Will it be effective?

SpoilerNo, it was not very 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 !vegan@lemmy.world 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:

When some of those mods are perfectly fine with lgbtq persecution, and make it out like vegans have it worse, or dont care because they wouldn't have to see it personally...

I'm just going to go ahead and consider it a toxic shithole. Worst part? Different mod, but they seem to be all over the same vegan communities, so none of them become worthwhile.

I personally don't care if they ban me since I've blocked the communities anyway. Just unfortunate as I really enjoy seeing some of the recipes, as there are a decent number of them that are gluten free (which I need to be).

    Which mod is queerphobic? Can I see the evidence?

    Well, spoke to soon. I was banned for being 'uncivil' on the .world vegan community for calling out this same behavior, and hoping the community ended up somewhere other than on that particular instance.

    Sooo.... yeah I'm keeping the block. Maybe expanding to some mods there would be sensible.

    Edit: There, all set now.

    I'll have to unblock, so I can do that later on, sure. Working so not paying much attention to Lemmy at the moment.

    Edit: Sorry, my mistake, not a mod. An admin on the instance recommended / linked to in the side bar.
