Apparently they just decided to ban me without proof regardless.

admin Banned @AMillionNames@sh.itjust.works reason: CJO Alt.

Fortunately, because I was not an account on lemmy.world, no comment has really been affected, just their visibility.

I can't speak for accusations I'm not aware off, but the only reason I'm here is because I was following lemmy.world admin's comment history, saw one of them trolling this thread with emoticons, and decided to participate in it by doing what they should have had the competence to do, linking to their own explanation elsewhere. After becoming acquainted with the thread, I also added my two cents about my own experiences with abusive mods, which the comments on this thread are becoming a very good example of, and then I became aware of the flame wars the lem.ee antik account was engaging with.

Thank you, Antik, for confirming what https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/554307/Just-wanted-a-warning-Lemmy-World-is-perhaps-worse-than-reddit (if it's not working, here's the archive ) made me suspect. Sane admins don't go around the thread linking to pedo lemmy instances, they don't get engaged in flame wars, they get in contact with admins and moderators and resolve the problems professionally and with the responsibility that they power they've decided to adopt requires.

Antik and the aptly self-professed clueless_stoner have behaved exactly like the abusive power mods I complained about.

They aren't kids, one of them is at least a grown man in their 40s with an extensive web development career, not that the world isn't full of examples where this clearly isn't enough for maturity or ethics. Even when they are acting completely different, even when they seem completely nice, even when they are completely agreeing with you about abusive mod practices, it won't matter when they decide they don't like you and the paranoia kicks in.

They live in a narcissistic world were they are completely unable of doing wrong so any suspicion is right. Antik made his accusations 10 hours before he decided to ban me, yet still delayed that much, and he already knew of me around ~20 days ago and had responded several times, before this thread with a different excuse. I can't do anything more than link to archives, it's not like I can pull non-existing server logs. Their claims do not have evidence, and don't expect them to be transparent about it. After all, this was too much for them to accept as criticism.

If there ever comes a time when you decide to criticize the lemmy.world administration, don't be surprised if this ends up being you. I don't know if it's the drugs they are on or what, but all it takes is a bullshit accusation, a paranoid suspicion of coincidences that they themselves create. I don't even know if they are doing this consciously, but at this point, they must be at some level.

I don't envy the jobs of admins and mods, but acting like a shithead will make people follow you just as people who violate the rules. That has always been the problem with protests, even small ones, but that does not mean it's the same bad actor organizing it. My best advice is not to act like a shithead, and fortunately, most lemmy admins aren't. Unfortunately, lemmy.world admins, those of the most populated lemmy instance, are.

Oh, and let's not forget the claims directly from the horse's mouth, Izzy, who was a moderator who worked with the admin team. I wasn't too sure about their claims because of their severity, but now they make all the sense in the world:

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
