Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

Will it be effective?

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.


EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!


EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!


EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the [email protected] community, as a result of their abuse of power.

This was their response:


EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:

Nice.. thanks. I had indeed just checked the website. I think it should then just be on the website. Especially if they are exposing votes then open this up too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it's weird it just says 'mod' or 'admin' instead of the username

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's because people abused mods who banned them and such. I kinda get it.
