I honestly don't know what's going on there. The sole mod and contributor of the community keeps posting low quality shit purely to bash on Linux and people kept calling him out in the posts and getting banned from the comm for that.

Now I noticed the same mod has just locked comments on all posts to prevent having to ban anyone commenting on their memes

i just got censored on lemmyshitpost

im still trying to wrap my head around it i made this post about the true history of minion memes and it was actually really good i mean it was informative and it had some great points about how the elites are using minion memes to control our minds but the mods just removed it without even giving a real reason they just said lolwtf like what does that even mean are they trying to say my post was so good it blew their minds or something

because of unconventionally attractive butts

i think its just another case of power tripping mods who cant handle the truth they probably got a little too aroused by the minions butts and didnt know how to deal with it so they just removed the post its absurd can you believe it

well what do you think

is this just another example of the deep state trying to silence us or what take the poll below please right now and let me know what you think okay

I'm just baffled that i've been banned for this, I just wanted evidence that chinese elections are being rigged, and explained why that evidence was insufficient, and what evidence would be??

Context: https://lemmy.world/comment/14224519

I was just browsing some comments and came across this... exchange. In addition to "WTF is wrong with you" I also reported the comment for something like, 'this person is using the plain definition of genocide to discredit the idea of genocide. this person is clearly some kind of bigot/troll, or a deeply ignorant and unserious person. please keep a close eye on this person.' I think that's the reason why another mod responded with the genocide articles. All this before I realized they were a mod. Incidentally, this flyingsquid character is still sealioning that nobody answered them and that "the genocide is, as I said, not all that horrific." At least they put the words in their own mouth this time (downgraded from "you must not think it's all that horrific" -what the fuck!?).

When I checked my inbox this morning I found they had responded, but this time I noticed their name, and the M next to it.

So I ask you, in this context (or any, really), is "...good god, you're a mod here?" uncivil? I think the moderator is silencing legitimate criticism. I think it was the moderator being uncivil throughout. I think this flyingsquid character is a Power Tripping Bastard.

Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

And apparently, also when you think that 'They' is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you're leaving.

Mod Visigoth_860@lemmy.cafe posted a really creepy and pro-pedophilia post at https://lemmy.cafe/post/11105990

Mod immediately bans the two people that call it out as trolls.

Update: post is locked after two more bans

  1. Post in !techtakes@awful.systems attacks the entire concept of AI safety as a made-up boogeyman
  2. I disagree and am attacked from all sides for "posting like an evangelist"
  3. I give citations for things I thought would be obvious, such as that AI technology in general has been improving in capability compared to several years ago
  4. Instance ban, "promptfondling evangelist"

This one I'm not aggrieved about as much, it's just weird. It's reminiscent of the lemmy.ml type of echo chamber where everyone's convinced it's one way, because in a self-fulfilling prophecy, anyone who is not convinced gets yelled at and receives a ban.

Full context: https://ponder.cat/post/1030285 (Some of my replies were after the ban because I didn't PT Barnum carefully enough, so didn't realize.)

!world@lemmy.world mods once again proving their incapacity to host a space for “world” news.

Terminology citation

Under Canada's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, the terms government and Government of Canada refer specifically to the prime minister, Cabinet, and other members of the governing party inside the House of Commons, but typically includes the federal public service and federal departments and agencies when used elsewhere.[7] This differs from the United States, where the executive branch is referred to as an administration and the federal government encompasses executive, legislative, and judicial powers, similar to the Canadian Crown.

Emphasis mine. In particular I note that capitalization is not a factor. The fact that Voroxpete didn’t specify “capital G Government” doesn’t make a difference as I originally thought when reading.

This guy is clearly snooping the downvoters as an instance admin and retaliating against them. Wouldn't even have noticed if I didn't stumble onto the modlog in Voyager by accident.

I might be of course wrong in my assumption. But I don't remember ever interacting with anyone from that instance, I'm not subscribed to those communities and the dates correlate.

mod Banned granolabar from the community News

reason: Continued trolling, previously banned.

mod Removed Comment North Korea by granolabar reason: Trolling

mod Removed Comment NK by granolabar reason: Trolling

mod Removed Comment It is a essentially an anti elite shill campaign along with sign of solidarity with Luigi, he did it or not, and you show up to the party with: > askhually murder is bad guys, mkkay... Like no shit sherlock, but that's what are focusing here on. Murder is provocative and it got people talking about health insurance being a scam and the relationship these companies have with people who pay for everything. But sure murder is bad, Brian Thompson is a piece of shit so nobody cares. They prefer to care about the people he killed and hopefully a new system where there is no room for his kind. There dozens off the shelf solutions, just do it. by granolabar reason: Calling for violence

Noticed reddit is also now getting suppressed. I guess it was matter of time.

Makes you wonder why somebody on fedi would be playing along with what American ruling class needs...

Honestly, I'm not mad, its just funny how state/corporate sponsored violence is all okay but a pleb making a joke (its not even a real threat c'mon) is not okay.

Delay, Deny, Depose. Remember, Remember the 4th of December.

Formatting in the modlogs is weird since the spacing is messed up, but the original comment looked like this:

Netanyahu:

Delays ending the genocide for as long as he can

Deny that genocide is happening

Next comes Depose

Great, what next?

"Kill Hitler" also gets removed? 🤣

Also: Depose =/= Kill

Need to talk about mod action but don't know for sure if it deserves a full post? Write about it here. A mod is just threatening actions instead of actually doing it? Someone just removed your witty comment because they lack humor? A self-important sticky announcement? Generally having no chill? This might be the spot for you.

If you write something and it comes up worthy of a full post, feel free to make a full one later one about it. No judgement.

Remember you can always post about acts in other websites as well, not just lemmy.

Inspired by the !techtakes@awful.systems stubstacks.

For context, I generally report all calls to violence, no matter who the “victim” is, whether they are a public figure or an anonymous user. I didn’t even register that the person I was “defending” was rich—I’m just aware that calls to violence are against most instances’ terms of service (due to legal threats). Genuinely sorry seahorse! I wish you just had something in your instance sidebar or even spoke to me instead of jumping to ban and “lib” insults!

Unverifiable information you will have to take my word for (per community rules)
Apologized to seahorse and got:

My own personal curiosities only adjacently relatedCorrect me if I’m wrong, isn’t this a bit of an abuse of federation? This is the same admin that pulled the move with the doxxing of Nick Fuentes. By banning users for reporting content that may violate our local instance rules, seahorse is making our local instances harder to moderate for our admins. (Honestly I respect the commitment to the running a very open and uncensored instance, but until Lemmy has the option to only report to local admins versus local & federated authorities, this may not be the best strategy?)

Anyway, this is pretty interesting. I’m honestly not too pressed about this (mostly I will miss !theonion@midwest.social) and curious what yall think. :)

The first sentence on the Wikipedia page for it calls it "a disputed medical condition." Even the CIA itself has admitted that cases are not caused by "a sustained global campaign by a hostile power." The State Department similarly released a report that it was highly unlikely the symptoms were caused by any sort of directed energy weapon. In fact, seven different US intelligence agencies released a consensus statement saying, "available intelligence consistently points against the involvement of US adversaries in causing the reported incidents."

But the clowns on .world don't care about things like truth or evidence, or even direct statements from the people who's boots they have in their mouths. If it makes an enemy of the US look bad, then it is absolute truth, and anything short of complete faith and loyalty must be purged from conversation.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1194 readers
1 users here now

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  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).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
