Loser behavior

Wow... Badmouthing this person I've never met for things they actually did? I'm starting 15 instances just so I can ban you from all of them. Would you mind giving me your wife's account so I can ban her too? Or making one if she doesn't already have one? Appreciate it, and fuck you ♥️

lol, why would they remove that rule? The only reason I can think to block someone across subs is to be petty.

Yeah, was gonna say this does not feel very Reddit specific. Just a nobody power tripping.

Lemmy is arguably worse than this. Just check out the mod logs and you’ll see this exact same thing on a massive scale.

Lmao

That's hilarious 😆 now if someone corrects you, you can pass the curse

As someone who used to mod, holy fuck that sounds satisfying.

Right, I did see your name somewhere, but I no longer remember the exact community. Anyway you are now and forever tagged "suddenly: mod" in my client!

How the turns have tabled.

This is how things widely work in nonprofits, churches, and HOAs. Your complaint is interpreted as you volunteering.

I think you were the exception that proves the rule.

Last few times I've pointed out this behavior on lemmy, lemmy.world and piefed admins did the above to me and others.

Wait, that's not what happened?

The ban hammer used to be a tool of the elite, now they just hand them out like candy

Well that's weird, he literally did. I'm a China supporter partly because they treat CEOs with the proper disrespect.

Almost certainly an .ml mod/admin.

They're Tankies and don't like being made fun of. They also define pointing out facts as making fun of them, so you can see how that ends up.

The best thing to do is just ignore .ml and go on with your day.

It's why I ended up abandoning lemmy and moved to piefed. Didn't even want to indirectly support that group by using that platform for my fediverse exploits.

"The ml experience."

It's just missing the part where they call you a fascist pig.

The account too new situation pisses me off so much. It punishes new users.

I love the way everything is harassment to those babies.

Although, the World Cup doesn't seem that popular here :(

Most people here are boycotting it because of how the US has been behaving, both domestic and internationally... Threatening to invade allies, destroying relationships with other countries that go back to the end of WW2 for literally no gain, and the brutalization and illegal imprisonment of brown people in concentration camps, just to name a few things.

Yeah fuck that. Fuck this country and I hope the whole thing is a massive commercial failure.

Anyway, welcome to Lemmy lol

I got banned for "hate" for a comment that said "the nips." Fucking everybody has nipples. It wasn't even sexual.

Had an account for around 8 years, during that time I participated in some more and some less heated arguments on reddit. Had multiple local bans, mostly for some mild stuff whereas the harsher comments would usually slip under the mods' radar.

My account has been permanently banned on the entire reddit only after I went into discussion with some mods for some .ml-level ridiculous decisions.

Obviously arguing with people with power is an oppression to them.

!worldcup@lemmy.world

Ah yes, the other fun side of the coin.

The funky catch-22 of more than half the site.

"You dont have enough karma to post in this sub."

"Your post has been removed because your account is too new."

"Your comment was deleted because you dont have the minimum comment karma to participate."

Okay...so how to I get karma to even join the community?

-fun fact karma farming is also against the reddit tos. They barely enforce it, but its technically wrong enough that if they flag you for some reason then they can ban you.

What a shit hole.

Mods on the modhelp forum were delighted, to not work so hard trying to "review each ban" wether they were deserving of a ban or not. most of them are complicit, rarely some mods will fight for the said user(assuming they a long history with that sub). this right around the time when they were beginning the purges last year.

Hey can you make a picture of the numbers and where they are and can you make a better resolution picture of the dumbbell weight thing? They were pretty popular in the 70ties afaik

Once, years ago after a bad school shooting, I went to the conservative subreddit to argue with them about gun control (specifically improper storage and liability) because I was so bothered by the shooting and was feeling impassioned.

Didn't get banned by the conservatives for that, but I got auto-banned from a whole list of unrelated subreddits for even speaking to them. What kind of mean-girls nonsense is that? It was like I was being ostracized for briefly sitting at the wrong lunch table.

This happens on Lemmy too. Both Lemmy and Reddit are moderated by humans, and humans can be dicks.

crossbans happens, it was really aggressive during around the time when roegan started peddling to right wing base. i commented once on that sub(almost everyone in that sub was pretty making fun of joe roegan). recieved instant ban from other subs as a result.

Users should have the right to vote if a mod should lose their privileges

The best part of the Fediverse is that you can create your own community on your instance with black jack and hookers; no one can tell you that you can't do that.

How dare you engage in discussion on a discussion site.

I'm just glad Aaron Swartz didnt have to see one of his creations turn so far from it's original mission.

You were talking about toxicity of the city. What do you own the world? How do you own disorder?

I downvoted a couple of posts from one conservative community that were swept into my timeline when this account was new and I was looking around. A day later I was banned from it and five other conservative communities I had never heard of. I don't think that was automod, I think some human mods want to keep the community free of opinions they don't like.

