If you look at modlog, you'll clearly see I've never had any history of infraction at LW.

I've never been anything but clear that I am not Dr. Wesker.

The name of this account was a tongue-in-cheek jab at Dr. Wesker, who was previously removed as a moderator of this community, because he wasn't responding to the myriads of reports the posts and comments in this community receive.

I regard this ban as a hostile and overreaching attack on the platform as a whole.

Lemmy.world has clearly homogenized a large subsection of the Lemmy fediverse, and now they throw this weight around to deafen and disconnect all of their local userbase from people of other instances that they decide from on high are "persona non grata."

I am aware what Dr. Wesker was banned from LW for.

Conversely, I suggest that Lemmy.world administrators themselves have weaponized the current technical misgivings of the Lemmy federated platform.

I believe admin removed this post. I've restored it because I feel like it contains important community dialogue.

It's true doctor whiskers was banned and removed from the mod team for gate keeping. It is also true their ban was lifted recently after tribunal. It is however untrue that I am doctor whiskers.

For clarity, I didn't ban you, someone higher than myself did. I did however remove the spam posts. Feel free to lodge complaints in just this singular post.

Also, I am not dr whiskers.

This is just a support hotline. There may be other communities that better suit this criteria, if it's what you'd prefer.

Posters are free to do this, but it's not a rule.

I don't understand, why would they post here then?

This community is intended to be a support group for when you've been abused by mods somewhere on the fediverse.

I'm not sure how you could abuse the mods, because of the deep history of systemic oppression of users at the hands of mods. The power dynamic simply doesn't allow for it.

First of all, things have started to change around here. Very exciting!

But listen.

I'm serious about the new "no victim blaming" rule. This is a safe space. This isn't Ye Hippie Dippin' Bastards where the village idiots are allowed to weigh in with their acronyms. Victim blaming is a banable offense now.
