decency to admit they were in the wrong and change their ragevote to an upvote.
Davel however seems to especially thinskinned even for the typical .ML'er and would rather double down and engage in poorly disguised retaliation bans for criticisms of a political ideology.
This thought terminating behaviour on display by one of the admins of such a reputable and outstanding instance as Lemmy.ml was not at all warranted and I hereby call on the leadership at lemmy.ML to unban me so that I may continue to not post in their community.
YDI - you clearly don't like lemmy.ml so why are you upset they are helping to curate your feed. Some divisionsbyzero mods ban people from their communities when it isn't a right fit for them, even if the user never posted/commented in the moderator's community.
It's one thing when some random unknown person does it with their own personal communities. It's a bit different when it's an instance administrator. I think you will at least acknowledge that.
They won't acknowledge shit.
Edit: using gender neutral terms when you don't know the person's gender isn't misgendering, it's common sense and respectful. Going back to my original words. If she has a problem with it, she can get on her real account.
Hi Hexbear! You're so mad at me documenting the actions of users and alt accounts. I'm sure that's not related to the fact I pinged the account at all.
Is it really "kicking someone off" when she herself admitted that she doesn't use this site anymore? Sorry I called out someone's bad faith actions. I'll make sure to do it next time on a new alt, like y'all do.
Maybe that would matter if Deceptichum was banned from the entire instance, he is only banned from Communism and has a pretty lengthy modlog https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=8673545
Is... is there a rule anywhere that says thats how the comm operates?
Or are we just all supposed to assume potentially any comm is run by the invisible and artibrary whims and unstated rulesets of mods?
They're not... I don't think they are upset they cannot participate in a comm they did not participate in. That's not the point.
The point is the the princple, or lack thereof.
If you want to have an instance wide rule that actually codifies, in some way, the ability of admins/powermods to ban anyone, from anywhere, for any reason... then that would be shitty, but at least openly and transparently shitty.
Then at least Dictatorship of the Daveletariat would at least be, you know, explicitly stated policy?
... does such a public facing rule or ruleset already exist, and I just missed it?
I was just pointing out that there are multiple communities on the threadiverse that do the same thing, including some hosted on this very instance! A community moderator's job is to grow a community and if a person isn't a right fit for the community why would a moderator want to keep them around, especially if they are disruptive to the community
Ok, so they deserve being banned for ... breaking an undefined rule.
That's your position?
EDIT: the whole problem here is this person got banned from a comm they'd never been to... for spamming.
That doesn't make sense.
You saying them being banned from a comm they'd never been to... for disrupting that comm... also does not make any sense.
The other element of this problem is powermods (by which I mean people who mod multiple comms) and admins banning people from one place for infractions committed in another, and then potentially daisy chaining through private convos between mods... when said banned person isn't really clearly violating stated rules that have that stated penalty outcome.
That is exactly the kind of hivemind/culty bullshit that is what people hate about reddit, that there's basically just a cool kids club that doesn't actually follow any rules with any consistency, and just acts as a kind of Mean Girls squad, exiling and censoring people ... basically for annoying them or making fools of them.
Its middle school mentality. Vibes based moderation. Censorship by popularity contest, where only the cool kids get to vote on that.
What the fuck is wrong with you? I left your goddamn instance because of this shit to come over here and you are diagnosing me as seriously mentally ill. I'm sorry you all won I won't make another comment in this community again. Just Stop.
Admin here. I'm sorry you had a bad experience and that this post got necroed again. The YPTB community tends to be quite combative in nature, so I agree it's probably a good idea to give it a miss if internet slap fights aren't your thing.
I'd like to also take this opportunity to point out the disengage rule, which can be very helpful to short-circuit this type of situation. While it's too late this time around, hopefully you can put it to good use in future.
FYI, I'm issuing a warning and a community ban to @eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com. It's not ok to gang up on and bad-jacket other users, especially Flotilla members, just because you disagree with them. Lurkers can also be legit users.
Also, as very little of this comment thread was at all relevant to the post topic, I've now removed most of it.
Thank you I should have disengaged and have blocked those two
I don't know what happened in the thread since it's two months old already but i'm sorry you had to deal with this. Unruffled has dealt with the necroes. You're welcome on this instance and you are always free to DM admins here for help in case stuff like this ever happens.
Thank you I realize I should have used the disengage and block earlier so lesson learned
I don't know what the fuck hexbear is or why you are so obsessed with me. I stopped using lemmy because of the horrible experience I had in this post, saw a degoogle post that mentioned piefied so I made a new account here to get away and when I went to look at what communities I had subscribed to on the lemmy account I see you are still talking about me.
Please stop, I don't want anything to do with you or this community and won't make the mistake of commenting here again.
Quoting you here, as it applies to you:
The place you originally posted this was particularly ironic as she has 'alt of sunshine' in her bio.
Woman who disagrees with you and doesn't log in rather than continue engaging with you: alt account to be ridiculed
Woman who agrees with you and has 'alt account of xyz' in bio: not an alt, no evidence
Incredible consistency which I have come to expect from you
You have as many posts as I do with an account thats been active half as long, I think the person needing to go do praxis is you. every week I'm outside doing stuff, I even had a federal agent threaten to arrest me last year.
You could easily be referring to all the people raging about 'the tankie triad' with this.
The vast majority of the time I look at someone complaining about getting censored on .ml they were either being bigoted or insulting people.
As for vibes based moderation and censoring people for actions in other places, I got banned from quokk.au by their admin for 'brigading' because I cross-linked to a db0 thread complaining about the OPs mod actions. 'brigading' is nowhere in the site rules for quokk.au as far as I'm aware. I am also the only person to have ever been banned by quokk.au in this way so far.
I was banned for 'homophobia' by OP because I complained about his post having a misogynistic title.
You are literally the one defending a powermod who bans people in retaliation, because they got banned from one comm that they clearly despise for being a toxic asshole.
I recently got community banned by OP for 'homophobia', because I pointed out their misogynistic post title, I then got site banned w/ remove account from the OP's admin, because they didn't like that I cross posted the link to my own thread on db0
OP is making a big stink over shit he does himself, all of these rules are selectively enforced. people just rend their garments when .ml does it