If it's a false positive, you should be able to get it resolved by contacting the admins

Try posting in !main@sh.itjust.works

Yeah I was being pedantic and caught a ban for something I completely didn't mean to insinuate. It's just internet culture at this point.

If you ever feel bad about being shunned by predditors, just remember that child trafficker Jizzlane Maxwell was/is a r/worldnews powermod.

I gotta say that this collection of stories plus all the others is starting to feel less like power mods with vendettas and more like a large scale astroturfing campaign intended to weed out people capable of using logic and/or bridging the gap in the various manufactured (or falsely amplified) conflicts dividing people for no good reason.

It's especially weird how many feature "argued about it for 3 messages then admin banned for harassment", especially since reddit's mod problem isn't exactly a secret and they'd be even more aware of it with the full visibility they have and you'd figure they'd want to address it if they were operating on good faith.

Similar experience here. I corrected some wrong statement made on a right wing subreddit, the next day I’m banned from a handful of left wing subreddits.

Well that just tells you that these subs are not for discussion but for echo chambers and lamenting, even if they claim otherwise.

How does moderation review work on Slashdot?

not a surprise for the 3rd time, spez listened to musk after he demanded that pictures of him be removed from reddit. posts about musks are starting to disappear, and bans likely occured too.(especially the ones about him doing the nazi salut, and the one before he got hair implants.

Yep same here. I dont even remember what it was at this point. It started happening so often that I just quit reddit.

I know for at least one I tried to take it to reddit admin as mod abuse but what a joke that was.

You have no right to police my behavior outside of your community and its bullshit reddit allows that kind of abuse of power.

Yeah. Idk why so many people act as if lemmy is somehow different. Same format, same people, same issues. Okay, more instances.

Or Jordan.

If only it were limited to mutes and bans. They wanted users purged from their comment trees anywhere they go.

They do. There's a power-tripping mod for most of the big trans communities that loves to ban people for silly ideological reasons.

Look at this ridiculous shit. What did I do to deserve this? Did I go onto a trans community and start throwing around slurs? No! I would never do that. I'm trans myself. I'm active and help run actual trans support groups in the real world. No, I got mass banned for "gatekeeping" for completely innocuous posts like this:

Or another one here:

The person that moderates these communities is completely out of touch. If any discussion organically arises about the nature of pronouns or the bounds of who counts as trans arise, this out of control mod mass bans anyone that disagrees with her ideology.

Note, I didn't go around harassing people who were using neo-pronouns. (Pronouns other than she/he/they.) It was simply an open discussion that organically developed. I personally find some neo-pronouns pretty ridiculous. Often they don't even meet the definition of a pronoun. But I wasn't forcing that belief on anyone or shoe-horning it in random discussions. I wasn't even addressing anyone who use them. But I went against the party line, so it was time for a purge. These comments had very high upvote/downvote ratios, with greater than 90% of people upvoting rather than downvoting. So her views are clearly extreme even within the Lemmy trans community.

And worst, this power-tripping woman banned me from a bunch of other communities, all justified by the same childish "gatekeeping" bullshit. What's worse is that it's so sudden. Like, it's not like they have a list of topics that are banned from discussion. The mods will allow discussions of these topics and then ban people who give answers they don't like. If your answer to "what does it mean to be trans" is anything short of "it's completely meaningless and has literally no real definition anymore," then you'll be banned for "gatekeeping."

This type of person also exists at your work place, the grocery store, the park, etc. Some people out there are just 🤪

America is a very curious country. It was founded by a war, and it celebrates that war every year. Every citizen has a constitutional right to own weapons.

And yet they're so averse to violence against the powers that be. So meek, so easy to control. The same people with the gadsden flags are the ones who support the police. It's befuddling.

You'd think all of the Star Wars and other movies about violently rebelling against tyranny would sink into their brains.

Idk dude, something tells me that women aren't chomping at the bit to be Reddit mods – outside of strictly female oriented subreddits.

No it does. Men with a degree of power will on average react very poorly to being corrected, especially by women. If a woman mod did this she would likely catch a lot more flack for it and be removed as a mod.

Yup! I got permabanned for suggesting (lightheartedly!) that the guy who had wrecked the local library be put in stocks so the community could pelt them with rotten fruit and veg. Permabanned for inciting violence! Account was, like, 10+ years old.

the only complicated thing is, reddits ban/filtering system especially with AI has been turned way higher than other platform.

Its Lewisville CO... It says CO/Colorado multiple times

A guy being an asshole on the internet is not a good reason to compromise his personal safety. His handle should be blacklisted on the internet, but there's no reason to remove his ability to change his handle and create a better name for himself. The great power of the internet is freedom to reinvent yourself. To rehabilitate yourself. To become better than you were yesterday. Take that away from people, and they stay awful.

People down voting this have never lived a single day off the internet in their lives. Shit bags like this get fucking called out and isolated in an actual functional community.

If you want to put yourself in a position of power you lose the right to hide behind the screen. Fuck off with protecting fucktards who abuse others.
