Getting banned after calling out a power hungry mod. (lemmy.piperservers.net)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Mod over at [email protected] didn't like the opinion presented in an article I shared about the recent cancellation of Star Trek: Prodigy and removed my post to an star trek opinion article. I asked the @[email protected] claimed they removed the opinion piece because they didn't want to give the website clicks.

I wrote a post calling them out on this power hungry practice and tried to involve the community as a whole. As the post gained traction, i was promptly banned for starting "drama"

So now, i guess it's at least mildly infuriating to say the least that a growing community banned someone contributing real discussion worthy content for potentially political reasons and as a result may end up fracturing one of the few kinda centralized communities across the Lemmy verse. I ain't even too mad tho, because that's what makes federation great easy to leave power hungry mods. Too bad for them this ain't reddit 😜

I can understand that too knowing the context. I personallay still think that article did was thought provoking enough to Garner discussion in the comments, which is half the point of a site like this.

But i agree, it's why I made the post! This is something to be discussed as a community as we all escape reddit. This is the time to be ironing these things out. We need these discussions and rules to prevent a mod from feeling they need to ban someone for "drama". Have clear defined rules agreed soon by the community and that problem is solved. Banning people trying to talk about getting a more clear ruleset in place is just asinine. Soon it's only going to be that mod posting and nobody commenting.

I also get things may have been one way on Reddit, but that also doesn't mean it automatically applies here. Even if it did it's not hard to copy and paste rules from reddit to here.

Also, did I see in the modlog they ( @[email protected] is lurking and should really learn this site is way more transparent than reddit) banned you too?

EDIT: Just checked the modlog. They banned you for making this post I'm replying to on a different instance. How anyone could not see that as a red flag of petty retributive mod abuse then I don't know what is. For what it's worth, I banned them from my (much smaller but hopefully gonna pic up some Trekkies soon) instance so they'll never know what's being missed 😜 of course I'd happily reverse it if they cool off and explain their actions.
