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:
Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can
before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com
i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:
and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you'll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.
it was less than 2 hours. it's almost not worth discussing.
but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planne
I thought this silly. Banned for violating rule 1 (sexism, descrimination, etc). Literally laughing irl right now since my post was specifically antidiscrimination.
So I stopped using a community do to a post seemingly being removed. Feedback on things is not great for what im working from now and im not good with using the modlog link areas and such. Now I had someone relate to me to post on this about that but im like. Nah seems like a drama thing. Thing is I have got 404's what I assume is removed links and they seem like relatively legit posts. One was from stamets saying why he is leaving on casual conversation and I know that user is pretty legit so it seems like his and the others I have seen is based on mods not liking the content. So im writing here just to find out if other folks are seeing this. I mean we are the federation so can just move on to some other place. I may just now block communities that have a bs removal as I don't want to associate with whoever is doing the bs mods. What do people think?
Adding some as I think I have issues getting to the point. My end questions are:
I made a post about the Europeans who are being deported from Germany for being anti-genocide. https://lemmy.ml/post/28407953
A user repeated the now many times debunked lie that these victims facing deportation were "violent racist rioters". Blatant German propaganda, made up to smear opposition to the genocide in Palestine. Which Germany supplies 30% of the weapons for.
After calling them, and a few other users out for repeating the same lie, the moderators banned me.
This is actually insane. Another user was criticizing the New Deal era and brought up a bunch of points, I commented refuting a bunch of their points but describing two of of them, Japanese Internment and the Red Scare, simply as "legitimate criticism."
@[email protected] responded "No they’re not. Those two things were caused by far greater international factors. Like, you know, the 2nd World War."
I cited a commission that found that internment was not caused by a legitimate threat posed by the Japanese but was rather caused by racism and hysteria, and that even Reagan agreed with that conclusion and signed a bill paying reparations to the victims.
Well then the mod responded that I was jumping to "inflammatory conclusions" and "personal attacks" because I assumed that when they said that criticism of internment is not legitimate it meant that they were defending internment. They continued to refuse to e
So I'm not 100% sure this is the right sub for this but I couldn't really find another sort of mod abuse sub that had actual users. I recognize that I am most certainly an asshole in this situation, but I got banned [email protected] for a misogynistic comment I left on a completely different sub.
imogen_underscore in that same thread made multiple death threats against me and has only received a 7 day ban. So I want to be clear here that in their eyes a misogynistic comment left on an entirely different sub is WORSE than death threats left in your own sub?
This action was taken under an unannounced rule that can label and censor criticism of anyone or anything with "FUD."
You'll find it's only used to protect the rich and powerful, though.
Unable to simply delete the post, the moderators scrubbed comments from anyone who named and shamed CEO James Dolan, but allowed his supporters to remain uncensored.
![James Dolan is a thin-skinned billionaire crybaby who runs Madison Square Garden like it’s his own little surveillance state. The fact that he's using facial recognition tech to ban people—not for crimes, not for safety concerns—but for criticizing him is some straight-up dictator energy.........This isn’t just petty. It’s da
This has been bugging me for a while, and I don't know where else to really ask (this feels like the best place for this specific question); but how do you know what mod did what in the modlog? I've rarely ever seen the modlog actually state what mod/admin performed the action. Can get the user of the comment and even the undeleted text of their comment if it's a comment removal; does not show the mod/admin who actually handled it.
Just noticed a comment was removed for "not crossing the line but close to violating the TOS" and I wanna talk to whoever pulled that dumbass shit. I don't think it's a power trip to make a "report" about it here, I just wanna know what the fuck kind of stupid bullshit reasoning that is and the modlog does not show who the moderator that removed it was.
