Apparently I was instance banned for a single downvote on a ~~comment~~ post I disagreed with. I've said before that mods who do this kinda thing are cowards, but I'm honestly not hugely upset about it as I'm not a furry, so whatever. But insulting me in the ban is too much. Grow a fucking spine you pussy, and at least message me if you're too going to insult me with your ban.
Edit: Changed comment to post, for clarity. I assumed it was a comment I downvoted as I tend to interact more in comments.
Edit 2: This got more traction than I expected and I'm glad to see most agree that moderating by voting behavior is childish. I don't condone the transphobia in the comments though. Don't judge people for how they view themselves, judge them for their actions, especially towards others.
Edit 3: Now apparently I'm inciting harassment by posting here. Go fuck yourself. I never even called you out by name.
Modlog intentionally hides the name of the admin responsible for mod actions to users.
This is by design of the Lemmy creators, but I feel like this intentionally inherits one of the worst things about Reddit: mod unaccountability to the community.
Well at least there is a public modlog. You know someone within a community has hit the ban button. Albeit the viewability of the mod-log generally could do with some ironing out.
It's infuriating to me as a mod as well, because things getting removed without me being able to understand why makes it harder to do my "job." I can't even go ask the admin for their reasoning, because I have no idea who it was!
That goes double for the fact that when somebody checks the "remove content" option when banning, the removed content doesn't show up in the modlog.
If a community has a small number of mods you can filter by mod on lemmy to see if it is who you think it is, but it shouldn't be that hard to see which dumbass mods are banning people for stupid and petty reasons.
