probably don't even post or interact with lemmy.ml. strip them of influence by simply disengaging from their squishy power
So the Fediverse equivalent of being banned from /r/Pyongyang?
You have been banned from /r/Pyongyang
You're free to argue about that stuff, it just seems like a lot of Redditors are not used to dealing with any opposition. After all, your opinions aren't the ones being nuked off of mainstream social media!
Could it be an instance ban?
Ah! Really!? Then that maybe what it is. I went looking through the modlog and kept thinking "again?" over and over as I saw similar entries. Okay, maybe it isn't as bad?
In other situations, mass bans sometimes happen because it's easier. Moderators often use custom scripts they've written to ease the administration burden. Personally, I don't even provide a reason for bans, its just one more field to fill, and for the benefit of someone disruptive or acting in bad faith? Why bother.
Moderators don't owe anyone anything. If you don't like a mod, it costs you nothing to spin up another community. Hell, if you do it on another instance, you can even have the same name, and with crosspost merging apparently coming to this corner of fedi, it makes even less difference.
What do you mean by, "should?" Why do you think mods owe the community something?
Do admins, who not only put effort but actual money and other personal resources into providing a server, owe something to their mods? Or do WE owe our admins?
Can I have a list of communities you mod so I can avoid them?
It's lemmy.ml...
Their mods don't do much, it was likely an admin banning them from everywhere.
It's incredibly common with .ml, and why people are better off blocking the whole instance
A lot of the small ones are like that. And a lot even use a bot to ban if someone isn't subscribed. So it's possible all you did was down ote a brain rot meme and now you're banned from all those places.
I'm not banned (yet), it was something I saw in the modlog whilst checking something else.
I didn't realise it was so common. Why are people so awful to one another :(
This user was banned for being anti-Semitic and telling people to kill themselves. Also, when you're instance-banned, you automatically get banned from the communities you were active in. The mod didn't manually ban them from all those communities. When you attempt to post to a community in an instance you're banned from that you weren't active in, the instance-ban means the post won't federate.
Yeah .ml has its issues but this person is a good reason to ban. It's fair to ban someone this genuinely fucked up.
Some instances pre-emptively ban users if they happen to have a history of malicious behaviour. Can't say I can blame the mods and admins for not wanting to put up with the user's behaviour and the barrage of reports that could follow. Sometimes it's less of a workload to just ban them than wait for their inevitable trolling.
That's not the same person. Notice how the order of the community bans don't match up. Joey just wanted to sound like a hero again.
It is the same person. The order can vary depending on the instance. OP is from lazysoci.al and the modlog order on their instance looks exactly the same as their screenshot https://lazysoci.al/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2246232
The coloring isn't the same in the link though.
Thanks, didn't realise it was a historic issue. Only just noticed.
I guess I should expect to be banned from a bunch of communities for even mentioning it. It's so petty and shows how thin-skinned people can be. Shouldn't be mods if they can't perform the role objectively.
lemmy.ml is a trap run by literal communists (who also happen to be the main developers of the lemmy software) it's basically like the Lion King scene "but what's that shadowy place?" "oh that's lemmy.ml, we don't go there"
But the nice thing about federation is that even thought it's run by the developers, we don't have to participate there and they evidently don't want us "sheep" to participate there either so we can have a mutually beneficial relationship of not having anything to do with one another.
Hopefully more apps start to support piefed and maybe more instances will make the switch, allowing us to jettison there need for ml's lemmy development.
That person was banned for anti-semitism and various other trolling: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?userId=17758269 . And banning from each community is the current hack for how to also do instance bans(fixed already in main)
Creating public modlogs was almost pointless, because people just use screenshots instead of actual modlog links.
I just learnt this in another comment. I didn't realise instance bans were reported like this.
Re: screenshots -- this community rules require censored screenshots.
No probs. It's always better to link the actual modlog, otherwise you have no idea why someone was banned.
The account you linked is from lazysoci.al but the one in the screenshot is from lemmy.world. It looks like it's this one https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=3194530
Ah. That person is telling people to kill themselves, so that ban also makes sense.
its .ml
that means the user either said something not-nice about china or russia
or they implied america isnt 100% bad and has some redeeming features
average .ml moment
I know which user you're talking about, however this screenshot was a different user a few hours before. Seems like it happens way more often than I realised.
yeah that's basically how an instance ban works. since you're on a differrent instance with different rules, you might not be dealing with the same issues.
you can check out powertrippinbastards for examples of mod power uses that you might not agree with, and if ever you disagree with how your instance handles modding, you can change it.
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
It's simple. Don't criticize China in any community hosted on Lemmy.ml 😂
