Rimu Mass Bans Users
(thelemmy.club)
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.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
Relevant comms
I do think it's funny just how much vitriol I seem to get, and I mostly stick to Lemmy.ml anyways.
They loathe you because they can't dismiss you without doing a bunch of reading they otherwise wouldnt do
I tend to agree. If I were more aggressive, then it's easy to dismiss me as a troll, but I deliberately choose not to do that.
I'm pretty sure any interaction you and I have had was about as luke warm as yesterday's tea, and I think even that would be more heated than any interaction ive had with rimu. I think I once commented about someones preferred pronouns not being used? Eh, whatever.
Apparently I'm wayyyy more ban worthy than you.
Edit: I want a sticker to commemorate this event.
Edit 2: Oh, and for the record I think it was something like "they prefer x", and you replied with "whoops, let me correct". I don't want to imply it was some sort of negative interaction and give folks the wrong impression.
I'll be honest, I don't really recall, which probably is in part because it was likely such a lukewarm interaction in the first place.
Pretty much exactly that
I honestly wonder if they ignore me because I'm meaner. But who knows what goes on in their heads.
I suspect it too, I frequently have to revise my comments to tone them down before posting (and even after) because I know confrontation just turns people off of productive discussion, but I think this causes cognitive dissonance in some rather extreme reactionaries. Few people mildly dislike me, it seems either varying degrees of neutrality or positive views, or otherwise extreme hatred. Just what I've noticed.
Honestly it's probably the amount of text. A few of the people who got banned are dyed in the wool multi-paragraph to full book of text posters. Cowbee and Staments being the absolute gods of this.
I bet that list is just a stack ranked list of numbers of words in threads they didn't like, and Rimu just banned line the top 50.
No one has ever accused me of not posting walls of texts before 🤣
I think you're right about it being about a specific thread though.
